Drohung im Dunkeln

Plague Wars #5

by David VanDyke, Frank Dietz (Translator)

Drohung im Dunkeln ist das neueste Buch in der Seuchenkriege Serie, das zwischen Apokalypse in Austin und Die Dämonen-Seuchen angesiedelt ist.

Skull muss einen Freund finden, der plötzlich verschwunden ist. Als Spookys Familie in ein Todeslager geschickt wird, plant er eine selbstmörderische Rettungsmission, die nur Reaper anführen kann. Die von den Unionisten kontrollierten USA befinden sich in einem schwierigen Krieg mit dem rebellischen Staat Alaska, geraten zunehmend in Konflikt mit Kanada und mischen sich in die inneren Angelegenheiten Mexikos ein, während sie immer mehr einem schrecklichen Pfad in Richtung Faschismus, Tyrannei und Völkermord folgen. Vor einem Hintergrund von Politik, Attentaten und Propaganda findet ein verzweifeltes Rennen gegen die Zeit statt, um Hunderte von Edens zu retten, die tief im Inneren Amerikas gefangen sind.

Reviews

[Julian White · Rating 4 out of 5]

Following the surrender of Texas the attention of the US turns to Alaska. The Union Party consolidates its power, forcing the President and Vice-President to resign; their replacements are staunch Union members. The Free Communities do what they can to aid Eden under threat.

Two plot threads intersect - Larry Nightingale on a clandestine mission in Europe is captured and Cassandra manages to get Alan denham involved in tracing him. Meanwhile Spooky becomes personally involved when members of his family are incarcerated in the US. Jill Repeth reluctantly agrees to lead her team on a rescue mission.

This might easily have become the 'mixture as before' but manages to avoid that pitfall, while advancing the personal lives of some of the regular cast.

This brings to a close the first sequence of books - the next deals with the reason the Eden virus exists in the first place... (At least judging from the new tagline.)

Still hanging in there

Read this one in a few hours. Nice being retired. Looking forward to the next one. Don't like the word mini.um.

Thoroughly enjoyed this and the following series.

Another great book in the Plague War series. Jill Rapeth (Reaper) and Skull are back in action and Reapers Rangers go on a rescue mission.. More intirgue than action in this one but a great read and a good fleshing out of the universe -- the world is changing with factions for and against Edens and that is impacting relationships and loyalties.
