Original.
Al Sarrantonio was an American horror and science fiction writer, editor and publisher who authored more than 50 books and 90 short stories. He also edited numerous anthologies.
The author Al Sarrantonio surprises with the second book of this trilogy as it gets really good, with amazing unheard of alien creatures and machines. Expected and unexpected twists are awesome and really good.
Beautiful narration by Bruce Donnelly for each of the characters in this creation.
