| English: World Scout Jamboree Internet Café (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
In Book 1 of The
Second Internet Café, Dimension Researcher Lucas Hunter encountered the
evil American Dietrich during his trips to the ‘other’ dimensions. What ensued
was an American attack on the Café in an attempt to destroy it – an attack that
Lucas and his friends were able to thwart.
In The Second
Internet Café, Book 2: The Cascade Annihilator, once again must confront
his nemesis Dietrich, who is now armed with a weapon that threatens to not only
destroy the Café, but the entire reality. The Café is again under threat, and
not just from Dietrich, but from the entrenched European bureaucracy that wants
to shut it down, or bring it more under political control. Aiding Lucas in
saving the facility and the existence of ‘reality one’ is Paula Featherstone
who has the ability to enter other realities when she sleeps.
To add complications to their task, Lucas discovers
that another group, more advanced people from yet another ‘reality,’ are also
interested in the outcome of his confrontation with his enemy, but he’s not
sure he can completely trust the enigmatic Mr. Llews.
As in the first book, the action in Book 2 is
nonstop; the characters are unforgettable, and the settings are all too real.
Chris James has changed gears a bit in this book; writing from two points of
view – alternating between Lucas and Paula – he keeps your interest as this
complicated tale unfolds. This is a book
that you won’t be able to put down; in fact, you just might find yourself going
back and re-reading portions to make sure didn’t miss anything.
Another five star effort by author James.
