The planet of Abydos is free, free to have chaos, free to have gun smugglers and free to have infighting among the farmers, the city folk and the caravans. They also have the freedom to mistrust the men of Earth and right when you think things can't get worse Hathor renews her conquest with a weapon so powerful that the very planet's existance is in danger.
Will O'Neil be able to fight off her attacks? Will Jackson be able to fight off her advances? Will Skaara end up the new leader of his people?
This second book in the series is interesting but NOT a stand alone book. I suggest you read the first one before this one.

The book is very good, especially when the action is happening. The author did a very good job building the "picture" for the reader. Even though setting the stage is important, the use of politics of was over done. The other item that I found distracting was the lingo that the Natives used at time (It was 100% American born) The natives would have had thier own style and would not have unterstood or used some of the text use in thier speech. You saying, well there was english teachers on the planet. Well if anyone has lived overseas they will know that people even when they do know english, the lingo is not there. Nit picking, but I found it as a distraction in the book on many occasions, especially when you wrap it in with politics.

The first half of the book is just a bit slow and sometimes not believable, the second portion was VERY good.

This book continues where Retaliation left off and continues this series. If you liked the first book then you will like this one.
