"A Compelling Second Act!" A Great Fantasy/SciFi story. The characters are complete, complex and engaging. The prose are top notch and make for a fast read. Mr. Lydon knows how to set a scene and you will feel like part of the crew as you laugh, ache and rage with the characters who are so well written you swear they are real. Even the characters we despise are compelling. The suspense, the twists and turns as well as a universe so well structured and complete you will be reading on the edge of your seat. By the end of the book you'll be e-mailing Mr. Lydon to have the 3rd book out sooner rather than later. In fact if we could get it today we would all be happier! A great story and well worth getting Today!
