Publisher's Summary:

The Traanskei Coalition's greatest weapon is the Q bomb, and after years of failure, the Democracy has come up with a defense against it. The problem is that they killed most of the team that created it. The sole survivor, Edgar Nmumba, was kidnapped by the Coalition. Only Nmumba can duplicate the work fast enough to prevent the loss of another dozen populated planets. Nathan Pretorius and his team of Dead Enders will require all their skills and cunning to rescue him, sane and in one piece, from the Coalition's best-hidden and best-guarded prison, somewhere in the Antares sector. But in a game of cross and double-cross, can they find him before it's too late?

Another Fine Action Adventure From Resnick!

This is the second in Resnick's excellent new action-adventure series, "The Dead Enders".

I very much enjoyed the first book in this series and snapped this one up the minute I saw it was available. Like the first we are presented with the team and an Impossible Mission, which they then set off to accomplish. This time it's to rescue...or kill if necessary....the one Man who can build a defense against the Antarean Q Bomb. As they race against time to get him out before he is broken by his captors they visit a famous brothel, accidentally jump 60 millions years into the past through an unstable wormhole, and steal about a half dozen space ships (they spend a LOT of time and energy stealing the right ship for the job, it seems).

Overall I enjoyed the book quite a bit though I thought that they accomplished this *particular* task a bit too easily. For reason I can't go into for fear of spoilers then end up breaking into the prison TWICE, and it would seem to me that it would have been a HECK of a lot harder (if not impossible) the second time. I was a bit annoyed at how the last couple of chapters came together because of this, though I still considered it to be a fine book.

Highly recommended if you're a fan of Resnick's or just like good, clean action fun. Not quite as good as the first in the series but you won't be disappointed either.

Another Nice Caper Story

Another nice "caper" story of this super team of highly-specialized people, with the same brilliant leader from "The Fortress in Antares," who plays them like chess pieces. This time the stakes are even higher - billions of lives are at stake - and so is Pretorius's reputation for always bring back his team alive, even as he greets many situations with his stock "I'm working on it" response. There are a few small changes to the personnel, but it's mostly the same team from before, given a seemingly impossible task.

cant wait for the next one

extremely well written keeps you captivated through out the story cant wait for the next one in the series

These books are worth 99 cent at the most

If you have read one book in this series, you have read them all.

If you are of grammar school age, these are the books for you.

A grown man should be ashamed to be caught reading one of this books.

Do I need to say more!

Professional writing that's not aimed too high

âThe Prison in Antaresâ (Pyr, $18, 279 pages) is an old-fashioned novel of hard-to-believe derring-do.
