The Long Journey Home

Across the Lake #2

by Doug Kelly, Andy Weir (co-author)

The Long Journey Home is the sequel to Doug Kelly’s bestselling dystopian novel, Across The Lake. On this final leg of Aton’s adventure, he bent his will in one direction, toward revenge. He wanted vengeance for the injustice done to him and his family.
After Aton’s voyage across the lake, where he survived the horrors of bloody combat, he was through with war and the corruption that accompanied the power of absolute rulers. His hot temper and sharp tongue had almost cost him his head in warlord Grinald’s battle camp, so he fled for his life again, slinking away under cover of night to his hidden boat, and escaped from the merchant city of Acadia with Hauk, a runaway slave. They sailed through strange, unfamiliar sections of the enormous lake, finding the toxic remains of an abandoned American city and ancient relics along the way. Unexpected dangers constantly plagued their journey as they navigated the lake, then they wrecked the boat near a large bay, stranding themselves. They were lost in unfamiliar territory of the dense jungle that surrounded the lake, but Aton knew where to find vengeance for the wrongs committed against him and his family. That place was home, and The Long Journey Home was full of peril and suspense.

Reviews

[Rob]

2.5 stars. Very formulaic story. Redeemed itself at the end with a fairly exciting finish.
