Sean and Dillion are back! In the second installment in what
I hope will be an on-going series, Thomas Locke weaves together multiple story
lines and introduces us to new worlds and new characters in his thrilling new
work.
The action is fast paced. The only problem you face when
reading this book is how can you stop and wait until the next day to continue
reading. Locke’s description of new worlds and new technology is amazing. You can
see what a fictional world looks like after reading this novel. As one of the
characters in the book says about
another gift, the ability to create images with words is a gift that cannot be
taught and can only be honed. He has honed his gift well.
The story will draw you in. If you like to try to guess the
outcome, good luck. The author manages again to point the story in one
direction and then suddenly shift the flow to an unseen conclusion. The
characters that we met in the first Recruits Novel appear in the second but
mostly through only the memories and musing of the Twins. This one is about
refining the skills that make the twins unique. That uniqueness is what is
called for in the current crisis facing our reluctant heroes.
I may be stretching it here, but I can see a possible
connection at some point in the future between this series and the Legends of
the Realm Series. Those who are familiar with both may or may not agree with me.
If true it would be a stroke of genius for Locke to tie them all together with
the Fault Lines series in a way that would connect the ancient past, the
present or near future, and the distant future. I’ll just leave that with the
fans to mull over for a while!
I enjoyed the story immensely. I believe if you are a fan of
good fiction you will as well. Now I can’t wait until the next installment in
this compelling series!
I received a promotional copy of this book from the publisher
in exchange for my honest review.
