Don't Pass Go!
The Alliance hasn’t forgiven the Cs for the Battle of Ambient Kingdom. They have C Mountain Two surrounded by a Skybattleships and have totally cut them off from C reinforcements. Mountain Two is divided within and that divide might lead to civil war, pitting C against C. Worse, the dark has plans in motion to invade Mountain Two and subjugate it. Trapped within the mountain C-3 faces this triple threat with their usual courage and tenacity, but will it be enough?
Yet against this backdrop of despair C-3 trains a new unit. They create a female C-3 unit in Mountain Two’s nursery department. The candidates seem unlikely heroes and the boys quickly realize how hard Risk’s job was with them. Can they make another C-3 unit to help turn the tide or will they fail and create new enemies?
Kitten, aka Princess Zoe First, has been hiding in Mountain Two. With her parents dead she is now an Alliance Queen and that’s a problem. The Cs, who she is hiding among, are at war with the Alliance. Zoe is a wild card, one that could turn the tide for C-3, or bring everything crashing down! As much as Zoe wants to blend into the background, her skills as a sword fighter and pilot make her stand out. Will Zoe be a blessing or a curse to C-3 as they face enemies at every turn?
With so much against C-3 it will take the Master’s grace to see them through this latest challenge!

Author Adrian Essigmann is now on his sixth novel in the C3 Saga and continues to give readers a fast action pace novel filled with deeper theological truths behind them. This novel picks up with the C3s in C-Mountain 2, surrounded by Alliance troops, upset at Cs for events which happened in the previous novel. The mountain is not only surrounded by LIGHT warriors, but inside the mountain tensions begin mount up as the people split up into different factions. The stakes couldn’t be higher, but the young men who form C3 continue to push forward in the Master’s Path.
We are also treated to more details as to what has happened to Zoe First, a character introduced in Falling Ashes: Book One of the Princess of Ashes Series (Volume 1) and it is nice to be able to see her story pick up again. The novel while itself part of a larger narrative, which certainly should be read, is one, which if you’re just hearing about the C-3 saga can be read.
The novel not only introduces us to a group of young women who will form female version of the C-3 Unit and in this way, this novel stands out, among the previous work in devoting more time to female heroes and certainly gives female readers a reason to read this work.
The author continues to tackle various theological themes throughout this work. We continue to see through Six’s and Heavy’s eyes questions surrounding relationships and how to treat the opposite sex in a variety of issues that face teens now. Moreover, we are treated to questions of what is permissible and what is not, issues with legalism and yet striving for holiness. As always, the writer tries hard to presents a variety of different sides to these topics and encourages the reader through the events not simply side with one group, or the other, but to think critically about how it all fits into God’s plan. This work in many ways, highlights the need to take scripture seriously and let it speak for itself, instead of interpretation, which while well meaning can have ominous outcomes.
This is shown most clearly, but the main issue which the novel tackles. Continuing on the themes presented in the previous novel concerning the interaction of different church group with others, the novel focus more inward this time around and focuses on problems which arise within the local body. The various events depicted, while against the backdrop of the C-3 universe present events that sadly happen much too often and the story presents an important truth of what so often happens.
Hopefully, the writer in the following novel will explore not only the aftermath of this particular issue, but deal with the characters response and so provide readers, as he often does, not only with issues that the church faces but also suggestions of dealing with it. This is a topic, which I feel is ever more important to acknowledge and ever more important to give an answer of. Not just to adult readers, but for teens as well.
All in all, “Don’t Pass Go!” is a great read and is one which I would recommend for readers. It is a read I think parents should feel comfortable letting their kids read and it might not be a bad thing for them to read themselves so all the more able to answer questions which might arise. So pick up a couple and see what happens next to Two and the others.
