This is a sequel, yes, where the reader follows Leilani and her family who are doing their best to cope with a more primitive and sustainable lifestyle. I so enjoyed the first novel that I quickly located this followup. The theme is different for we go deeper into Leilani's life learning more about her friends and family.
Because of her epileptic seizures, Leilani discovers that the strange coloring in the sky is alive yet its awareness of others is little. It doesn't and can't understand the damage its appearance has done to the enties below it. When nuclear power plants begin exploding, the people on earth begin to realize that the world as they know it may be destroyed.
Quite by accident, Leilani makes contact with the creature. Meanwhile the violence of the gangs intensifies. Somehow, Leilani and her family in their isolated area survive and begin a new life.
Of course, their life and violence eventually collide and Leilani must help her family survive. Thinking that radiation from the nuclear plants somehow disappears without damaging earth or its populance, Leilani believes the entity above earth may be "eating" the radiation. Others believe otherwise. The result leads to a climax between not just between the violent gangs but someone who wants the creature to go away. Very good sequel. Can't help be recommend both books.
