As book two goes straight on from book one, I had to double check when it finished that there wasn't a book three when I finished. It just ended. Now looking, this book isn't very old so perhaps there is a resolution coming.
It was enjoyable enough, but nothing earth shattering.

What a fun ride. The second installment in the Fractured States series. This was the first book I have read of Steven Konkoly. Was a little lost in the beginning (won't fault the book as I haven't read the first book yet). But as the story progressed. Pieces began to fall in place. I really enjoyed Rouge State from beginning to end. There was never a dull moment and the action was fast paced. Definitely interested in where Steven takes Nathan and his family next.
Rouge State (Fractured States) also has an interesting setting. Where the American southwest has been ravaged by drought. Making it into a wasteland controlled by cartels.

The subsequent novel to [a:Steven Konkoly|4442737|Steven Konkoly|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1458225200p2/4442737.jpg]’s [b:Fractured State: A Post-Apocalyptic Thriller|28163599|Fractured State A Post-Apocalyptic Thriller|Steven Konkoly|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1457687589s/28163599.jpg|48167059] picks right back up where the prior novel ended. The first one ended without any real resolutions for the characters and this one wraps up some, but not all. Neither are standalone books and I assume the author has a third installment planned. The pace matched the first book and at moments I was holding my breath and on the edge of my seat. After one prominent death I was yelling to myself, "No no no!" This is as much a page-turner as the first one. I recommend them both to anyone interested in a post-apocalyptic story that’s plausible and filled with military action and jargon. Both free through Amazon Prime.
This series reads like a movie and I sort of hope it makes its way to the silver screen at some point. The action and drama intertwine perfectly for a well-balanced thrill ride.

2.5 stars. I wanted an ending and I didn't get one. If a third book comes out in this series I won't be reading it.
