Rating: 4.5/5
Mae and John thought Terry died when the Ortego building was destroyed. Mae gets the opportunity to go back to the site a few years later, having convinced the brass that she wants to recover some of the technology. She really wants to find out what happened to Terry. John, who is in the military, comes to join her where she and her team are camping. Will they be able to find out what happened to Terry before the project gets shut down?
Meanwhile, on an unknown planet, Terry is struggling daily to survive. He is in an alien place with alien food, plants, and wildlife. He discovers the ruins of some sort of civilization, but no people. He wonders if variant killed this planet as well. Will he be able to survive this place? Will he ever have any hope of getting home?
The sections in this book about Terry's adventures on the unknown world were what made this book phenomenal. The author did a great job of creating an alien world with its own unique elements.
I was less impressed with the sections about Mae and John. In particular, they are supposed to be dating, but we don't get to see any romance or much of anything between them. They are almost the same as in the first book. Mae just has more authority and training. Their tireless efforts to get to the anomaly in the basement of the Ortego building are important, but they are not as exciting as what is going on with Terry. It's still an excellent book!
