This sequel to the author's modern retelling of Wells's War of the Worlds has the merit of being more original and started really well. However it became largely rather predictable with the usual "peace-loving scientists v warmongering soldiers who want to blow everything up" paradigm. This would be okay if the author had created three dimensional characters, but only the central character, Alex Smith approaches this, the rest being two dimensional cliches. Large parts of this read like a film script; on the plus side, there were some interesting reflections on what a truly alien way of thinking could be like. 3/5 ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Twelve years after the events of Invasion!, Earth prepares to retaliate by mounting an expedition against the Martians. With great difficulty, our Space Force establishes bases on the two Martian moons, and also on the surface of the Red Planet. But a series of firefights demonstrate that the aliens hold the upper hand, and that communication between the species is the only thing that will keep our bases from being exterminated. Alex Smith once again must step forward, and offer himself as part-prisoner, guest, interpreter, guinea pig, negotiator, and--ultimately--the last, best hope of mankind. But finding any consistent and understandable method of communication with a truly alien race is almost impossible. Can the gulf be breached in time? War of Two Worlds, Book Two.
