Great Book

Following a lively and diverse cast of characters, the book takes you through the post apocalyptic world of Rifts. The main characters belonging to the Coalition Army finds itself drawn deep into enemy territory chasing a fugitive holding government secrets. The book is a vast improvement from the Sonic Boom, where the editting was a tremendous downfall. However, the intrigue, guesswork, and action will keep you wondering whats happenning next throughout the whole book! If you like the Rifts theme, then this is the book for you.

Vast improvement

Deception's Web, the second part of Adam Chilson's Rifts triology vastly improves upon the first novel. For one, the editing has improved by a quatuam leap, and although it has a few problems, it's much better than the first.The writing improves as well. The first part is almost a straight action story, and while interesting, it didn't do much to grab the reader's attention. Deception's Web tones down the action and ignites the intrigue. As Lt. Sorenson's party returns to Chi-Town, they are met with court martial and deceit. A traitor is in their mists, and Sorenson's life hangs in the balance. Strange alliances begin to unravel the deception, but there's more to come.The characters are also given a greater chance to develop, allowing for the strange friendship between Van and Darren to come to life, the tensions between other party members, and of course, Kramer, er, Kro-Mar, for the great comic relief.
