The heartbreak and sorrow of Orchid’s world has never been so palpable as it is when General China’s story is finally revealed. And as shocking and tragic as it is, it isn’t his alone. Orchid, Yehzu and Simon’s rescuer is much more than she first appears to be, but she may not be the savior they need.

Anzio’s execution still lies on the horizon, and they still don’t have a plan to save him. The world is a dire place, especially when it’s full of bears with scorpion stingers.

I adore this storyline, each new element makes the story more vivid. The action took a bit of a backseat this time, so that the story telling could shine. Morello’s imaginative take on the future, has a Mad Max and Lost World feel. This should be in your must read pile.

As always to check out a preview head over to Dark horse.
