Afterlight by Alex Scarrow

4.0

I fair enjoyed this second title in the series. As the author notes in his afterword, setting it so much further on from the first book lets it be different and it's own thing. It's a pretty scary potential future, though set to an extreme - I really don't think self-sustaining little hamlets couldn't or wouldn't form for themselves - that leaves behind some thoughts on our rampant consumerism and unsustainable consumption.

Along the way we have a few surprises, a somewhat abrupt ending and a few "huh?" decisions, but I was happy reading this mostly easy-going, post-apocalyptic tale.
