Although the writing suffers from
excessive description, this second book of the Glass House trilogy entertainingly blends science and myth to create an adventurous action story.
Sinister California billionaire
Morgan Steele, with the help of a
team of top scientists and backing
from a mysterious group called the Nine, is building the top-secret Vox
Dei. Morgan seems to have nominal approval for his project from the
government, but there's something shadowy to his plan.
Physicist Andromeda "Andi" Jones wants to find her sister, Sam, who's
gone missing in Australia. Steele,
Andi's ex-flame, has important clues
to Sam's whereabouts, so the physicist reluctantly joins his team, hoping
to learn more.
When the authors focus on the action, the pacing picks up, but
over-the-top descriptions create an atmosphere more melodramatic
than scary. Andi's an intriguing
character, but the romantic subplot
with Marc feels thin and contrived.
Their banter has no warmth, and like other sections of the book, is too often full of excess information. (Jun., 220 pp., $22.00)
