I didn't want to wait too long between reading the second volume of this series (especially as I was bringing them to my father to read who turns 71 on December 2nd!).

The second volume is where a lot of the action picks up and we see Luce and Timo struggle to get away from the killers (who get double-crossed from the political assassin!). We find out more about the "Old Peoples" and the Alien Invaders (who need to wear full-body suits since the world's air causes them to burn/ melt/ evaporate!).

The pace is much quicker as we are on the run from too many people, not many of whom we're even aware of! A good follow-up.… (meer)

Coming into a series like this missing the 1st volume, it's sometimes difficult to figure out who's who and just what the point is. Although I did have a bit of a hard time at the beginning, once the flashback scenes were done with (although I don't believe they were part of the 1st volume) I did quickly get into it. In this volume, the young(?!) Warrior Woman recovers from her injuries at a Palace of "Games" that hides a sickening secret even the owner is unaware of! We learn of an ancient creature who continued to survive after Akameshi wounded it 50 years ago! It seems that there is much of special to this woman - not the least of which being that she can see into the spirit world! Very entertaining!… (meer)
