On the Damned World, its every man for himself. Only its not just mankind who dwells here . . . The Earth of the future is not one youd recognize. Creatures previously thought to be simply myth- vampires, two-legged dragons, abominable snowmen, and nine other races-have overrun the planet and made it their own. Humanity is nearly extinct. But now the Twelve Races have discovered that their own fortunes are inextricably linked with the remnants of the human race. And so one of the last remaining humans, a young slave girl named Jepp (who holds the key to the future of the world), is on her way to a fateful meeting with the most powerful creature on the face of the planet. Except the question isnt what will happen when she gets there . . . but if shes going to make it there alive. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Also, the eBook version had quite a few typography problems. The spacing would go from single to double with no transition, and the font size would change sometimes. It looked unprofessionally produced, which doesn't match what I know of Peter David -- a consummate writer-fo'-life. I hope this was just a blip.
The book continues where it left off, dropping off some characters from the last book and introducing some new ones. The biggest problem is that there are about six storylines going on, and when you've got that many, each one can only develop a little bit before it moves to the next. There's going to be stories that are interesting and ones that aren't, and you've got to wait for those to pass.
Plus it feels like the intrigue and mystery behind the world got explained away in this one, by the simple act of lifting the curtain. And the end didn't really entice me to read on, since it eliminated what seemed to be the primary obstacle. Now I'm not sure what the big goal is.
But I still will read the next one. I still like this universe, I still love the characters. And I want to see what happens next. ( )
