To Well and Back

The Deep Dark Well #2

by Doug Dandridge

Pandora Latham is back. It is two years after the events in The Deep Dark Well, and the Nation of Humanity has sent a force to destroy their enemies, the Kingdom of Surya's, presence in the Supersystem. The Nation has the ships and the plan, and the horrific continuation of the plan, the extermination of all aliens in the systems orbiting the black hole. Pandora puts her own plans on hold for the advancement of the cultures around the systems, and comes to the aid of the Suryans. But she may have taken on more than she can handle, and Watcher must come to her rescue, leaving the Donut, the space station around the hole, for the first time in over a thousand years.
The pair confront true evil, as only the perversion of a loving religion into a hate filled creed can be. The Nation should have known better than to challenge the pair in their backyard. Now it is time for the Nation of Humanity to pay.

Reviews

[Fred Hughes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pandora Latham just can't resist kicking butt in the second installment of this series.

She has superior equipment and she is jumping at the chance to kick some butt.

The target of her wrath is the Nation of Humanity that believe only humans were meant to live in the galaxy and anyone else needs to be deleted immediately.

With technology they stole from the donut they feel they can again jump into the super system and steal more technology.

Unfortunately the zealots who comprise the Nation of Humanity do figure out how to defeat Pandora and she is soon captured and tortured.

Watcher who is the super soldier in charge of the donut, and Pandora's lover, is soon on a quest to rescue her.

Lots of action in this second book.
