Reviews

[Dan Barbier · Rating 5 out of 5]

The sequel to Surviving Origin part one picks up right after the end of its predecessor. This story has a lot of revelations about the Tangury and Verhoeven’s plan. It is action packed with daring set pieces and bravery. It is fast paced and races to a satisfying conclusion to this part of Cyrus Cooper’s adventure. It has everything a big budget blockbuster needs. Can’t wait to see what other escapades, author Weaver will bring to this series.

[Wenzel Roessler · Rating 5 out of 5]

Exceptional dialogue in this non-stop action series. Thankfully, some of the questions are answered, but new ones are begging for the next installment. I like the science in this book too. And any story that has your hero throwing up is a good one.
