CATCH THE LIGHTNING

The continuation of the Skolian Empire series features a young Californian girl who befriends a representative from a parallel universe who has stumbled briefly into her world. Anna Fields creates clear pictures of a variety of characters with a range of motives, including “bionic” humans and computers whose artificial intelligence gives them more personality than some of the people. She moves easily between them, at the same time giving them distinct voices. Once again, Fields brings her formidable narration skills to a story of adventure and political intrigue.
