A longtime sci-fi fan, I enjoy reading new authors and delving into the worlds they create. 'Dark Sector' is the second book in the Reclaimer series, taking the reader deeper into the world of The Crucible.
Picking up from book 1, hero Gabriel Rivera finds himself lost in the desert, alone and abandoned. Survival is his first priority. What follows seemed to me at times to be a cross between Mad Max and Stephen King's Dark Tower opus, with exciting desert action sequences that I enjoyed.
Escaping the badlands is only the start of Gabriel's problems. The plot becomes ever more complex, as does telling friend from foe among the large and sometimes confusing cast of characters.
I liked the author's inventive world building and fast-paced action sequences, blending various influences. Sci-fi fans should enjoy this latest work, and look forward to the next installment in the series.
