LACUNA:THE SANDS OF KARATHI is a star better than LACUNA: DEMONS OF THE VOID.  I was totally thrilled that Mr. Adams mixed it up in just the right flavors to make this one a truly great read.  Mr. Adams is becoming one of my favorites....I believe he can become one of yours as well.The fact that we get to meet some interesting new characters really adds to the value of this read, while not taking away from the introduction of new technology that also works to sweeten the mother lode of gold in this story.  It can only get better!I really have no negatives on this one with the exception of the fact that I am still a little distracted by the fact that we still have an OPERATIONS ROOM rather than THE BRIDGE, the crew still use CLIPBOARDS and PENS rather than ELECTONIC DATA PADS, RADIOS/WALKIE/TALKIE/HEADSETS rather than VOICE ACTIVATED COMM (Think Bluetooth for cellphone even)and why do we have HINGED DOORWAYS that require the old fashioned DOOR KNOCK rather than SLIDING DOORS with an ELECTONIC ALERT. I would think that on a starship with JUMP/VOID DRIVE that this would not be too much to ask for!!So...what it really boils down to is this....I am hooked on this series and hate to see it end but I know it is doomed to do so soon. Maybe Mr. Adams can see his way to continue this series after his JUMP DRIVE to stardom as a best selling author and make us SI-FI fans happy!!!  We can but hope!This is truly a great read folks....try it!!
