Book Reviews of Skin Game (Dark Angel)
Book Review: A fun return to post-Pulse Seattle
Summary: 3 Stars
Okay, nobody is going to confuse this with great literature, but for fans of the short-lived television series, this book should provide a satisfying trip back to the Dark Angel world. This story is essentially a sequel to the final episode of the series, and tells us the story of the showdown between Max (and the other transgenics) and Ames White, renegade NSA agent and member of a secret conclave dedicated to erradicating the transgenics. As the tensions between the two groups build, Max and her friends must find out if a transgenic is behind a string of gruesome murders, as reported, before they are used as an excuse to slaughter the transgenics.
This was a very fast read, and fans of the show will find the characterizations true to the on-screen depictions. For a television tie-in novel, this book actually tackles some moderately heavy themes of discrimination and ways of comping with it. Even so, this book never gets too weighted down with moral ambiguity, and provides an entertaining return to the post-Pulse Seattle of the series.
Summary of Skin Game (Dark Angel)
The saga of Dark Angel continues!Someone is killing normal humans in the fog-enshrouded city of Seattle. The murders are brutal and grisly, but inside Terminal City they barely cause a ripple of concern. The transgenics who live there have problems of their own. In an area under siege by the oppressive arm of the police, the transgenics must protect their fledgling colony against the outside world-a world that eyes them with contempt and suspicion . . . and will do anything to be rid of them.
As the killings escalate, Joshua comes to Max with a dire suspicion: the killer may be one of their own. Tensions are high between normal humans and transgenics, and many inside the protected City would just as soon let the humans fend for themselves. Yet Max and her inner circle know they must investigate the crimes and stop the bloodshed. Doing nothing would simply give the normals more reasons to hate.
But what they discover will shock even the most jaded among them-and expose a sinister agenda that leads to an old, nefarious foe. . . .
