This much-anticipated sequel to The Adventures of Harry Stone picks up the story where the first book left off. A high energy sci-fi thriller, the book's cliffhangers will keep you on the edge of your seat. The plot follows the fate of Harry and the gang who have been captured and enslaved by sadistic beings on the alien planet of Glarb. Harry has somehow managed to escape from his sealed coffin, only to be brought down even further underground to join the rebel forces and lead a coup to overthrow the current government and end slavery and torture forever. The thrills are non-stop as Harry and friends face almost insurmountable peril at every turn. Even with help from the magical snurdles and interdimensional beings watching over them, their chances seem slim that all of them will make it out alive. Author Larry Horowitz combines madcap fast-paced adventure with humor, tender scenes, and brilliant action. This hard to put down book will appeal to both sci-fi and adventure fans alike.
