Sasha sets her scientific mind to understanding their new world.\u00a0 Lord Quinn wants to kill everything he can.\u00a0 Toby just wants to help Sasha find Dr. Ulysses and survive.\u00a0 They all want to get back home.<\/p>\n<p>This is the well-written prose that I expect from Ms. Koehler.\u00a0 The descriptions are complete enough to get you into the environment without being overdone.\u00a0 There is plenty of action and conflict, both of the physical and emotional kinds.\u00a0 The characters are well thought out and their distinct personalities continue to drive the story forward.\u00a0 The character development is very good as the relationships between the three main characters gets more complicated. \u00a0\u00a0Other works I have read from her are\u00a0<i>Slayer<\/i>,\u00a0<i>The Blackburn and Scarletti Mysteries, Volumes I &amp; II,\u00a0 Scarabus, The Dreadful Doctor Faust,<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<i>Planet of Dinosaurs: The Sasha Strange Chronicles.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>Recommended for adult readers.<\/p>\n<p>Contains: Adult situations, Gore<\/p>\n<p>Reviewed by:\u00a0 Aaron Fletcher<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>K.
