Query: Not as good as the first, but still a nice read

After flying through "Area 51", I was somewhat disappointed that the characters in "Area 51: The Reply" weren't as well developed. I thought the character of Kelly Reynolds was especially flat after such a great introduction in the previous book. I would still recommend this book, it is goot, but I think the author put more thought into the development of the characters in the first book.Now, to the strengths of "Area 51: The Reply". The action sequences of "Area 51: The Reply" were very well done. Definitely Mr. Doherty's forte. I also enjoyed the development of the STAAR conspiracy, and look forward to more of that in the next book.I hope that for the next book, "Area 51: The Mission", we get all the action of "The Reply" combined with the well thought out and detailed characterizations from the original.
