This Monument 14 sequel features a nifty plot device that provides unexpected moments of chaos: upon exposure to poisoned air, people with type-O blood go berserk, type-AB have paranoid delusions, and type-A blister and bleed to death. Laybourne excels at combining specific details of a world gone horribly wrong with intriguing characters, adding new ones as she sets up the next book.
