Clickers II: The Next Wave by J.F. Gonzalez, Brian Keene

4.0

Like all good grade B movies, the original CLICKERS novel gets a sequel in the form of CLICKERS II: THE NEXT WAVE. Unlike most sequels though, the story here is just as good as the first one.

It is about ten years after the events in the first book. The government has tried covering up the event at Phillipsport. The truth has been left to conspiracy theorist as all the survivors from that day have been killed or are permanently in hiding. With a familiar catalyst, a hurricane strikes the East Coast and brings with it clickers that are bigger, stronger and more vicious than what was seen before.

Mixed in with some new characters such as a religiously fanatic President and marine biologist at the right spot are some familiar characters from the first book. And as before, the characters are really the driving force behind the book. There are the typical victims who are going to die but then the others are the ones that keep you cheering to survive or even booing to die. No matter what way you look at it, the book is pure fun and will be enjoyed! In the time between me finishing the first book and me getting to this book, Gonzalez and Keene have added a fourth book in the series, so I still have two more sequels to read. Yay!
