Season 2 of Amazon's Fallout adaptation, that picks up from where Season 1 left off, and with Lucy McClean now searching for her father for very different reasons than before whilst the Ghoul continues his search for his family and whilst Maximus is back with the Brotherhood of Steel, and whilst more intrigue and secrets come to light amongst the vault dwellers.

That sounds like quite a lot.

Which, to its credit, the show manages to spin seemingly effortlessly, again contrasting the 'now' with flashbacks to the past (and the Ghoul's former life), before the bombs dropped.

I've never played the games, so I can't say how closely it sticks, but I do have to say - for all that - this is thoroughly enjoyable, and mostly welcoming to newcomers (although they will need to have watched season 1 first).

Naz seems like a normal boy. Both his parents have died and the only family he has is his younger sister Meri. Moving from foster home to foster home in the ghetto for the disadvantaged called the Exclave, earning spare money running errands for local shopkeepers.

But Naz is not a normal boy. He can remember nothing before waking up in hospital three years previously following the car crash in which his father died. And he hears voices in his head, or rather one voice which seems familiar although he does not recognise it.

Following an apparently random act of gang violence on the way to his his first day at high school, his life begins to change and he starts to question exactly who he is and what makes him the way he is.

Told from Naz's point of view the reader is drawn into his tale of discovery as he goes about is every day life of school and afterwards in the Exclave. Naz is a very likeable character, concerned for the safety of his sister above all else and suspicious of strangers. He is clever and quick witted but doesn't really use his talents, drifting through school and life in general with the minimum of effort, generally happy with his lot until he is forced to re-evaluate his life as events unfold around him.

The story is paced well with periods of Naz leading his life and going to school, which is made interesting by his observations on everything around him, interspersed with things that Naz does or sees, or that other people say and do, that really make the reader realise that there is 'something else' going on, a bigger picture that Naz is unable to put together, although he gets glimpses. There are also chapters at the start of each section describing a lecture given by Naz's father which adds some more clues.

The ideas here are certainly interesting - this is science fiction of a subtle kind, where only the edges of Naz's life are visible to both him and us, with outsiders often recognising that there is more to him, more that he can achieve. The supporting cast works well, from the hard-pressed merchants fighting the big multiple chain stores to the menacing gang members and other more eccentric inhabitants of the Exclave.

Overall a fascinating and thought provoking read, with plenty of questions left to draw the reader to the next in the series.
