Book Description: Elite Psy-Comm Mark Leit is now a fugitive on the run. He has turned his back on the life that once provided him with fame and privilege. He has left behind the corp-state he served, as well as his partner and friend, David Jerold. But Electromedia Corp. wants this embarrassing incident controlled, and David just wants his friend back...whether it be dead or alive."Someone needs to make this into a feature film. This one is too good to pass up. If you like your Sci-Fi, make it a priority." â€"Play Magazine"Henderson and Salvaggio have a great story on their hands here, a commentary on corporations, the media, war, and relationships, all wrapped in an interesting action manga with a driving plot and compelling characters." â€"Ain't It Cool News
O.K...just O.K.: The first book in the series asked a lot of provoking questions about a country infatuated with war and reality television; these questions fall flat in the second installment. While the series certainly keeps its action, it just isn't as though-provoking or even interesting. It is like a generic popcorn movie flick. The ending sets up for a promising third installment that may be good enough to forgive this in between work, but I'm not holding my breath.
Great Sequel!!!: I really enjoyed the first one, but Volume 2 is much more action packed. Also it feels like more happens in this volume and I know and care about the characters much more. The art is a bit different from the first but equally excellent. There are some great action sequences in there that I could see in a movie for sure. And I definitely want to know how this can possibly work out for Mark and Snow.
A good read: I liked book two better than book one. Since there are no new characters to introduce with new backstory, this flows a lot better, with a tighter story. Artwork is great. Plenty of action.
