Book Review Tuesday

The first book I finished this year is Prometheus and the Dragon by Eric Michael Craig. This book is the sequel to Stormhaven Rising. In this one, the meteor Antu is approaching and various groups are building colonies of the moon for as many people as possible. The U.S. and China have different approaches for dealing with Antu - to destroy it or deflect it. Neither works. There are threats on Earth, too, from those opposed to the colonies.

This is a fast-paced story, made even more frenetic by the frequent changes in scene. To accommodate the large cast of characters, Craig lists them all at the beginning of the story. Some stand out more than others as the action moves along. It's exciting with high tension throughout. The writing is crisp and clean.
