Review: Quite a Ride!

In reviewing the first book of the trilogy, I said that the "magic" of the technology was so powerful that it did not allow much of a challenge to the main characters. In the second book, this is corrected by presenting huge and overpowering problems to the characters and to the world itself. Without spoiling the plot, suffice it to say that civilization itself is in jeopardy through most of this book. It is definitely an exciting story.A key part of any sci-fi story is the requirement that the reader "suspend disbelief" long enough to get involved in the plot. Both of these books require that you believe that the fate of the world could truly be totally in the hands of just a few people who have amazing capabilities and psychic powers. For those willing to make that leap of faith, the author provides a rewarding and high-velocity ride through disasters and the struggle to overcome them.I am looking forward to reading the third book in the series.
