Publisher's Summary

The fate of mankind is in the hands of a group of 20-something science nerds in the sequel to Outland, by the Audible #1 best-selling author of the “Bobiverse” series.

The Yellowstone super-eruption has put an end to modern civilization. As cities and countries continue to fall, the colony of Rivendell in the alternate Earth known as Outland looks more and more like the only real hope for humanity. But life in Rivendell isn’t getting any simpler, either. Bill and Kevin continue to discover new worlds; the population continues to rise; winter is approaching; and everyone has their own opinion about how things should be run.

Then, a garbled plea for help from Omaha sends most of the security forces back Earthside to investigate, leaving Monica’s police force understaffed just as a large group of refugees arrive with its own ideas and power structure. With threats from both inside and outside, will the colony even survive until spring?

Nothing important happened

The contents of the whole book could be summarised in a single chapter. I'd advise you to skip this book and just read a summary online.

More of the same with different voices

The story was fun, but I didn't see the point in changing most characters' voices. It seemed like a strange choice to make especially when the main crew had such distinct voices in the first novel, I could barely tell them apart now.
Kevin now sounds bland, Richard's voice has risen an octave and Matt now sounds southern.
The story itself was good scifi, I just always wish it was longer.

Good story

The story is a bit off with the knowledge of other cultures besides USA culture

Literally a work of art. It's so fkcuin good

Also he wrote a character that was clearly against Dennis' political affiliation, smart. The character had intelligence and wasn't portrayed as a big dumb idiot. You dont see that every day. Dennis, I love you

Always exciting

I love Denis E Taylor. Love Ray Porter's expression of all the characters. Love the twist, looking forward to the next one. I was half way home when the book ended.
Not Happy Jan. 😂
More, more, more.
