The second book in the Strain Trilogy is a fun
continuation of del Toro and Hogan’s take on the vampire outbreak story. Nothing really ground breaking here but it’s
a fun read. There were a couple moments
where I questioned the character’s choices but in the end I want to keep
following the story. It seems kind
of hopeless as the Vampire pandemic spreads across New York City while the
billionaire ldritch Palmer uses his influence and money to make sure no one is
taking it seriously. The Master is
spreading his reach and the only hope we have is in Professor Abraham Setrakian,
old guy who has dedicated his life to find and kill the Master, and ex-CDC
officer Ep Goodweather who is having to help his son deal with the fact his
mother is now one of them. Grade: B+
Spoiler:
Vampires are taking over the world. As a father I would do everything I could to
make sure my son was safe, especially if his vampire mom was coming for
him. Not Ep, nope. This guy decides to let his girlfriend take
care of his son while he goes on a suicide mission to save the world. I get it; he thinks he can stop it. But your son needs you, man. This is the part I had a really hard time
buying.
