Reactions and Reviews
This sequel to The Forever Night (which see) reveals that the world Above has been destroyed by some combination of chemical and nuclear weapons-the “Judgment Day” foreseen in the Terminator movies, complete with John Connor (mentioned but unseen) beginning to rally survivors in NY. However, no connection is made between C and Sarah Connor, so things aren't too confusing. Jamie, trapped by collapsing masonry Above, is rescued, but apparently suffering from radiation sickness the tunnel community has no means of treating. There's suspense when a carryover character from Forever Night threatens to reveal the tunnels to Connor's contingent but is stopped by a surprising returnee. Other series characters surface...but not all survive. V/C's love, however, endures. This suspenseful, well written conclusion to this catastrophic disruption of tunnel life will entertain its readers. Some art by Barb Gipson. [1]
