The Last Escape by Bobby Adair and T.W. Piperbrook is the second entry in their The Last Survivors series. I had mixed feelings after reading the first book, I didn’t enjoy some of the aspects of this dystopian story, but I was intrigued enough to continue on with the series. Now after completing the second book and finding that the story feels dragged out and I can see no final conclusion on the horizon, I am ready to let this one go.

This type of story needs to move quickly and grab the reader with an adventurous plot filled with action and excitement. Unfortunately this book just didn’t deliver the goods. I am also tired of reading dystopian fiction that features a male dominated society that treats women as lesser beings. For these reasons I feel quite satisfied with my decision not to continue with these books. ( )
