Taken aboard Wake, Navee proves irresistible to its powers. Her resistance to being mind-read, her feistiness and indomitable character make her a popular new guest at increasingly higher echelons. In this volume, she undergoes training for special missions and does so with flying colors. But when she turns down the advances of a prominent official smitten with her, dangerous backstabbing politicking puts her in grave danger.

Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
COMENTARIO/REVIEWS Buchet's artwork consistently impresses; his somewhat cartoony, detail-filled style draws on European and American influences. The draftsmanship's neat, precise quality and vibrant coloring, and the book's large size, which allows 10 or 12 panels to fit easily on a page, help the story move briskly. –Publisher’s Weekly Buchet's art is so colorful, clean, and visually arresting that it is easy to overlook the complexity of the world created by writer Morvan. It is not all original; one can easily spot anime derivations in the art, and the Wake concept has existed at least since Ursula K. Le Guin's Left Hand of Darkness (Walker, 1969). These influences merely enhance enjoyment, as there is still plenty of creativity. The bright, vibrant art contrasts with the somber and timely subject matter. Naïve Navee is a perfect foil to examine social and political issues, and she is used to full effect. –Voya
The artwork is vibrant, lush, and often meticulous in its representation of the intricacies of Navee's world. . . fun, thoughtful science fiction.. –School Library Journal
The art is gorgeous, filled with incredible detail. Wake is sci-fi action-adventure done right, with beautiful art and entertaining, complex stories. Check it out. –Slushfactory.com
Grade: A. Gives readers their money`s worth by packing in the plot and saturating their worlds with color and detail. Succeeds in making a strong impression. –Oliver Chin, Comics Buyers Guide
Philippe Buchet's artwork is instantly captivating, a hybrid of manga and traditional European styles that allows for hyper-detailed backgrounds and very expressive characterization. . . an exciting, very entertaining sci-fi adventure. –Cinescape
