Clayton Shepard is lost, cold, alone, and determined to find his way home.
But he's landed on a planet he doesn't recognize. Earth isn't the same place he left months earlier.
There is little light, no heat, and limited communication.
As he works to find his way back to his family, they cope with the struggles of a new reality and a quickly devolving society.
What none of them know is that the radioactive blast that plunged their lives into darkness was only the first one.
More is on the way.

What? It's Over?

After crash landing on Earth -- Clayton has to find out where he is and is instantly thrown into surviving. Clayton's wife and child are back home, also trying to adjust to this new way of living. The story flips between them and a few other characters. Some bad guys and some government people who are setting the stage for book 3.
I was really worried about this book because of how much I enjoyed the first one. I rarely ever get that tingly sensation from a book -- so Descent had a lot to live up to. I knew that Abrahams couldn't continue to write about space and Clayton's struggle aboard the failing ISS. So, with that in my head, I dove into this head first hoping not to smack my head on the bottom.
I didn't, and this book was just as enjoyable as the first one. The action has moved from space down to Earth, but Clayton is in an almost as inhospitable place as before and has to find his way to safety before he can even consider heading home.
Abrahams sprinkles a lot of different things in this book that if I were to list here would make it sound completely disjointed and unorganized -- but he makes it work. He was able to weave these separate stories into one cohesive unit, making Descent an enjoyable post-apocalyptic thriller.
PA fans will find a lot of elements that they are used to in this, and a few that they aren't (I think). Abrahams is one of the best writers in this genre, and I will continue to buy his post-apocalyptic stories if he continues to weave stories like this one.
The saddest part of my review is that I basically can't write any details about this book without spoiling things. There were a lot of parts that I wanted to bring up while writing this, and I knew it would either spoil the first story a little or definitely spoil some of the surprises in this one.
Kevin Pierce voiced SpaceMan and is back for Descent. Providing the perfect voice for the main character and the perfect tone for this novel is just part of a Kevin Pierce narration.
Overall, Descent wasn't jaw-dropping amazing like SpaceMan, but it weaves a great post-apocalyptic story that you'll be upset if you miss.
I was given a free copy of this book, it has not affected my review.

So do yourself a favor Read and enjoy the series. Also Mr Abraham's is rare among most writers. He does what he said he would even though he is extremely busy,a kind caring person whom I respect very much.

The sequel was better than the first

This is one of those books where the plot only works if every single character acts consistently stupid, makes poor emotional choices and even worse logical choices.
It's like an episode of Lost (the TV show). The drama only works because no one acts like a normal human being. Instead of talking to each other the characters choose to run through the jungle, trip over things, and shoot at each other. That's Lost, and that's this novel.
Descent is a disappointing follow up to Spaceman and only works as "theater of the mind" if you shut off your mind and punch yourself in the head.. several times.
Smart people make wilfully stupid decisions

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Yes, with some caveats. I genuinely enjoy Kevin Pierce's reading of the book, and the various characters are definitely alive with his voice. I do not enjoy the underlying current of proselytizing that weaves its way through the book. It does get tiresome.On balance though, time well spent.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Descent?
I think the plane journey of our Spaceman is compelling listening.What does Kevin Pierce bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
AuthenticityPower
Consistency
Was Descent worth the listening time?
As previously noted, on balance, yes.Any additional comments?
Have to admit I am waiting for the next book in the series, secure in the knowledge that the author will be on his inevitable soap box. That said, I enjoy the characters ( and KP ) too much to stop listening to the series.Recommended.
Odd review for a good ( not great ) book 2
