What a fantastic book! I generally don't read much science fiction but I am so glad that I read The Two Towers. The book is very well written, and is likely to appeal to a broad audience as it includes plenty of action, romance, a wonderful cast of characters, including a kick-ass heroine (Kayla) and some interesting plot twists. While I was initially irritated by Kayla's seeming perfection (here we go, yet another heroine who is drop-dead gorgeous and good at everything!), this lessened as the novel progressed and important elements of her backstory were revealed. The characters were well-developed and the dialogue realistic. I loved the camraderie between Kayla, Carl and the team. I would highly recommend this book to other readers and eagerly await book 2!

 Suspenseful, steamy and action-packed, The Two Towers is a blockbuster opening to a series which is certain to thrill sci-fi readers for years to come.
One hundred and fifty years after the earth was ravaged by war, the two self-sustaining towers built by OmniLab continue to offer a safe haven for those who paid the hefty price to assure their family's survival. But on the surface, there are others who have survived over the years struggling to barter and trade artifacts found within the ruins of the crumbling cities in exchange for critical supplies. When Kayla, a ruin rat skilled in computer hacking and scavenging, discovers a strange artifact known as The Aurelia Data Cube, she finds herself inadvertently caught up in a series of events that threatens the lives of the mysterious and elusive people within OmniLab. Carl, an unorthodox negotiator with a head for business, is determined to eradicate the corruption amongst his OmniLab brethren and has no qualms about using Kayla to do it. Unfortunately, he wasn't counting on the vastness of the corruption or his own feelings for the headstrong woman who turns his life upside down. Caught between the life she knew and a dangerous world that's claimed her as their own, Kayla learns the fearful truth behind just how far one man will go to obtain power and how far she'll go to survive.

I loved this book. Waters is an excellent writer and the editing is top notch. This is an excellent book that just demands to be made into a movie. Waters has a sense of visual and emotional drama that grabs the reader and just doesn't let go. Her main character, Kayla, is just barely an adult but is already a highly skilled scavenger and technician with an innate sense of where to look for loot in the ruins that remain of human civilization. She's scrappy, sexy, empowered and willing to go toe-to-toe with anyone and everyone. Believe me---she's a fantastic heroine. There's also the two love interests that you find in romance novels but that's about all that's typical about this book. Waters throws out the normal bodice ripping stereotype and has created a book that is inventive and really holds your interest. This is a great book and the sequel is coming out in a few weeks so this is a perfect time to start reading the series. (
