My Thoughts:
Middle chunk of a bigger book.
As expected this book ended in a cliffhanger. However this cliffhanger is better than the first book because it ended in a high note and also kind of closed the dilemma in this stretch of their lives.
Like the first book, this one also requires you to dumb down your intelligence for the story to make a little bit more sense.
Still a wonderful read! I just don't like cliffhanger endings and dumbing downs.
Jocelyn Duford did a wonderful job of bringing this book to life!

About Laurence Dahners:
Amazon best-selling Science Fiction writer, Laurence E. Dahners, is a former orthopedic surgeon who has written over fifty books, including eighteen in the popular Ell Donsaii series. He writes optimistic stories in which science solves problems rather than bringing on dystopias. His favorite writing strategy is to imagine, “what if,” some advance (such as teleportation, reactionless drives, stopping time, etcetera) were possible, what changes might be wrought in our world?
How might our hero utilize such an advance?
Who might stand to lose from the introduction of such changes and how might they strive to resist its introduction?
He loves to write such stories and hopes you’ll enjoy reading them.
