Pandora's Children

The Pandora's Trilogy #2

by Kathryn Lance

Many centuries into the future, the planet earth has been torn apart by the ideals of two great powers that will never be able to resolve their differences. On one side are the Traders, who are fanatically against all of the teachings of science. On the other side are those who follow the Principal, a brilliant leader possessing the scientific knowledge of the human race. Evvy, the most beautiful woman on earth, finds herself in the middle of the struggle between the two factions that rule the planet. On the morning of her marriage to the Principal, she is kidnapped by the Traders to be a sacrifice they hope will purify the world. In order to rescue her, the warrior who loves her will journey through the most dangerous realms of a chaotic and fragmented world where a secretly treacherous force is determined to destroy all who stand in opposition!

The fanatical anti-science Traders kidnap Evvy, the beautiful bride of the Principal, brilliant leader of the last citadel of technology, and Zach, the Principal's faithful courier, attempts to rescue Evvy

[Traci Otte · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great continuation of Pandora's Genes. I recommend reading that first before reading this one.

There are new foes and dangers for Zach, Evvy, and Will the Principal in this book, and I was hardly able to put the book down because I just HAD to know who was doing what to whom. There were twists and turns and surprises that kept me guessing the whole way through. As soon as I finished I started the third and final book, Pandora's Promise, because I just wasn't willing to leave this world.

I continue to wish I had a fox-cat like Evvy's Baby. The depth of her understanding of what the humans need (sometimes even before they need it) and what they explain that they will need makes my cats look as smart as bricks. My Clinchfield doesn't even grasp the "Get off the table!" concept. Baby would not only stay off the table, but would make sure everyone else would stay off, too.
