Sample Chapters: http://webscriptions.net/chapters/067...

The sequel is pretty much as good as the first. It contains a new point of view character, Zeb, who was Harris' mentor on old earth. There is a plot to kidnap Doc, and teams are dispersed on both worlds, in case he is at Harris' wedding. This is where Zeb becomes entangled in the mess, and goes back with them to the Fair World.

The story this time, continuing the theme that history is somewhat parallel, but the Fair World is only in the '30s, is one analogous to the 1936 Olympics. Zeb, while not quite Jesse Owens is, however, basically a 21st century ex-military unarmed combat master. A bit of an advantage.

He also discovers he has a thing for one of Doc's associates.

Harris and Gaby are by this time highly competent members of the Sidhe foundation, and Harris has taken on a leading role, replacing one of the fallen in the first book.

Entangled in all this, again, is Doc's family, the 'royalty' of a pommi-like place. Not too good, son a super villain, brother basically a nazi, mother rather duplicitous.

So, Olympic competition, a nazi style plot, and a bunch of Beagle boy type gangsters.

Another helping of pulp adventure and urban fantasy, and a fine one.
