Title: Not Awaiting the Third
Review: I picked up "Forty Signs of Rain" just before Christmas and couldn't put it down. A number of characters were developed and a suspenseful storyline ensued. I finshed the book quickly and ran out to get "Fifty Degrees Below". What a disappointment! The only story is about Frank living in the wilderness getting back to paleolithic life. This goes on ad nauseum. How many times do we need to read about him getting in and out of his treehouse or playing frisbee golf or searching for aurochs? Meanwhile the other characters from the previous book are nearly forgotten including Charlie, Joe, Anna and Dreprung. The environmental changes don't appear until half the book is over. The only good thing about "Fifty Degrees Below" is that I won't be sitting around anticipating the release of the third.
