3.0 out of 5 stars For Better and for worse, June 26, 2004

By	J. Michael Shepherd "isomeraser" (Oregon) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The second book of Robert Charrette's 'Secrets of Power' series is better than the first novel. He weaves several sub-plots into an at least semi-coherent whole, but many of the flaws present in his first book are present in this as well.

There are few characters for the reader to really identify with. His 'hero' Sam Verner is a whiney, pedantic, and obtuse. He possesses few character traits that lead you to care about him, but we are forced to follow him nevertheless.

If you enjoyed the first book, or are a fan of shadowrun then you will love this. The concept is interesting, and the writing style is adequate, if not particularly memorable. The reading level for this book (as with his other two) seems to be about seventh grade level. If you are seeking a deep, meaninful novel that makes you think, then I suggest that you pass this one by. Otherwise dig in. It is a nice 'mindless' read that I pull out from time to time when I don't want to tackle anything more compelling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exelent!, May 17, 1999

By A Customer

This book has to be one of the best I've read since I finished the previous book in the seiries. An interesting plot (though all the threads do not join together at the end) and good characters. All around a good book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A tale of betrayal and awakenings., February 2, 1998

By	[e-mail] "telekawaru" (Amherst, Ohio) - See all my reviews

The second book in the Secrets of Power trilogy. In this book, the main character (Sam Verner) learns the true fate of his sister, and struggles to find out more. He begins to lose trust in even his closest friends. Read the book to find out more. An entrancing novel. Again I find myself lost in the writings of Robert N. Charrette.
