This is really turning in to a thrilling story. I know. That sounds odd from a Terry Moore book. I mean usually there's so much character development and interaction in his stories that they would seem to fall under the soap-opera banner. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing. Part of what I love about his books are how much you come to care about the characters. And, on top of everything else, he always brings that to every issue. But, because of the situation of the characters in this story . . . we're starting to get some 'adventure' going on here. Everything revolves around Annie Trotter and Julie. Julie's the girl who gave up her life in the first issue so that all of this could happen. She was the one that wore the 'beta-suit', and was test flying it over Moon Lake when they shot her down. Which is when Annie became part of the story. She became the recipient of the suit. This issue another character gets introduced to us, which I think is going to become friends, at least, with Annie . . . Dillon, Julie's boyfriend. He doesn't know what happened to Julie . . and nobodies telling him anything. So he takes it on his own to do some investigating. That's when he runs into Annie, almost literally, out at Moon Lake. She's there because that's where this all started. He's there because he knows Julie was doing some kind of testing there, and there was a recent explosion. He's trying to figure out how it's all connected. However . . since it was the recent sight of a military accident . . they are also there. They confront the trespassers . . Annie and Dillon . . separately, they haven't really met yet. But when they start confronting Annie, the results are . . . shocking . . nay, explosive. Which is how this issue ends. I think this was another brilliant installment by Terry. We really progressed with the story this issue, and I love these cliff-hanger endings.
