5.0 out of 5 stars Will leave you breathless., January 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Second Skin (Paperback)

Outstanding. Lustbader excels himslef with this, the sixth of the Nicholas Linnear novels. I have followed his work since the release of "The Ninja" and haven't been able to put his books down.

Second Skin takes Nicholas on a journey which will almost see him lose his entire corporate empire, to almost losing his re-found childhood love, to discovering the other secrets within him as a result of him being Tanjian. In typical Lustbader fashion, the story switches from the past to the present providing the necessary historical content that brings him to the point in his life that we read about as we progress through the book.

The great thing about Second Skin also is that it fills in many of the gaps that were left in "Kaisho" and "The Floating City"

If you enjoyed those two, you will be embraced by Second Skin.

My most sincere congratulations to Mr Lustbader on magnificent book. I have alreasy read it 3 times. I only hope and pray there is a seventh Linnear novel.

This review is from: SECOND SKIN (Hardcover)

This is the sixth and final installment of Lustbader's saga of Nick Linnear. On the plus side it does clear up all the loose ends that were left hanging in the previous five volumes. However the main problem is the final battle scene. After five books, each over 500 pages long, the final battle between Nick and his ultimate antagonist only last a page and a half! I felt that Lustbader was working his way up to a real no holds barred fight but just sort of sizzled in the end. An overall great series and overall a good ending if you discount the brevity of the final fight.
