Directly after the events of White River Calling, Sam realizes that a huge plasma wave ejected by the Sun is approaching Earth, and will hit with devastating effect. While scouting down south, Nick and Jake run into the town of Alexandria. They notice the citizens are kept prisoner, and witness an escape. They capture the escapee, which they take to White River to gather information. They learn that Alexandria is occupied by a rogue general that treats the people like slaves. When General Jacobs calls on White River to return the prisoner, Frank refuses. Before Sam can deal with the threat of the plasma wave, he has to deal with General Jacobs, who is set to wipe White River from the face of the planet. Will White River survive the latest onslaught? The answers are contained in the pages of this gripping novel. Review by author, Schalk Jacobs: I really enjoyed the story that was presented. Though the reader is nowhere nearer to Sam's history than before, a few crucial clues were given. This creates interest to the point of obsession in some readers (me being one). The additional characters of Pedro and Gina assist in making the story stronger, and have allowed clues to Sam's past, as well as other characteristics. Sam, the protagonist, grows in this book, and the reader manages to bond even more with him. So in closing, a very good book. The author managed to hold the reader's attention throughout all the chapters. So the rating of 6 out 6 is justly deserved for the book as a whole. Congrats, as I, for one, am hooked and can't wait for the next one in the series. Review by author, Curtis Hatch: I have thoroughly enjoyed it, and I hope there will be a part three. You have succeeded in drawing me into the story and holding me there throughout each chapter. The characters have become real in my mind's eye, and at the end, I feel I am moving far away from old friends with no way to stay in touch.
