The heart-pounding sequel to The Lighthouse Land

Jamie O'Neill is back on Earth, where no one but his best friend Ramsay knows he's the hero of a great war that saved an alien nation. Now he's back to being a kid with one arm, no girlfriend, and a band that plays bad songs about intergalactic romance. Then news breaks on the Internet: a space probe has picked up a coded message from far across the galaxy. NASA's best scientists can't figure out what it says. Only Jamie and Ramsay realize it's a message from Altair. They're needed again.

This thrilling sequel to The Lighthouse Land is packed with even more adventure, battles, and humor than its predecessor, and it secures Adrian McKinty's place as one of science fiction's most exciting voices.

      The middle book in McKinty's trilogy offers both a new villain and heart-pounding action. Jamie O'Neill; his science-whiz sidekick, Ramsay; and Ramsay's brother, Brian, have returned to Ireland when they receive another message from their desperate friends on the soon-to-be-frozen planet Altair. They must face wormhole travel, warfare, and treachery to assist the Altairans, especially the girl Jamie left behind, Wishaway. Jamie's decisions may be complicated by love, but his leadership has matured since his previous adventures, and Gerard Doyle gives his voice a new confidence. Doyle's tone of cold fury as the Witch Queen of Balanmanik chills the calmest listener. As the story leads to a climax of epic proportions, Doyle's pacing keeps the listener on pins and needles.
