Großartiger zweiter Teil, der den Weg für das große Finale ebnet. Ich bin immer wieder überrascht, wie perfekt die beiden Autoren Fremdenfeindlichkeit und Islamophobia im Transfer auf den Punkt bringen. Das ist eine der Trek-artigsten Romanreihen des Franchise, bei dem sich Titan und co. Eine Scheibe abschneiden sollten.

I am quite disappointed in this novel, more so because I enjoyed the first one so much. Almost every time I picked it up I began to fall asleep. I was bored by the plot that seemed to be doing nothing and the new characters that I liked so much in book one seemed to be doing very little. The last 40 or so pages pick up and introduce something interesting so I have high hopes for book three.

I expected so much more from Humberg and Perplies.
They can write such engaging, uplifting and POSITIVE adventures for kids, why can't they use their skill for adults, too? Instead they write about yet another looming war, terror, hatred,... Really interchangeable both with dozens of other Trek novels and hundreds of non-Trek SciFi.
Really, they are among my favourite authors because their children's books are just what I want adult books to be like in tone and themes. But suddenly they write for adults and... Just lose everything that makes their writing special?
Sorry, I couldn't follow any longer. Another one and a half book only about hatred and terror, with nothing fun and not all that much character interactions and psychological stuff to at least give me a character to fall and love with and keep on for their sake? It just got very very boring as what other people deem action or suspense just doesn't cause any emotions whatsoever in my brain.

Wenn ich noch einmal hören muss, wie romantisch Paris ist, dann bekomme ich Pickel.

This story is so many things and it is effortlessly achieved. I didn't love the new characters very much in the first book but they've all grown on me now and just like in the first, this book brings in a few more surprising familiar characters.
What wasn't a surprise for me was guessing the actual "root" of all rage, I'm not sure if it's going to be über obvious to all readers but the hints are there. I'm pretty sure I was onto it during the first book.
The most poignant elements for me related to the various convictions that individual characters hold. The emotive context is handled extremely well and especially so in the epilogue which powerfully portrays the traps of fanaticism.
