( ) World Divided Author: Mercedes Lackey, Cody Martin, Dennis Lee, Veronica Giguere, Larry Dixon Publisher: Baen Published In: Riverdale, NY Date: February, 2012 Pgs: 421 REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS Summary: A respite in the alien Nazi invasion. Humanity’s meta-heroes fought the enemy off. In the midst of rebuilding, Nazi raiders and motorcycle rednecks swarm out to attack and snipe at the survivors. Secret lairs are discovered. A coup is planned. Extradimensional super intelligent Earthlings stand pat. The Nazis won’t be able to reach them. Sure they won’t. Genre: End of the World Fiction Military Science fiction Superheroes UFOs War Why this book: Shared universe superheroes. ______________________________________________________________________________ Favorite Character: Herbert the earth elemental. Vic the PTSD mage. Least Favorite Character: Soviete. She’s a bit of a scenery chewer. All bombast. Dominic Verdigris III is a everything character. He’s a mary sue villain. He’s a walking deus ex machina. However he goes down, it won’t feel right after all the stuff that he’s done validating his villain credentials. The janitor/government control officer. He’s pure Gyrich. The Feel: Not as good as Invasion. Feels like moving the characters around so we can do something next time. Favorite Scene: Herbert going Groot to save the team from the destructing underground lair of Goldman in the Nevada desert. With Groot-like results and his showing up to live with Vic. When Yankee Pride is introduced to Overwatch in the attack on the diner. And his dealing with the government control officer masquerading as a janitor once Vic tells him where the bodies are buried on that guy. Pacing: The pace is good. Plot Holes/Out of Character: Soviete’s personality seems different from the first book. Course it could be put down to the difference being due to the first book being warfare and this one being aftermath. When Murdock reveals his secret origin to Belladonna Blue and she appears to get mad at him. Doesn’t wash with the way that she has acted previously. Hmm Moments: Dominic Verdigris III is something else. One part Lex Luthor, one part Blofeld. Love the BBQ sauce recipe being a byproduct of the discovery of a new kind of clean chum for sharks. And the Seraphym appearing to him and pointing out that if the alien, extradimensional Nazis win, he’ll be a brain-in-a-box. Goldman’s vault containing samples of the giant robot Nazi armor that the Thulians used in the first book. When Vic summoned Herbert, I thought we were about to get an appearance by The Mountain. Are they moving to have a coup at Echo? Considering that Verdigris is circling and trying to takeover both Echo and Blacksnake, this could be some fireworks. ______________________________________________________________________________ Last Page Sound: Not as good as the first book in the series. Author Assessment: Will look at other stuff by these authors. Editorial Assessment: Should have pushed for this to be a part of the story for Book 3, instead of being a setup piece for the next chapter. Knee Jerk Reaction: it’s alright Disposition of Book: Interlibrary Loan Plano Public Library System Maribelle M Davis Library 7501 Independence Pkwy Plano, TX 75025-2489 Dewey Decimal System: SF LAC Would recommend to: genre fans ______________________________________________________________________________ This still reads exactly like what it is - thinly-veiled collaborative City of Heroes fanfic. It's *good* fanfic, for what it is, but the pacing ends up being a little weird because it's a collection of individual threads stitched together, the framing device still doesn't really work for me, and the villians are still pop-up generic NPCs. I picked up this second volume as a toast to doomed CoH, but it's not something I'm likely to pursue much farther. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"After an Earth-scarring apocalyptic battle, the meta-humans have turned back a massive invasion of super-science powered Nazi war machines. Not meta-hero organization Echo and sometimes Russian ally CCCP must hunt down the secret puppetmasters behind the invasion, the Thule Society. Now fire-bender John Murdock, hacker-witch Vikki Nagy, healer Belladona Blue, super-quick Mercurye--and most of all for their ghostly ally, Seraphym, the spirit of the world who uses her secret influence to direct the fight, must defeat the Thulian-based tyranny of evil and slavery that is fast descending upon the entire universe"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
