This was a pretty decent follow-up to the first book in this series. Where the first book was pretty much world building and info dumping, THE INVISIBLE THRONG really expanded on Peeters world.

We see Verloc and the others begin to explore Ona(ji) and all its desolation. Until it’s not. Until its vibrant and alive with extremely strange plant life and creatures. This planet can send it’s thanks to AAMA, which we also find out a lot more about.

It’s a substance that can rewrite itself into creatures/plants/technology, and it’s rewritten itself so incredibly, that the researchers are terrified, and they should be.


Peeters has done another decent job with the writing and driving this story forward. I’m definitely intrigued where aama is going to go next.

And then there is his art. The world Peeters has visually created, namely the bizzaro new planet life on Ona(ji) is strange, stunning, and mindblowing. Even if the writing wasn’t as good as it is, I’d come back to this story for the art alone.
