Alex and Darla return to the no-mans-land that is the US west of the Mississippi to search for his parents among the ominous cannibal gangs and FEMA concentration camps. Action is more or less nonstop (if not always entirely believable), Darla is still kickass, there are some sad and touching moments, and I LOVE the new character Ben who knows military strategy as only an autistic person can. 3.5 stars.
