Saving the world from being destroyed did not keep everything the
way it was before the wormholes were created. Janelle is now dealing with a
world devastated by tsunamis, fire, and earthquakes without any aid from the
government or other countries. As if that wasn't enough, people are
disappearing into thin air. It takes Barclay coming to recruit Janelle's help
for her to realize that this is bigger than just her universe and it will only
get worse unless she teams up with Barclay to save the multiverse. Again.
Unbreakable is way better than its prequel Unraveling because it takes
"intense" to the next level. There is a lot of saving for Janelle
(and friends) to accomplish in only a week, and Norris knows how to keep the
action moving without letting the suspense die down until the very last shot is
fired. Unfortunately, this action-packed story is a little too descriptive in
some of the fighting scenes, and the first fifty pages take a lot of patience
to endure Janelle's whining complaints about missing Ben. I would, however,
like to congratulate Norris on getting the swearing under better control in
this book--it made the read more enjoyable than its prequel.
