A strong sequel to The Twelve Stones, Skyfire is filled with non-stop action, and characters who are normal people caught up in extraordinary events. Included in this book is a heart-touching life-long love story that will inspire a desire to hug those closest to you.
The story in Skyfire does start immediately after the events of The Twelve Stones, so I'd recommend reading (or rereading) the first book before picking this one up. Both are wonderful books, by a talented author.

Action and adventure galore in Skyfire!
RJ Johnson has done it again with Skyfire, the 2nd book in The Twelve Stones trilogy! Action and adventure galore in discovering new and powerful stones. Alex's strong character leads his friends in the fight to save the world against Kline, an atrocious villain and adversary, who wants to control it for all the wrong reasons. A lightning fast must read filled with excitement as the reader is left pining for more to see what happens to the world at a "Twelve Stones" reunion!

Some might like
I've got to say that some might like having a series of disconnected storylines to read through, I don't. For me this was not enjoyable and I stopped reading early.

A thrilling adventure through space, time, and human relationships continues.
In the second installment of author R.J. Johnson’s Dreamslinger series, Skyfire, new characters encounter new artifacts that appear as mere stones yet convey unimaginable powers to their holders. As in the first book, Dreamslinger, the characters are vital people whose lives are disrupted in different ways by their encounters with the Dreamslinger stones. The main protagonist from the first book, Alex McCray, returns, now possessing two of these stones as does his enemy, billionaire Rupert Kline. But the discovery of two new stones on two separate continents attract both men.
The action comes early and often providing multiple life and death decisions for each of the main characters. Each new stone provides a unique and ever more astounding power to its bearer placing them and innocent (and not so innocent) bystanders in constant peril.
As in its predecessor, the character of each person in this story is instrumental to how the adventure will proceed. They are real, they are flawed, and often one thing on the surface with something unexpected beneath. The author provides us a better understanding of Alex, the dark secret in his past, and his relationship with former love Emily Harper, while introducing rich new characters including an obsessed archeology professor on an exploration to Peru, and a Zambian mining supervisor who loves his family.
There are multiple references to nuclear power in this story, and it is a nice analogy for the power that resides in each of the Dreamslinger stones. Power to do immense good or immense evil. To heal or destroy. And that power is directed not by the personality of the bearer, but by their core values. Values they may not truly recognize until they are provided with the power to do great or horrible things.
Buy this book. Read this book. You will truly benefit from the experience.

I found the beginning of this book somewhat confusing - I had trouble at times tracking all the characters/situations and keeping them straight in my mind. As the book progressed it became easier to track and I enjoyed it more as I went along.
I like the premise of this series and I'm hoping the author can develop it to it's full potential.

RJ Johnson has done it again!
Would it be correct English to say that I devoured this book? I read this immediately on the heels of the first in the series. Super story line and getting better all the time. Just bought the third in the series and can't wait to get started on it. This author has the gift of "grab". His stories grab you and don't let go.
