The Prophecy Con – Patrick Weekes

This book has the same madcap dash through time that the first book in the series had. Loch’s crew is fresh off saving the world when another crisis is thrown at them – this time it’s a stolen book, at the same time the neighboring Empire just might throw its undead army at the Republic.

It turns out there’s also some wider forces at work, with the missing Ancients possibly manufacturing a return to this world that they left many centuries ago.

I think my biggest impression of this book is “fast paced”. The whole thing felt like a dead run. There are some fun character moments – the interactions are what I enjoyed in the last book – but maybe not as many in this story.  It’s been a while since I read the last book though, so it’s hard for me to tell.  I guess my main lesson here is that I need to try and read books in series closer together.
