The first in this series intertwines two main storylines. The first focuses on Cindy, a girl who grew up in the Tunnels and always took photos of the world Above for her 'big brother Vincent,' and her return to the Tunnels when she learns she is losing her sight The second story focuses on Diana and Vincent's growing love for each other and all they must overcome to make it a reality.[1]
Reactions and Reviews: Issue 1
In this 4th season novel, a tunnel-raised girl, now a photographer, returns when she learns she's going blind. Vincent stops denying his love for Diana. Good psychology, characterization.[2]
Issue 2
Images 2 is subtitled, "A Whisper of Hope... An Echo of Despair" and was published in April 1991 and contains 147 pages.
The artist is Molly George.
Second in a series exploring the relationship (sexual and otherwise) between Vincent and Diana has Diana blaming the growing bond with Vincent for her sudden mental instability. Interesting premise and fascinating new character, Robert Wills. Contains questionable scene where Vincent and Diana lose themselves in their passion on Catherine's grave.[3]
Reactions and Reviews: Issue 2
The two is Images 2 subtitled “A Whisper of Hope...An Echo of Despair” by Debbie Hicks. In this R-rated “Fourth Season” novel, Vincent and Diana have become lovers...and it’s driving Diana crazy! Or something is. Could it be the cold-blooded research scientist, involved in a murder Diana’s investigating, who keeps finding occasions to surreptitiously slap onto Diana’s skin patches of an experimental drug that produces despair? Diana blames her spiraling depression on the empathic rapport developing between herself and Vincent. Whatever the cause, Diana’s surely not feeling good about it! A new character, Diana’s boss, Robert Wills, is (unintentionally, Ms. Hicks tells me) charmingly reminiscent of the main character in the TV series “The Equalizer.” And he’s also in love with Diana! It's not a cheery story, but suspenseful, with good psychology and good insight into, and portrayal of, the characters. The few brief instances of sex are restrained, appropriate, and well written. More good reading to check out. 4/5 stars. [4]
In this first-rate 4th season novel, an unscrupulous reasearcher trying to find the perfect murder weapon secretly experiments on Diana with a despair-inducing drug; Diana blames her state on the bond growing between herself and Vincent. Some sex, not graphically described. Not cheerful, but powerful and insightful; vivid new character Robert Wills, Diana's boss (also in love with her!), is (charmingly; unintentionally) reminiscent of Robert McCall of The Equalizer. Very good reading.[5]
