In a well-protected enclave, Jon is shielded from the worst environmental effects that resulted when the moon was knocked out of place a few years (and three Life As We Knew It books) ago. Pfeffer does justice to each recurring complex character, though a lack of satisfactory explanation for the existing power dynamics mar this intriguing revisit to the world gone permanently awry.
