2nd Earth by Edward and Eunice Vought A tale of two SEALs who find their lives – and the entire world – turned upside down after they fall asleep on a subway, “2nd Earth” is a rather poorly-executed story with a great underlying concept. With the two soldiers, Tim and Jon, finding the world in the pits of destruction and its survivors clamoring for every scrap of food and sustenance it can find taking a little nap on a subway ride that started in a bustling , thriving city, you’d think the characters would be raring to find out why and how they’re in the predicament. However, the authors seemed more content with them settling down with complete strangers instead of expanding on the intriguing base plot. Though an ambitious 460-page effort, dialogue is virtually nonexistent and the first-person perspective of Jon isn’t written that well either. A brilliant concept that just never takes off.
