ReCognition: Co-anda 19 Vaccine Part 2
In 2112, dystopia is upon us, and the United Nations Authority is trying to stop energy and technology behemoth GIATCOM from destroying society once and for all. At the vortex of this futuristic struggle is twenty-first-century inventor Dr. Ben Richards, who created a way to harness wind power, a clean and renewable energy that could have changed the course of humanity if he hadn’t died under mysterious circumstances. The UNA determines that keeping Richards alive in 2017 is key to saving the world from becoming a nuclear wasteland. Meanwhile, GIATCOM is using every method at its disposal, including enhanced humans and android doppelgangers, to thwart that effort and capture Richards for its own purposes, setting up an epic battle between future powers in the past.

Mind-blowing!!!
This is the second instalment of the series Reco2gnition and it starts right from where it lefts off in the first part. Dr. Ben Richards was kidnapped by a shape-shifting humanoid, Feng Shui who was sent from the future to kill Dr. Richards. Somehow, he managed to escape from Feng Shui but he has lost his memory temporarily. Another humanoid from the future, Merisi, helps Dr. Richards to escape as well as revive his memory and then sends Dr. Richards to the future. Their goal is to replace nuclear energy with clean and sustainable wind power. Will Dr. Richards survive to achieve his goals or not? You have to read this series to find out.
I enjoyed reading this book as it was loaded with information about climate change, androids, humanoids and SATOR square. The author has brilliantly combined real-life events like covid-19, tsunami and climate change with history, arts and science to create this unputdownable masterpiece. You will love this book if you are a fan of Dan Brown, like me.

RECO2GNITION: CO-ANDA 19 VACCINE is the second book in the recognition series. The first book ends on a cliffhanger, so the second book starts where the first one ends. The author has taken the information and knowledge to another level, but at some points the extensive details are too exhausting. This book has a lot of artistic pictorial representations and intense detailing. Many questions are answered and mysteries are solved as the story unfolds. The book entails environmentalism, time travel, nuclear energy domination, sustainable solutions and operation reset. Dr. Ben Richards travels from 2017 (past) to 2112 (future) to observe the destructions posed by nuclear power plants and to have a better understanding of the importance of wind energy utilisation in the future. Merisi helps Dr. Richards to travel to the future so to replace the future dominance of nuclear power with a sustainable alternative. The author associates Covid-19 with air pollution and how clean wind can help develop a more healthy and clean environment on Earth. I missed Grazia in this part; can’t wait to find out what happens to her and her intimate relationship with Dr. Richards. This book also ends on a cliffhanger just like book one of the series. All in all, it’s a very informative read with lots of suspense and action.

Recognition Co-Anda Vaccine:
The second part focuses on the pandemic and other diseases caused by the pollution and nuclear powerplants. Ben is sent to the future to see how his plans can save the world and use wind as a source of energy which will not cause harm to anyone. Merisi helps Ben a lot throughout his journey and gives him important drawings to understand better but Feng is a huge obstacle in their way.
I enjoyed this part even more than the first one as we came across all these drawings that had a hidden meaning and we got to see what the Sator Square meant and Ben travelled to the future which was an great touch to the story. Feng was again a step ahead and fooled Merisi big time. It was really interesting and fun to read!

The book begins exactly where the first book ended. This book deals with COVID, amongst other things, and takes forward the plot of climate change and how clean energy can save the earth. Dr. Richard, who had escaped from getting assassinated in the previous book, is again in danger. Whether he is ultimately able to save himself or not, he did get to time travel and see what the future beholds.
Looking forward to the final installment in the trilogy.

After the events of book 01 were concluded, this book begins where the last left off. There was a dramatic turn of events from that point. I found reading this book to be fascinating and awe-inspiring because it was filled with details that enhanced the plot development. I find it amazing how well the author researched this book. There was something very real and intriguing about the way Covid-19 was incorporated into the plot. The author included a good point about how clean energy can lead to a healthier environment on Earth. He kept the pace moving throughout the book which was engaging. Through the course of the novel, we solve the mystery of this first book, which primarily deals with themes of nuclear energy dominance, environmentalism, and sustainable solutions. The book concluded on a brilliant cliffhanger. I am eagerly looking forward to reading the third book after reading the first two. I had no idea this series was so interesting. My favorite part of Mark Dowson's book was the way he described his characters. Excellent writing, entertaining, and well-researched. From the very first paragraph, the story intrigues.

I’ve received a digital copy in exchange for a review. Thanks so much Moonlight Booktours for hosting this book tour and for giving me the opportunity to be a part of it!
Co-Anda 19 Vaccine, published in 2021, is the second book in the Reco2gnition trilogy, preceded by Oxygen Debt and followed by Hypno-Xia. Part I ends with a cliffhanger, which adds suspense to the story and, as expected, this is where Part II starts.
I once enjoyed the topics addressed in this book, the alternating timelines as well as the fact that the author combined science fiction with real-life aspects such as environmentalism and climate change.
However, at times the sentences were really, really long and given the complexity of the topics that are addressed in this book, this made following the plot a little difficult. What is more, the information and knowledge provided were very detailed, occasionally even slightly too detailed. To enhance reader friendliness, it would have been better to shorten some of the sentences and to perhaps leave out a few of the very extensive details.

✨the incidents and events of the story continues from the part 1 of the series that includes some background information, that's why it's important to read the first part of the book because The plot thickens as it progresses, incorporating time travel, history, science, environmental activism, and much more.
.
✨In this part Dr.Richard is in hospital and doesn't remember anything facing memory loss and on the other hand Feng desires to learn every next move of Dr.Richard. Part 2 in the series will again takes you to the journey of Dr.Richard and the challenges he faces in the story.part 2 is just as exciting and intriguing like part 1 because of the setting and plot of the book.

Recognition- CO-ANDA 19 vaccine ⭐⭐⭐
This book is the second book of the recognition series and here things start to fall in line and everything makes much more sense. I must say that the author has cleverly written this book with a fast pace that doesn't let the reader feel bored.
This is the reason I finished reading this book in ONE SITTING. you will find an extraordinary concept of time travel, betrayal, twists, tragedy as well as an element of the COVID' 1 in this book.
However the ending was a little confusing, I found it hard to put two and two together but this could be because of the difficult context soo yeah the ending was a little meh for me
Overall the book left me completely thrilled as well as surprised as to how the writer came up with such a complicated yet and interesting plot. So well executed.

After the cliffhanger in Book One, I needed to know more. Book Two picked up right after the prequel and was an enjoyable experience. The various elements and their interconnections were impressive and exciting. I loved the pictorial representation added to the intense detailing. It added so much flair to the plot.
The way Covid-19 was brought into the plot was interesting and felt too real. I liked that the author incorporated how clean energy can help develop a more healthy environment on Earth. The pace set was perfect and made the book an easy pageturner.
Richards is such an adorable and fun character. I literally light up every time he speaks up. He is definitely my favorite of them all. I can't wait to see more of him!
And now I wait for Book Three...

It picks up right after book 1 with Dr. Richards waking up in a hospital facing memory loss. The book continuously keeps a fast pace as Richards is taken to the future after being rescued by Merisi and getting to know the truth about the whole situation. Their goal is to replace the nuclear power in the future by Richards sustainable energy generating invention instead. This series touches important events like covid, tsunami's and other natural occurrences that we are currently facing and the author uses them as a wake up call that our planet is heading towards a similar situation unless we do something about it.
Nonetheless, the books were action packed, the ending was intriguing and I'm eager for the next part.

I expected the first book to be lacking in action because it was setting up the premise. But the second book was equally bland. Everything was so over explained and dragged that I wanted to skip entire pages. Again it would have been fine if the plot sped up instead of new ideas being put in and I didn’t have to read painful arguments to make sense of illogical things ( science fiction doesn’t need to be logical, everything doesn’t need to be explained; you are from the future and that’s explanation enough)
In a plot that was already brimming with over explained non sense and then they also introduced a spirituality twist and lost me as a reader.
DNF!

These books are so thrilling and keep you on the edge, it’s duology and the first book ends on a cliffhanger
It’s Sci-fi but deals with real-life aspects such as how our decisions impact our future and environmentalism
moreover, The storyline is amazing I can’t go in-depth cause I’ll give away too much but it has time traveling (which I love) The character development is also very good
the second book fills the pieces that were left unclear in the first book, it has more details
Covid-19 is also mentioned in it
so it’s very informative and yet entertains the readers
The second book also ends on a cliffhanger
Can’t wait for the third book!!

I'm so glad I read this book. After reading part 1, I was a bit sad because it ended on a cliffhanger but I'm relieved now after reading part 2 and I can't wait for part 3. Author's writing style is simple and he has taken care of the details very intelligently. The descriptions and details are to the point, not too long not too short. Great and educative book. Highly recommend it.

The character development is a highlight, particularly the continued exploration of the multifaceted Grazia, who serves as a capable foil to the more reserved Ben. Dowson expertly weaves in themes of mental health, personal growth, and the human cost of scientific progress, adding nuance and emotional resonance to the thrilling plot.
Whether you're drawn to the cutting-edge science, the mysteries of the past and future, or the well-crafted characters, "ReCo2gnition - Co-anda 19 Vaccine" delivers an engaging and thought-provoking experience that will leave readers eagerly anticipating the next installment in this compelling series.

Thankyou @mbooktours and @reco2gnition again for making me part of recognition series book tour
And the author did it again! He ended the book 2 of the series so mysteriously just like book 1. Now I’m so excited and can’t wait for book 3.
Okay so this book starts from where the story ended in book 1. Now Dr Richards is in Feng’s custody but safe to say that the hero (Merisi) saves him and sends him to 2112. Grazia was missing but before embarking on the future journey Richards and Merisi find Grazia but little do they know that Grazia is actually Feng. Feng travels to future with Richards and ends up in UNA and eventually succeeds in his mission of stealing the ancient artefacts.
The book has a lot of description and covers are the topics and solve all the mysteries. But again it ends on a cliffhanger because all the books in recognition series are related to one another so now anxiously waiting for book 3.
Overall a great book with lots of interesting information.
5/5 stars 🤩

ReCOgnition: Co-anda 19 Vaccine Part 2 starts off from the exact point where the last book ended. In this book, the story takes a turn and we find Dr. Ben Richards in Feng's custody but gladly, Feng isn't able to get much info out of Ben. This part was very scary to me considering that I was scared that Ben will be exploited but he was soon saved by Merisi.
The two then travel to the future and are exposed to everything that went wrong, starting from the issues with nuclear power, the adverse effects on the climate, and other disasters. It was nice how the author tied Covid 19 into the story and related it to air pollution.
We find out why GIATCOM wants Dr. Ben Richards.
We also learn the history behind the Sator Square and its relation with time travel. Pictorial represtations are also used to detail important lessons.
**SPOILER**
But the worst part is that Ben and Merisi are accompanied by Gracia who isn't Gracia but Feng in disguise.
**END OF SPOILER**
The story ends on a cliffhanger and I'm excited to see how it progresses in the next book!

"Self-belief is more powerful than what others think of you.”
Reco2gnition: Co-Anda 19 Vaccine is second book of Recognition trilogy by Mark Dowson. This book begins exactly where first book left off. Doctor Richard Benjamin is faced with challenge to let go of his regrets and past and embrace his new self for the sake of planet. GIATCOM has some hidden motives for Dr. Richards while UNA will do anything to save him and world from becoming a nuclear wasteland.
I enjoyed this one even more than first book. I never thought I'd be loving a sci-fic book this much. Mark Dowson writes beautifully and you start caring for characters immediately. This series is so well researched and creative like author added about Covid-19 in this one? Wow. I loved Merisi's character so much. He was an interesting and witty humanoid. Interpretation of Michelangelo's paintings were impressive. All conversations of Merisi with Dr. Ben were very inspiring. Apart from motivating me, this book was informative, I learned so many things including chaos theory which I liked best. Richard's travel to future and Feng's attempts to fool them were really thrilling. Just like book one of this series, this one also ended on a cliffhanger and I can't wait to read what happens next.

This is part 2 of the Recognition series, and starts right from where the 1st book left off. I liked this one even better than the 1st book. The pace and plot sucks you right in. This reminded me so much of Dan Brown's books. There are mysteries related to famous art works, and the science fiction is very well spinned around the real scientific facts, very informative too!
It was a thrilling ride, with time travelling and global environment concerns at its heart. It also includes present time pandemic into the plot, adding a very nice, realistic touch to it. All the characters are very interesting, and I sure felt like I was part of the adventure. I'm already excited for part 3 of the series 🙌

I am telling you, This part is undownputable!!!!!
The first part ends in a cliffhanger where Richards is in a big trouble.
And part 2 begins with Richards in a hospital. This part revolves around protecting Richards from the sources and organization that don't want to jeopardize their success in Nuclear Power industry.
The best thing about this series is that everything is very descriptive so even one has little knowledge about science and technology, you can easily understand all the stuff.
Moreover the author has made this book so much more relatable by including events such a Covid and tsunami. I really really enjoyed this one.

Merisi, the special agent from the future has now revealed his identity in front of Richards (scientist) and asking him to go to the future and make things work according to plan which is helping mankind.
In this second book of this series, the story is more interesting. The writer has done a great job in writing. The use of real-world events like Corona, Tsunami are really good. The story is full of science and history knowledge which makes it unique.

This part has more prolonging information than in part one and frankly it was more sensational. But again there was a cliffhanger there. I adore how the author wraps all the topics while twirling them into beautiful mystery.

First of all tysm for giving me opportunity to be a part of this tour.

𝔸𝕦𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕣: @dowson308
𝔾𝕖𝕟𝕣𝕖: sci-fic.
ℝ𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕤: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
ℝ𝕖𝕧𝕚𝕖𝕨: RECO2GNITION is a series of 3 books, I've read 2 of them and the 3rd one is expected to be out soon. These two books talks about artificial intelligence, viruses, our planet it's environment and humanoids. Honestly If have to say something about this books then it would be "IT'S A SCI-FIC. THRILLER THAT IS FACTFULL, A FACT BASED FICTION BOOK"
.
One thing that I loved about both of the books, the writing style is so impressive, even the chapter titles are so accurate and complimenting with each other... like something you can sense by turning pages is reality. Both of the books are masterpieces, by every turning page you'll get to know how much research is done before writing it!
.
Book-01 (prologue):"The early-morning sea was unusually calm as she swam gently, just breaking the surface with her glistening hair and shoulders. These moments were precious to her. When she was in the sea, nothing else mattered. She could clear her mind. She was confident in her body’s buoyancy and felt that the sea would always protect her. All was peaceful, almost timeless—until she heard the shrieks.A small child leaped up and down on the water line, arms waving. The frantic cries were high-pitched and desperate. The shore was deserted; only the swimmer witnessed the chaos. The warning cries stopped just as the sky darkened"
.
Excerpt: “That’s true, but please understand that your cause of deathwas recorded as being unexplained. Our historical analysts havehad very little to go on, and the historical record certainly doesnot contain details of what you had for breakfast on the day you were murdered, or of who you were with in the hours leading up to your poisoning. That is why I have been sent here. I have been gathering information and sending it back to our analysts living in 2112"
.
Book 02 (prologue):"The blades rotated rhythmically.
Patiently.
Methodically.
I was at peace. Comfort and reassurance was all around.
Darkness crept over me. Then there was a pale light. The
blades were still there. Always four. One. Two. Three. Four.
An unchanging shape in front of me. Or above me.
The same, regular rotation.
But, what are the blades?
Where are they?
Why are they there?
Suddenly, I feel my entire torso jolt.
He hears the words...“Let her go, she is gone, she is gone."

First of all tysm for giving me opportunity to be a part of this tour.

ℝ𝕖𝕧𝕚𝕖𝕨: RECO2GNITION is a series of 3 books, I've read 2 of them and the 3rd one is expected to be out soon. These two books talks about artificial intelligence, viruses, our planet it's environment and humanoids. Honestly If have to say something about this books then it would be "IT'S A SCI-FIC. THRILLER THAT IS FACTFULL, A FACT BASED FICTION BOOK"
.
One thing that I loved about both of the books, the writing style is so impressive, even the chapter titles are so accurate and complimenting with each other... like something you can sense by turning pages is reality. Both of the books are masterpieces, by every turning page you'll get to know how much research is done before writing it!
.
Book-01 (prologue):"The early-morning sea was unusually calm as she swam gently, just breaking the surface with her glistening hair and shoulders. These moments were precious to her. When she was in the sea, nothing else mattered. She could clear her mind. She was confident in her body’s buoyancy and felt that the sea would always protect her. All was peaceful, almost timeless—until she heard the shrieks.A small child leaped up and down on the water line, arms waving. The frantic cries were high-pitched and desperate. The shore was deserted; only the swimmer witnessed the chaos. The warning cries stopped just as the sky darkened"
.
Excerpt: “That’s true, but please understand that your cause of deathwas recorded as being unexplained. Our historical analysts havehad very little to go on, and the historical record certainly doesnot contain details of what you had for breakfast on the day you were murdered, or of who you were with in the hours leading up to your poisoning. That is why I have been sent here. I have been gathering information and sending it back to our analysts living in 2112"
.
Book 02 (prologue):"The blades rotated rhythmically.
Patiently.
Methodically.
I was at peace. Comfort and reassurance was all around.
Darkness crept over me. Then there was a pale light. The
blades were still there. Always four. One. Two. Three. Four.
An unchanging shape in front of me. Or above me.
The same, regular rotation.
But, what are the blades?
Where are they?
Why are they there?
Suddenly, I feel my entire torso jolt.
He hears the words...“Let her go, she is gone, she is gone."

First of All , Thanks to @mbooktour and @recO2gnition for sending me ebook of this trilogy.
its my First Sci-fi trilogy and enjoyed it alot , its such a amazing way that book aren't only source of entertainment but also information . Its wraps the infro in such spectular way that you are hooked to it and the author did brilliant job in this book.
if you have read the book1 ofc that's why you are here 😂 as you know the book 1 end with a chillhanger Richard found himself stuck in between present and future , choosing to stay low and risk his life for world whose control is in the hands of those who are full of greed, ambitious for power and Don't care for the people.
He had to take a step to go into future to learn the most advanced technique for its own energy production project . He found about the meaning of satore square, Caravaggio illustration , breaking the codes.But unfortunately there are no traces of grazie.
There's my fav part of this book which is the conversation between Richard and merrisi before going into the future
.........................................
passion and belief coming from your spirit, to develop your
ideas. So your ideas will not fully succeed in someone else’s
mind. Let your spirit ascend from the evil that surrounds you
to being renewed through your transformation and newfound
vision to become a reality.”
“Out of suffering you will emerge stronger in character
labelled with scars rather than letters, on your journey of wisdom.
We are all born with souls Dottore, but not all of us know how to
fully embody and integrate our souls into our human experience.
May your continued journey spiritually awake continued unique
ideas and beliefs.”
“So, you mean I will be walking alone on my journey?”
Richards asked.
“Precisely, Dottore!”
“Spiritual ascension also known as spiritual awakening is
a natural evolutionary process which involves the process of
shedding the old self and experiencing an inner rebirth. Out of
suffering have emerged the strongest characters, from scars on
their souls.”
“The truth is that in our modern world, we live ego-centrically
rather than soul centrically. As Saint John wrote a philosophy -
’The Dark Night of the Soul’:
If a man wishes to be sure of the road he’s travelling on,
Then he must close his eyes and travel in the dark.
Traditionally the Dark Night of the Soul refers to the
experience of losing touch with God/Creator and being plunged
into the abyss of Godless emptiness.
At some point, most of us go through a phenomenon known
as the Dark Night of the Soul.
Although we try to run from it, it is still there.
While some of us seek reprieve in religious thoughts, others
of us seek respite in spiritual philosophy or psychology, and
still others seek relief through addiction and mind-numbing
external pursuits.”

[i received an ecopy of this book via @mbooktours on instagram.]
oh, my.
first of all, let me compose myself from the shock of this cliffhanger that i just read. it's just...painful. i wanna know!! i wanna know more. and soon. as soon as can.
*sighs* okay. i hate humans. even more now. the way this book shows the image of the disaster humans have turned of this earth is just beyond disgusting. i know, i've always known it, but it's dangerous, okay? people need to read this book and understand just how dangerous their behavior is to the earth in the present time and how dangerous it can be for our future generations. but anyway, i'm not putting my hope in humans.
anyway.
what i loved in this one is the way the author gets this point across: artificial intelligence cannot (can never) be evolved enough to replace human mind in the high pedestal of leadership. no matter how much it evolves, it will never be able to beat the curious and creative mind of a human. it resonated with me because i'm a firm believer in this idea. a gentle and small reminder of the positive side of humanity. (and: a machine doesn't have a conscience. it never knows the difference between right and wrong.)
this book had more of a storyline than the first one because that one had more technical explanations. (even though the storyline was amazing in that one as well.)
however, this one lacked editing, maybe? like the punctuation and some sentences grammatically were out of place. not that it hindered the reading process, alright? maybe it was an arc, which'd explain that.
overall...loved it. but i had to rush it in a day to prepare the reviews in time for the book tour, so it, like, troubled me a bit? since i'm not very fond of ebooks. it's okay, though. i'm happy i was able to accomplish that!
read it, if you want to know what might happen to our world in the future if we continue to go the way we are.
ps: again, richards is such a beautiful character. he's, what, 34? and he's, like, so...childlike? i don't mean it literally, i just mean to say he had this beautiful desire to save the world and to do something, anything, even if he doesn't get credited for it. he has an air of childlike innocence about him, perhaps. if you know what i mean. i love him. we didn't get to see much of grazia in this one, though. (or maybe we did? if you know what i mean. *winks*)

Thank you Mark Dowson for providing me with the copy of his second book RECO2GNITION CO-ANDA 19 VACCINE. In this part, the events continue from the previous book and tell a bit of background story, so I would suggest reading the previous book of the series first. The story gets more and more interesting as it progresses, entailing time travel, history, science, environmentalism and so much more. So, Dr. Richards wakes up in the hospital and doesn’t remember anything, he suffers from memory loss, although he remembers some of the dreams but he’s unable to figure them out or understand what they mean. Feng is disguised as Grazia and seems like he doesn’t want to kill Dr. Richards anymore, rather he’s interested in knowing the next move Dr. Richards will make. My favourite part is how Merisi helps Dr. Richards recover and the way he cares about him; although Merisi will be seen on and off in the story when his help is required. The author will take you along Dr. Richards time travel journey and the troubles he will face. In both books of the series, Dr. Richards is my favourite character and I don’t like Feng at all because he’s the ‘bad guy’ or the ‘killer’ to be more precise. The author has so intelligently connected and explained the past and the future, the book 2 is as interesting as book 1. You won’t be able to put it down. The book is full of knowledge, facts and the author’s personal experiences and research. Both the books will entertain you and educate you at the same time. I’m so glad I came across this series. I thoroughly, genuinely enjoyed both books and I highly recommend this series. Thank you so much to Mark Dowson for providing me with the opportunity to read his extraordinary work.

"The word impossible is rarely tried and is not something us humans really believe in. It fuels us to greater discoveries and inventions."
- Recognition : co anda 19 vaccine by Mark Dowson
The second part of this series starts from Dr Richards being in a hospital facing memory loss and Feng has taken the shape of grazia to be closer to him and for getting all the information he has in his mind.
Merisi somehow helped richards to get out of hospital and to get his memory back. and than he revealed his true identity, motive and described how brutual has future became, how his actions can create a difference in future. He told him all about a future how everything has turned advance, developed, automatic and how technology will no longer provide betterment for human beings and nature.
The discussions about corona virus and its vaccination to post vaccinations effect, air pollution, bad environment. The sator squares unfolding and the hidden messages containing painting of caravaggio's are too much thought provoking.
and then, finally Richards travelled to future through portal. and he.. he died after some time. as grazia was not grazia with him but a shape shifting android Feng who killed him after he took every idea and details from richards mind through a chip.
The book discuss the history very deeply and how we are destroying this world through our bad actions as we doesn't have much energy resources.
Mark has done a mind blowing story telling about environment, history, earth sciences, climate change art philosophy, time travelling and much more. The past and future descriptions to keep readers intrigued, and pinned to their read.

This is the second instalment of The Reco2gnution series. I was very eager to read this book since I finished the 1st book.
Since Dr Richard was prevented from being assassinated Merisi who is a humanoid and travelled from 2112 to 2017 to prevent Dr Richard's assassination attempt and was successful to prevent it. Now was ordered by his higher-ups to take Dr Richard to the future.
Dr Richard is the first man to time travel and see the future or is he the last who time travelled??
There is Fang who is an android sent to assassinate Dr Richard but failed then he transformed into Grazia who is Dr Richard companion and journalist.
Then there was also mention of the Covid-19 pandemic and the author did a great job to describe the pandemic very realistically.
There are climate change, tsunami, renewable energy and more combination in this series, will Dr Richard be successful to prevent the future to destroy, will he survive in the future are his companion Grazia is none other than Fang disguised as Grazia???
I can't wait to read the 3rd instalment of this series..
