Spectre's Review
Mr. Gear holds this Forbidden Borders world together just nicely. There are very few inconsistencies, and even those are minor. The military action is great. The only problem is I had to take time out to sleep on occasion. It's a long book, and it keeps the pace quite well. Some of the characters in this book are a little scary, and that adds an excellent flavor. I really like the development of the subcultures in the Forbidden Borders. It also leaves some good things open in the end, making you want to read the third book.

Spectre's Rating
Just as good as the first.
