Reviews

[C.S. Wachter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Once again, Mercury is plunged deep in the well of interdimensional chaos. Another quick, fun read in the Mercury series. I continue to enjoy Mercury's snark balanced by his strength and care, Loridana's sophistication balanced with her fighting abilities, and, most especially, Lieutenant Gabriel Ramos's faith and integrity--as well as the rest of the crew with all their idiosyncrasies. Mysteries and secrets continue to abound. The only reason I rated this a four rather than five star read is, once again, the number of missing words continues to be a problem.

As in the prior novels, the action is well done and complemented nicely by character development. A good, clean, super-hero story with an interspersing of Christian themes. Recommended.
