Book 2 immediately rushes into the drama right where we left off. Over the first few chapters our characters split into various response teams and we begin to meet and face up to those who are responsible, eventually even turning their own strengths against them.
The situation with Dr. Marcus remains somewhat mysterious although in moments of clarity she begins to realise that she has been deluded. The link between these delusions and those being experienced by others in the story is gradually revealed but things take a rather bizarre turn when the moss-people arrive. This had me recalling pictures of the plant-man-thing from the original Quatermass Experiment and I loved the classic scifi feel.
"I'm a barber, not a security officer". Everybody's favourite Bolian, Mot shines brightly in this story, playing a role every bit as important as maintaining hairstyles but possibly a little more heroic than what he is used to.
The Klingons are written well and aren't just bruisers, they're out on a mission and fulfilling an important piece of the story.
There are some big wins in book 2 but the threat remains and may even be increasing.

Still reads like a poorly written fan fic. Not sure what the third book will be since this one wrapped up most of the first.

Satisfying conclusion, I suppose. Too bad they had to make book 3...
