Trapped

Chronicles of White World #2

by M. Terry Green

Volcano in sight, Thirteen is closer than ever to finding her sister. The immense Pacifica Ice Sheet and wrecked slaver ships lay behind her. But in front waits an obstacle unlike any she has seen.

A giant rupture in the plateau separates her from her goal. Though she’s desperate to traverse it, even in the damaged skimmer, her only ally is not so willing. With his daughter at his side, Cord is cautious, and that costs time. While slavers hunt her, prophets track her, and Skulls wait for their chance, time is one thing Thirteen doesn’t have.

Driven to reclaim family and her name, she won’t stop now. Though she and Cord have learned trust, it will take more than that to survive. As hidden pasts overtake them and push them to the brink, they find that the deeper the secret, the deadlier.

About the author

Hi, I’m Terry.

Personally: My husband and I live in Los Angeles and we’ve both lived in California all our lives. The only way I can summarize my personal life succinctly is to tell you that we stopped being two separate people decades ago. Our natural and usual state is happy, upbeat, and quiet.

Professionally: I write full-time and have for the last several years. My non-fiction, under a different name to dispel confusion, has been published by Simon & Schuster and Penguin and my articles have appeared in the NY Times and Cosmopolitan, among others. I have a Ph.D. in archaeology but a B.S. in physics.

Sardonically: Writing about yourself in the third person would be a great way to create an exemplary bio, but that’s not why I’m here. Although I’m healthy, the number of days that I have left to live is finite (real mortality estimate). With that in mind, I’m considering how best to use those days–and I am writing.

Trapped (Chronicles of White World 2) - M. Terry Green M. Terry Green turns in another fine effort in this second book of her Chronicles of White World.As Trapped begins, we are back on the Pacifica Ice Sheet with Thirteen and her castaway crew: Cord and his young daughter, Miyu. Thirteen can see her goal on the horizon -- Volcano Helado, where she last saw her sister -- but an impossibly long rift in the ice sits between her crippled skimmer and her goal. Chased by slavers who want to put an end to Thirteen's attacks on their trade, she and Cord debate whether to chance crossing the chasm at an ice bridge. The bridge seems stable enough until Thirteen sends a probe into it to check its thickness. The next thing they know, all three of them are sliding under the ice and into a mysterious colony that resembles the Hotel California in one respect: you can never leave. But if anybody can get them out, it's Thirteen.Some middle-of-the-series books suffer from being nothing but a bridge between the beginning and the final volume. But Green is the kind of storyteller who knows how to keep things moving. We still don't know a lot about Thirteen's past, and Cord is more of a mystery man at the end of this book than ever. But I'm confident all will be explained in the final volume -- which I'm very much looking forward to.

This one was very interesting. I got to see a new side to each of the characters this time.

Thirteen - she will always be a total bad ass. But this time we got to see a little softer side to her. The way she has taken to Miyu is really sweet. In this book we see just how far she will go for those she considers hers.

Miyu - She is smart, determined, and I just want to protect her from all the awful things in her world. The interactions between her and Thirteen brought a lot of heart and feeling to this book.

Cord - He is one tough guy. He is still a mystery that I would love to crack. He shows tenderness one moment, and kick ass the next.

The three of them find themselves in new and dangerous situations. It takes a lot of skill, bravery, and intelligence to make it through. It is a definate must read.

The second instalment of the White World series. A giant crevasse stands between Thirteen and her goal, and she's growing impatient. But neither she or Cord is expecting what they discover on the ice. Ends on a major cliffhanger, so hopefully it won't be too long to wait for the next one!
