A Chain Across The Dawn by Drew Williams
is the sequel to The
Stars Are Now Unclaimed. While the first book focused more on Jane,
this book focuses more on Esa and is set three years later when she is Jane’s
partner. Together they work as a team to rescue gifted children.
Their latest rescue involves a Wulf (think
wolf alien) boy named Sho who is being hunted by an unstoppable monster with
advanced technology and no regard for humor or alien life. The creature may have
the answers to how to undo the pulse, but there are two major problems with trying
to find out. He is absolutely insane and incredibly powerful. He is killing
everything in his path and won’t stop until he kills them and Sho.
This book is just as amazing as the first
book, but instead of a space military war type story this is a chase thriller
book. This book is full of humor, action, character development, deep
discussions about life, and two awesome new characters that quickly grow on the
reader. The new characters are just as interesting as the returning characters
and just as different. The villain in this book is just as nuanced as The Pax. This
book and the series is complicated and very engrossing as the pages fly by.
This book ends with a bang that sets up
the third book called The Firmament of Flame which I am on hold
for at the library. I eagerly await the third book in this amazing series. One
should definitely read this series in order as the first book is a huge
influence on the sequel.
