I love this series. To be honest, I love this more than a certain more well known book series that got made into a T.V. show from George R.R. Martin. I don't understand why the other reviews are so harsh on this book in particular. I realize it didn't have that pulp fiction vignette quality the first book had, as the stories were all integrated to a larger story arc. But that's what I loved about it. The story as a whole felt like an R rated version of the DC shows on the CW doing a massive cross over event mashed up with Doctor Who (because, I'm sorry but Doctor Tachyon is totally based on the Third Doctor from Doctor Who. And if any of these writers are liars) mashed up with some Love craft Country (Even though I know this came long before Love craft Country) This book is far from perfect. There's time of homophobia, sexism and racism happening here. But I'm sure the authors must realize this by now, as these were more simple, MTV times back then. No one said Aces were Woke in the 80s. Also, the writing still ventured off slightly in the amateurish grade at moments. But this was a vast improvement than the first book, and gauging from the chapter sample at the end, the third book even better. Of course George R.R. Martin's story about the turtle is the absolute best. But that's to be expected. The Turtle and GRRM rule! Anyway, if you crave that Heavy Metal comic vibe in prose form, this series in the jam.
