I read the first volume in this series a couple of months ago, and enjoyed it; the second keeps up the pace, with a well-realised set of characters stealing a giant nuclear-powered battle robot from its resting place in Bombay and bringing it towards its destiny in the Algerian desert; meanwhile the baby born at the end of the previous volume has a very mysterious mark on its forehead which seems linked with the mysterious intrusion into our reality from another world. This volume is a little middle book-y as we travel from start to conclusion of the trilogy (in a giant killer robot floating westward over the Indian Ocean), but the pace is kept up very well. The third and final volume comes out next month, and I'm looking forward to it.… (altro)

First, I loved the artwork. The panels were well rendered and a pleasure to read through. The story line in part was same old same old. The human race is violent, suicidal and selfish. Contrasting what lots of books describe and even illustrate with the rescuing civilization. The planet that sent the rescuers, I can see that the author tried to create a totally different civilization, how they think, what was important to them, etc. In contrast to humans. The artwork reflected a civilization technologies as being very un-human like in contrast with human machines and AIs..

I loved this book. The graphics were superb, the story line interesting and engaging.

I did receive this book as an advance reader in return for an honest review.… (altro)
