I'm a committed JB fan, so I was always going to listen to this.
In this second part of JB's non-zombie apocalypse, he exposes more well-researched future-gazing as the US vanishes up its own libertarian fundament. Listening to this in the age of COVID and as a keen consumer of apocalyptic books and games, it's a tad uncanny how close (though a few steps more apocalyptic) he is to the reality.
In performance terms, Rupert Degas once more delivers, giving us keenly realised voice work, even with JBs occasionally hyperbolic (in a good way) characters.
