not Lee's best move perhaps, and the point where i was beginning to fear author implosion.įortunately Paige, Bethany and Travis hitting the road in search of answers was way more enjoyable, particularly when they find out they are looking for nothing less than another breach. This was arguably another problem with the book because Tangent was nearly wiped out in each previous book too. Then Travis got back to real time just as someone drops a bunkerbuster on Bordertown and pretty much wipes Tangent right out. At a point where the other two books were already flying, i didn't think Lee choose well by having his protagonist go back in time and be a kid for 100 pages or so. Paige's use of this leads to some shocking stuff.
Lee does a nice job of building the wtf, especially by using a new Breach entity, the Tap. you'll be soooOOoooorry.Īfter the initial rush of bombing the Pres', things simmer on the whole 'Scalar' mystery.
I got a totally unexpected great sci fi book that turned a lot of what we thought we knew of the first two books sideways. There IS action, and the tension is there, but there's less running and more exposition and, well. And then holydragonfucknuts did i just READ THAT nuts.Īnd what makes that all the more impressive is that very little of the truly awesome parts of this book are the kind of action cliffhangers that made the first two so much fun to read. and then a bit past the halfway mark things go nuts. At certain points i was really worried that Lee had lost his mojo. But compared to the breakneck pace of BREACH and GHOST COUNTRY, the far slower and generally less eventful first half of this book is almost (almost. I mean, after the president gets a missile dropped on him that is.
ĭEEP SKY is a slower book than the previous two. i'll throw in some general comments and then block the spoilers.
