This is Book 2 of the 'Race is On' Series.
While this book is nearly 100 pages longer than Leap (Book 1), Green Ray still manages to cram in a lot!
The cover is, again, very eye-catching with this cover being in green and found it intriguing. The Blurb too really pulls you in.
One massive positive to these books so far is that while there are multiple POVs and you do feel like you're jumping around characters, the chapters are short, so you don't feel like you are overwhelmed.
The story picks up with Uma who is an extremely strong and resilient Scientist (great to see such a powerful female main character) having been traumatised by the events of Leap, she is now trying to safeguard Leap to stop it getting into the wrong hands while also ultimately trying to safeguard the environment and battling her own problems like panic attacks etc.
Of course, in Book 2, the US Government has heard of Leap, and they want it, so we are now introduced to the political world!
This is once again action-packed with old and also new faces popping up!
Ad always, OC Heaton throws in lots of theory, ethical quandrums, and philosophical thoughts, which shows how much effort he must have put in to consider all eventualities of Leap. He must have spent hours meticulously researching so that while this is just a story... the scientific theory behind it is plausible to the reader!
Something new to add is the religious elements, which add a whole new layer to the overall story!
This book is medium paced in that it doesn't overwhelm you with a bombardment of information but is fast-paced and furious enough to keep the interest of the reader.
I can't say too much more otherwise it will spoil the book, but once again, I highly recommend it!
