The sequal to Jump Start is as good as the first.

In the sequal to Jump Start, the Turbo Cowboys have begun to establish themselves in the Mojave desert. They have their bikes, their dog,(named Yap), their friends, and each other. The only thing missing is a new set of problems.The Cowboys run into a beaten up old man called "Older John" who tells them of one of the last great gathering of survivors of the war, all gathered into one place he calls "the Refuge". The location of this place has been kept a closely gaurded secret of the people who live there until now. They are facing the largest crisis the have ever faced.They have run out of water.Older John, upon learning that Tracker is a Yavapai indian who can find water basically anywhere in the Mojave desert asks the Turbo Cowboys to save the Refuge. Sounds easy right? Unfortunetly, the people who beat up Older John are looking for the Refuge as well. They are a new group of tough Takers, people who will take whatever they want from whomever they want, usually by force. Learning the secret location of the Refuge from Older John, the boys head out to try and save a group of strangers from dying of thirst and protecting them from the vicious Takers who have also learned (approximately) where the Refuge is.A good follow up story in the series that didn't lose its pacing throughout the story. Four stars because it was missing length and depth. Like the first book it is entertaining but kind of an easy read.
