First off, this is the sequel to HALLOWED BE THY NAME, so read that first, then sit back and enjoy a well written ending to the story of good science gone bad.
From start to finish, the book keeps moving, no jet lag in between, well thought out and thought provoking. Should we really be messing around "improving" on nature? Was the "bad guy" really bad or just a victim of science pushing its limits too fast and too soon? The ending brought closure to the story, but did what a good book does, it made me think what if... HALLOWED GROUND
After reading the fast paced Hallowed Be Thy Name, I was eager to see what would happen next with the principle characters. However Somers has included some new characters and another fast moving plot and thrown some of the originals into the mix. I'm glad this wasn't simply a rehash of the first conflict, but a whole new one!
Samuel Stokes makes for a very interesting villian...on the one hand, he's vicious in his revenge, on the other you can feel for him...why he's doing what he's doing. Somers leaves it to the reader to pick the good guys here as moral issues about how far man should take his "science" abound.
The novel was a fun, quick read and I highly recommend it along with the first Hallowed novel.
Although it is very good writing and another imaginative plot line following on the heels of Hallowed Be Thy Name, this book was quite short and lacking in the punch the first novel provided. All in all, for 99 cents it is a good read. - Fantasy - Action - Thriller - Paranormal Romance'
