review no 13: in a time where they belong by brenda cheers

Ever since finishing the previous book in this series "In Strange Worlds" I have been looking forward to the sequel. I had so many questions - What happened to Meg? What caused most of the human race to die suddenly? And who are the strange guys in the helicopters? Without giving too much away I can reveal that several pressing questions are answered within "In A Time Where They Belong"... as well as many new twists and turns that I didn't see coming.

Continuing on from where Is Strange Worlds left off, the small community in Maleny on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland faces many new challenges. Again I can't reveal too much but suffice to say frightening new illnesses, animal plagues and some new survivors all add to the mix. As the story progressed I gained a deeper understanding of the concepts the author explores. Having not much read much in this genre before it is certainly an eye opening experience.

One thing I really like about In A Time Where They Belong is that the characters are well drawn and believable. I can really relate to most of them, which helped my understanding of the "out there" elements this story embraces.

Once again Brenda Cheers has written an engaging and thought provoking book that challenges the reader to expand their horizons and consider what they might do if the world as they know it suddenly ceased to exist. And once again I look forward to the next installment.
