If science fiction and dystopian are your genres of choice, and if conservation is something you feel strongly about, you definitely need to get these books. I was surprised at some of the reactions to certain actions, and though I was left with more questions, I’ll try to be patient while anxiously awaiting the conclusion to this hard-hitting series. The Hive is certainly an interesting place to be. Even more so, I imagine, when chaos reigns. It’s hard for me to imagine such evil human beings exist, but I’ve come to believe that in this day and age anything is possible.

The events in this book didn’t shock me as much as some of the happenings in the previous books, but one specific character (who thankfully takes his last breath in this installment) still managed to terrify me with his presence and his strife-causing doings. In keeping with the previous four books, plot twists and secrets are plentiful, although there are also several revelations. In “Evil Among Us” the suspense and intrigue builds up to breaking point and seeing as this is the second to last book in this series, I was riveted. With each new release in the Species Intervention #6609 Series, my expectations keep getting higher, and as yet Accinni has not let me down. They fight to eke out a role in the new ecosystem that has put them at the bottom of the food.After finishing the fourth book in this magnificent series, I couldn’t wait for the release of the fifth, titled “Evil Among Us”. Struggles ensue as the survivors discover the perils of the new and amazing life delivered to the planet by the Womb. Every human now realizes their role is to support the animals.And what of poor six-year-old Suzy as she is mourned and forgotten by her grandfather and sister?Scotty is hailed as The One to restore domination by the humans, even as they all fail to understand how. The original wildlife is still with them, along with their generations of offspring. New alliances have been made relationships that should have led to the birth of children flourish unhappily without babies. New plants and forms of wildlife from different worlds populate the planet, as chosen by the Womb.The survivors, as expected, have not aged a day since the bombs dropped.

But it is a far different Earth from the one last seen so long ago.
