Two brief notes:1. No spoilers, though it is difficult to avoid them ...2. I do not agree with the description of the book. It's not "a blend of Ray Bradbury and Philip K. Dick" and "a conspiracy so deep (...)" is not the main subject of this novel. Thoroughly enjoyable direct sequel to Beyond the Veil of Stars, which had Cornell Novak and his UFO-[re]searching father as the main characters, while this second novel stars his girlfriend Porsche, a member of the Few, with the Novaks simply trailing along.While the main narrative continues the story from the first book, parts of it take place during Porsche's past, usually when it contributes to the story. Some places Reed describes (like the highly advanced ape culture in giant trees) are very intriguing.I thoroughly hope there will be a third novel in this series. Though the story lines are resolved in a satisfactory manner, there is a lot more mileage in this one.
What do You think about Beneath The Gated Sky (1998)?
