I received this ARC book for free through Goodreads First Reads.

OMG! The book was fantastic! A lot of the time the sequel isn't quite as good as the original, but this is the exception that breaks the rule!

The intrigue gets deeper and the stakes get higher in this amazing sequel. Tom has to face the executives of the sponsoring companies to get backing to become CAMCO.

The danger lines blur as Tom faces greater threats than ever before.

I loved it! It was by far one of the best sequels i've read. It holds itself against stagnation of characters and plot line. It continues from the first with not much time between. Characters grow and change as the plot line darkens and becomes even more complex.

I can't say enough of how good it was.

As it was an uncorrected proof, my friend (who read them before me and made me even more excited to read them) found a couple of typos, but I figure that most of them will be caught.

I can't wait for the next book. Need the next book now! Thank you, Ms. Kincaid, for an fabulous series. (But I am upset at what happened to the MC.)

Beyond the impossible.

So we pick up with Tom on a break from training and he's 15 now. This kid has some issues. He is into himself now and is quick to anger and hold a grudge....sounds like stuck up teenager. Tom as a character is not developing in a good. He just dosent quit with not listening to authority. His lack of having a solid figure in his life is the problem. I wouldn't call his Dad or Mom a presence.
Well the first book was good but I don't feel like finishing.

3.5 stars. I got a bit nervous as this started up. Tom wasn't at school, he was with his dad and it just had a different feel from where the last book left off. Happily though, Tom returned to school, with Vic and Yuri and his battles with Medusa.

A few twists and turns ... I do plan on continuing on with the next (final) book.

Audio edition again. Still love the accents!
