But Tucker, at least, knows what he wants: revenge against SYLO (or whoever else may have been ultimately responsible) for the death of his best friend. They find themselves in a post-apocalyptic landscape, unsure of where to go or who to trust. They discover that the epic battle that they witnessed between SYLO (the military organization that quarantined and tried to kill them) and another branch of the US Military was NOT an isolated event. Storm begins immediately following the events of SYLO, with Tucker and his friends having escaped Pemberwick Island. MacHale dramatically raises the stakes for teen hero Tucker Pierce. Book 1, SYLO, was fast-paced and intriguing, with a nicely-realized depiction of island life, and the reluctant coming together of four teens. The SYLO series started with a mysterious government quarantine of a small island off the coast of Maine. This review will contain spoilers for the first book (it would be impossible not to, though I'll try to keep them to a minimum). I read it compulsively over the weekend, and can't wait for t he next SYLO book (due out in October). I'm happy to report that I was not disappointed. Yingling's positive review of the second book, Storm, last week, I immediately had to read it. Last year I read and enjoyed the first book in D. Book: Storm: The SYLO Chronicles #2 (iBooks link)
