STORM (SYLO Chronicles #2), by D.J. MacHale


The story: It's the US Navy (also known as SYLO) against the "Retros": an unseen enemy that's taken over the Air Force, obliterated 3/4 of the people on the planet, and started what seems to be a second Civil War. On their own, with the RETROs' deadly black fighters on their trail, Tucker, Tori, Olivia and Kent start a frantic cross-country journey to find and get their revenge on whoever's behind all this. But first they have to face betrayal from within...

June Cleaver's ratings: Language PG-13; Violence R; Sexual Content PG; Nudity PG-13; Substance Abuse PG; Magic & the occult G; GLBT content G; adult themes (genocide, murder, death of a close friend) PG-13; overall rating PG-13.

Liz's comments: Another second-of-three volume that spends most of its time incrementally moving the story forward without actually coming to a resolution. Still, there's lots going on here that will keep readers (especially boys) engaged, which is something to cheer all by itself!
