The Broken Places

The authors help us to learn much about the inner minds of the crew of the Andromeda Ascendant and a future 3 millennium hence in book 2 of the series. The preface of each chapter stirs the imagination and colors the remainder of that chapter. There are two main themes to this book that intertwine in a stunning conclusion.

As with the TV series, this book goes to the brink of total annihilation. Due to the nature of the media, we see here, however, not just a single tightrope with destruction waiting below, but two. Both plots could have been written as stand alone stories and been good, but together they weave a stunning tapestry that seems as ageless as the universe and as relevant as the dichotomy of everyday life.
