Adventurous Flights- Desert Wolf

Dark Prospects #2

by Nan Pai San Shu

In 1960s, as the first batch of geological exploration, we were secretly mobilized into a geological engineering team. Not knowing the destination, the place and the reason, we came to a virgin forest on the verge of our country. Suffering from anxiety and death threat, we watched a confidential movie which shocked us--the information beamed back by the seismic wave clearly showed that the crust of 1200 meters underground was embedded in a Japanese heavy bomber. It's a conspiracy or a supernatural force? With confusion and courage, we go into the strata, which, however, ended up with indefinable results.

I really enjoyed reading this. Some readers have mentioned many loose ends, but asides from the bit about the lights, everything seemed to fit together quite well, without being too much of a stretch. If you can believe that you can fly a plane in a large abyss underground anyway (and if you don't, why bother picking up this book after the first?). And time travel. I think it was really fun guessing what would come next as I read the book, and the author has dropped many hints along the way, although not enough to come to a conclusion. I couldn't put the book down.

Ok, first book I finished in 2025 :) Overall I liked the book, maybe a bit slower than the first but I am still a bit frustrated. The friendship between Wand Sichuan and Engineer Wu is a bit brushed over I think, so many things remain unexplained, maybe I'm just not seeing the hints that the author left but I feel like so many aspects of the story were just left undeveloped.

I liked the 'suspense' or he need to know more which was good but the need to know more about the characters I think cold have gone further.

I liked it but it is still at the 'potential' level on many things. Don't get me wrong though I did enjoy the read but it was not my favourite.

This was almost as good as the first part. Again you just needed to find out what was going to happen on the next page.

Has some rough spots, but will capture your imagination

to flow with a story, thinking how it has drawn you in, beware of the ending, you will probably write your own.
