Citadel Trilogy #2
Paths in Darkness: Citadel, Volume 2
Against all odds, on an unchartered world, the souls of First Colony have been restored to life, and a centuries-old wrong has been righted - sort of. On the planet's surface, a young woman struggles to reclaim her mind from the strange aftereffects of the cancellation wave. High above, the struggling colony's last hope of going home slowly falls from orbit, and two men face death to prevent it. And as the human colonists and their Esool captain struggle for survival, a new species emerges that can be the colony's savior - or its most dangerous enemy. As if it needs more.

About the author
Kevin Tumlinson
73 books210 followersKevin Tumlinson is a thriller and speculative fiction author traveling the U.S. with his wife, an RV, a chihuahua named Mini, and a fully-loaded laptop. He writes multi-million-dollar blockbusters that can be read for only a few bucks.
Kevin grew up in Wild Peach Texas—an actual village wedged between the Brazos and San Bernard Rivers, with a population of less than 2,500 people and seemingly not a peach tree within a hundred miles of the place. He has had an eclectic career that includes engineering, teaching, broadcasting and media, and marketing. He has also been the recipient of numerous awards for writing, public speaking, and his work in advertising and marketing.
At the moment, Kevin—along with his wife and his dog—are traveling full-time in an RV, exploring the US as Kevin writes and promotes his books. The inside joke is that they are going on the worlds most far-ranging house hunt. They're only half joking.

More science fiction as story than the first in the series. Interesting idea, but the execution doesn't work for me. The impact of Alan's change is those out of stasis! Huh???!!!
The sub-plot with the actor is simply implausible. Don't know why it is included other then to fill pages.

Well, the “in the future autism is rare because we cured it” line almost made me put the book down.
Also the mustache twirling villain. Before it seemed like everyone was just people doing what they thought was right, but this guy cranked the evil slider all the way to the right.

The whole energy-being thing just did not do it for me.

Scifi at it's finest
I find the story is good enough to keep me reading even though I am not a sci-fi fan. The story line, characters, and plot pull you in and keep you reading.

I tried this author and I was really pleased with what I have read, not only is he as description as a S. King novel but his imagination was reminiscent of a D. Koontz adventure. There are plenty of intertwined details that are versed in an educated manner that I found awesome. So many times I have tried books that were written in such a way that I was able to read the series in a day. With Mr. Tumlinson I found myself actually reading slower so I could fully appreciate where the adventurous characters were going. I wanted to know what would happen to them and I wasn't disappointed. This was a great series and I actually took four days to read it. I hope you enjoy the series as much as I do, the value is great and I think there was maybe two crammed errors that were very minor. As much as I read that is extremely rare to find!

Another brilliant book
Kevin Tumlinson has outdone himself with this series so far. It is one of the best I have read. All the devious plot twists and the good emerging from it is something only an artist could weave. I can't wait to read book.3 to find out how it ends. I feel it will be spectacular.

Most interesting
Very well written and very much a story that is great to follow and even to contemplate as you digest each little twist and turn. A feast for the imagination.
