Review: The Second book in the trilogy picks up almost immediately after the conclusion of `The Strain', and chronicles the horrendous manifestations of the following three weeks or so (with added back story, told through flashbacks concerning Setrakian) as the vampires take Manhattan --- and beyond like a pandemic, the likes of which Mankind has never seen--- and civilization begins to crumble. Our modern day Vampire enabler and top Corporate CEO Palmer uses his quiet influence to compel a news blackout concerning the true nature of what is really going on. The disappearances and deaths are blamed on a virus, and there is no meaningful resistance to the ever-growing number of vampires. Setrakian is confident that a legendary ancient book, long lost to history, will contain the answer to defeating the Master once and for all. Goodweather, has other ideas, as he plots an assassination attempt that he believes will upset the uneasy 'force multiplier' of Palmer and the Master. For the rest, you will have to read the book! The real narrative, however; for me, takes place in the streets of New York, in the shuttered tenements, and other vacated buildings, and in subway tunnels where vampires, use them like `rat runs' and emerge to hunt for food. For those that try to fight, they are scattered valiant but doomed. THE FALL is believable and frightening.

Review: Started this book three or four times over the years, and committed to reading/finishing the series before I finished watching the associated TV show. The strongest book of The Strain trilogy, The Fall opens up a lot more of a world of vampiric history and development. The book continues in the style of the first book with a hugely interesting idea, incorporating elements of religion, body-horror and old-fashioned hard-boiled detective-type feels. The book retains the frustrating head-hopping elements of its prequel, but I found this forgivable when turning this into a much larger world-building experience with exciting promise for the final book in the season.
