… and I love it! Continuing the pattern of bouncing between past-Chicago and present-day non-space, Thomas paints with a broad brush in this follow-up to the first installment of his Desperate To Escape series. Ineeka and the rest of the crew of the NISS are still in limbo. Slowly but surely, though, she begins to parse out what may or may not have happened to all of them. At least, she thinks she is, and so does the reader -- until about the last few pages. After those, any expectations I had for what was to come were as good as tossed out into empty space. That edge-of-your-seat quality is what I like most about this series; some books benefit from giving the reader a little extra insight into what might be coming down the pipe. This is not one of those, and in this context it's so much the better for it. Well done, Thomas! Bring on part three!
