A continuation of a very good series

The second book is no letdown from the first.  Very enjoyable read. The characters are not quite as developed as I'd hoped in a coup! e of cases but new ones were put more to the fore.  Decent amount of action with a storyline further becoming clear.  Looking forward to the next in the series.

I continue to be impressed with this series, and look forward to the next (of many, hopefully) book in the series.  I continue to enjoy the character builds. Their strengths and weaknesses make the story line both entertaining and engrossing.

This is a great continuation of the series.

It was upsetting to see one of the heroes fall, but it is good to see them back in this book.  The story gets a little richer, but I would have liked a bit more filling out of the story line.

I won't address the author's abilities, but as a reader of the other books in the series a reader already knows the author's abilities.

I really enjoy this series. It's very engaging and fast paced. The science is a character in it's own right. The organic characters are well fleshed out and imaginative. I am anxiously looking forward to the next installment in this series.

Continues to be compelling and very well crafted.

A very good sequel to the first three - very much the same approach, with lots of twists and turns in the plot.  You cannot get too attached to Martin's characters - he is not reluctant to kill off anyone

Book Three of the Yancy Lazarus books continues the pace established by the first two books in the series, and each book is better than the last.  Mr. Hunter's writing is improving with practice, becoming tighter and more descriptive.  He pulls the reader right into the story, so much so that you can see the flames and horrific creatures, or the beauty of a scene or character with equal ease.  None of the characters are stereotypical, cookie-cutter heroes or villains--each is an individual, each has his or her own complexities.  Most are neither fully good or completely evil, an aspect I really enjoyed and that you don't see often enough in fiction.  I especially enjoyed the fact the monsters are not always monsters, and that Yancy is made aware of this.  That, and his troubled conscience, add a great deal of depth to the series.

My only complaint with this book is that there isn't another to follow it.  Yet. I'll be watching for it.

The second book in the Sentinel Series picks up right where the previous novel leaves off. The good news is that unlike some trilogies that die off in the middle, this series keeps the plot development and action running strong with the characters learning new things about their "Powers" and being placed in some inventive situations. The story leaves off with less of a cliffhanger than the previous book which will likely require a bit of a jumpstart to get going in the following novel.

The only thing I felt held the book back was a few hiccups in the copy editing with a punctuation error and an awkward sentence or two.

If you enjoyed the first entry, you will not be disappointed.

This book is the 6th in series. The story, style and skill continue to grow. It is an engaging continuation of this world. I look forward to the next book.

A marvelous continuation of a great series.  The rise-and-fall of the principle characters and twists of fate are brilliant and engaging.  For the Dungeons and Dragons fan, this series has a brilliant take on the whole idea of a "Lawful Evil" church in ascendancy, and a "Lawful Good" church in decline.  It's a wonderful story woven across all four books.  I highly recommend them all.

This book was very enjoyable, but, after reading the first eight books in this series, I have the feeling that I've already read the best of the series.  This book is wonderfully well-written, as have been all of the books in this series so far, and there is no shortage of the wit and humor that O'Brian is famous for.  There are a couple of problems with this book, however.  First (and this will be a problem for all of the rest of this series as well) there is the problem of time.  In the previous book in this series, O'Brian stopped giving us real historical events that would allow us to know exactly what period of time the events in the books are taking place in.  The reason is obvious; by the time the events in this book have taken place, the war would be very nearly over (I figure late 1814 at the earliest) and there is still another ten books or so in this series before the war ends.  The other problem with this book is that nothing very exciting happens until about two-thirds of the way through this book.  In the last third of the book, Jack is given a special mission that requires diplomacy as well as fighting ability, and even Jack knows that diplomacy is not his strong suit.  There is a great plot twist towards the end of this book worthy of a good mystery novel which leads to a fantastic ending.  Everything comes together at the end of this book, and it gives the reader a good reward for persevering through the earlier slow parts.  I will certainly continue reading this series, although I don't think the later books will quite equal his early masterpieces.

I really enjoy this series. The characters continue to grow, the story line is always very good and I especially enjoy the humor.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and thought that it was as satisfying as the first part in this series. New characters serve to help the action along; they are appealing and interesting. However, I thought that some characters, such as Mervion and Martin Stalker, should have had more attention payed to them. I eagerly await Reimann's third part to this series. There remain many questions to be answered.

What a great series.  They keep getting better, and this one did NOT disappoint.
