The saga of Dark Angel continues! Someone is killing normal humans in the fog-enshrouded city of Seattle. The murders are brutal and grisly, but inside Terminal City they barely cause a ripple of concern. The transgenics who live there have problems of their own. In an area under siege by the oppressive arm of the police, the transgenics must protect their fledgling colony against the outside world--a world that eyes them with contempt and suspicion . . . and will do anything to be rid of them. As the killings escalate, Joshua comes to Max with a dire suspicion: the killer may be one of their own. Tensions are high between normal humans and transgenics, and many inside the protected City would just as soon let the humans fend for themselves. Yet Max and her inner circle know they must investigate the crimes and stop the bloodshed. Doing nothing would simply give the normals more reasons to hate. But what they discover will shock even the most jaded among them--and expose a sinister agenda that leads to an old, nefarious foe. . . .… (meer)

Works okay as a closure to what was built up in the last episodes of Dark Angel. Yes, it is simple, and some things feel a bit rushed, but I suspect the writer had a page-limit which caused this problem. Other than that I was okay with it. ( )

Collins has the subtlety of a a herd of elephants running through the jungle. Every time he switches perspectives to a new - male - character, he does a full brain dump of their past, their hopes and dreams, their context, etc. Dull as shit, and leaves no surprise for the reader. As well, since he does this with EVERY guy, important to the plot or disposable, I don't know the importance and just can't get it up for EVERYONE. I feel like I have empathy fatigue for stupid scenes and nothing left for the main plot. Not only that but bad technique is completely breaking the forth wall. And, honestly, why do I care about this secondary character's family going back a few generations? I don't even care about that for main characters - and if any ancestry should be traced, it would be the eugenics cult!!! Oh gee, this human had grandparents, shocking....

Overlapping in part with the finale episode, this is a quite good continuation that truly feels like it could have been an episode of the series. And the final sentence was surprisingly heartbreaking. ( )

Years ago, shortly after "Dark Angel" went off the air, I was tickled to find out there were some novels based on the series. In particular I was psyched to see one that offered some sort of resolution of a story I highly enjoyed. Despite the fact that I didn't really get the complete resolution I was seeking I did enjoy the story.

It has been a while since I watched the show but if memory serves me correctly this picks up right after the series left off with the rising of Terminal City as the new mutant nation. The characterization rang true to what I remember as well which I really liked a lot and the underlying murder/suspense plot fit well with the events. It was nice to "see" Max, Logan, Joshua, Alec (oh, baby!) and the rest. It has certainly made me nostalgic for re-watching some of the episodes.

I know it took me quite a while to get around to reading this, but now I'm curious to see if they did another novelization after this one. Maybe I'll yet get some of that resolution I seek. ( )

Like a relentless boxer, rain beat down on the city, first jabbing with sharp needles, then smacking Seattle with huge fat drops that hit like haymakers, the barrage punctuated by the ominous rumble of thunder and the eerie flash of lighting.
