About this listen

After leaving her underground shelter with a passing mutant tribe, 16-year-old Isabella, her new husband Malcolm, two young tribe members, and two little children, seek the old scientist Telemark village's priestess saw in her visions. Is he looking for a vaccine to keep humans from suffering the ravages of their poisoned world? Or are Araddea's visions merely hallucinations born of her mutated mind?

Meanwhile Isabella's brother, Luke, is desperately trying to find them to deliver medication that can save them from a disease they don't even know they have. But Luke isn't just delivering meds...he has escaped the military base with knowledge of a government plan that will help clean up their toxic and irradiated world, but at what cost to mutants?

This is a very intriguing story. I have not listen to the first book. However, I was still able to enjoy this story. The story and narration was perfect and exactly how I imagined.

Fifty years after the one day Terror War that rained down both nuclear and chemical weapons killing most of the world's population, the survivors are divided into 'humans' who lived in sheltered accomodation, and the Outsiders, who, because of genetic abnormalities, were also known as 'mutants' - their lives were mostly short. Isobel had grown up in her family's underground shelter but left and married Malcolm, an Outsider. Reading for her life and with terrible news about what the army intends for the mutants, Isobel's brother Luke heads out to look for her.

This is the second book in a trilogy and, although it would probably add to the understanding of the characters, it is not necessary to have read book one, Into the Outside, as a brief but helpful synopsis prologue brings the reader up to date. The story is a gentle one and, despite horrors and confrontations, there "was still joy to be found." Well written, with good characterisations of the easy to like protagonists, the story switches with alternating chapters between the journeys of Luke and his sister.
Ann Bumback's narration is, in tune with the whole book, a pleasant one, soft, warm and slow, well developed for the different voices, though sometimes lacking intonation in the connecting text. Overall, however, the reading fits the text well.

An enjoyable listen with likable characters and, although there is tension, not as fraught and dark as many post apocalyptic stories. There is still hope. I look forward to the third and final book, Under the Mountain.

The story continues at a pace as Isabella and her tribe of mutants forge ahead, guided by the predictions foretold to them. They visit the old professor who has spent 50 years in his isolated laboratory searching for a cure for the damage the pollution is causing the humans. The tribe continue their journey. Luke, escaped from the military base, tries to catch-up with his sister Isabella. He visits the professor but Isabella has already gone. The professor makes a breakthrough in his research and joins Luke to follow Isabella and her tribe. An exciting listen with great narration. The characters have filled out and the threads are starting to converge.

Any additional comments?

I have to say that book two is better then book one, things move a little more quickly with some action. This book refreshed our memory in what happened in book one and also the characters I found are a lot more developed.
I would recommend this series.
I liked the narrator, I thought she did really well in voicing the characters.

With the change in narrator, I feel that there are been a marked improvement. This narrator really suits this story and she brought out the characters to their full potential and gave the book more of an adult feel.

In this book we follow the characters further into the post nuclear wasteland. The world the author has created develops as does the characters.

Well written and performed story with good character development. The setting is terrifyingly believable, as well as the story line. If you like your dystopian adventures to have action, adventure, and wholesome values vs gratuitous violence and graphic romance, then this is the story for you. I look forward to reading the next Into the Outside book and finding out what happens next!

A Good (And Slightly Terrifying) Story!

The story continues with Isabella/Bell/Izzy and her family, both the mutant (New Human) one and her family left behind in the bunker. The pace really picked up in this book and the narrator was excellent - onto the next!

More action, more story and a great narrator

I received this book via a promo code and this is my honest voluntary review.

Book 2 in the Into The Outside Series. Narration is considerably better in this version than book one, thankfully.

50 years after the retreating of civilisation to underground shelters, Isabella and her new mutant husband Malcolm are on a journey to find a scientist who could possibly make a vaccine to protect humanity and to continue spreading the word about the Governments plan to use the mutant tribes as slave labor on the surface to clean up the wastelands. Overall a passable post-apocalyptic story but even for fiction the idea that the New Mutants reach maturity to have kids at like 11 years old and die by 23 was a stretch too far. Language, development and the idea that the uptop world turns into a bunch of aboriginis in less than 50 years... even in prehistoric times humans lived until their mid 30s and early 40s.. they had to so their offspring could mature and learn enough to survive etc.
