pjonsson's review against another edition
4.0
Hughes & Co are continuing their struggles to rebuild Earth. Not only are they transferring willing people from the badlands but now they also have Eternals among them. Of course with more people comes more problems and soon disaster strikes.
Again this book leads us down a path of mystery, danger and, of course, action. Who are trying to sabotage everything? With the Eternals being considered as the eternal bad guys (pun intended) they are of course soon finding themselves suspects in these latest unfortunate events. But are they really the culprits?
The events that follow not only gets the adrenaline running in Hughes as well as his friends but also advances the story and makes the restoration of Earth enter a new phase. Unfortunately they also learn that the Eternals as well as the Union and Sarkonians are the least of their problems.
It’s a good book in the series. I very much like the characters, their interactions, the various mysteries and the plot twists which are interesting without being totally outrageous and far fetched. The action is good and the story advances well and in interesting directions.
I don’t have much to complain about except that I really get frustrated by ignorant statements like “The creation of a fusion reactor has only ever been attempted twice, and both times resulted in disaster.” which is like total nonsense given that there are multiple fusion project already today. He also goes on to say that the failed experiments caused huge explosions taking out half of planets which is even more ignorant given how a fusion reactor operates.
Apart from that blunder I quite enjoyed this book.
