Children's Literature - Natalie Gurr
Will and Elliott are trapped below, with little hope of returning to the surface. Will is happy to accept this turn of events but Elliott is anxious. Along with a small group of plague survivors, they stumble across an ancient secret that could change everything. Meanwhile, back on the surface, the Styx and their unyielding army of Armagi are seeking the total destruction of Earth. Jiggs and Drake are fighting the odds, and Chester is learning disturbing truths. As the action builds, lives will change and the Earth will never be the same. This is the sixth book in the lengthy “Tunnels” series, and Gordon and Williams are finally trying to wrap up their epic science fiction tale of digging, madness, and giant insects. This book carries on in the tradition of its predecessors by perplexing readers with incredulous plot twists and exaggerated scenarios. Readers who have followed the series from the beginning will be the only ones who will appreciate this novel and follow its baffling turns. This series is not recommended for younger readers due to its extreme violence, multitude of disturbing situations, and lack of empathy among the characters. Reviewer: Natalie Gurr; Ages 12 to adult.Kirkus Reviews
2013-10-01It's been a long perilous journey since Will first discovered the underground world ruled by arachnid/human creatures five volumes ago. Opening where Spiral (2012) left off, all inhabitants of the inner world have been wiped out by a deadly virus. But as Will and Elliott explore the carnage, they discover a few survivors and are able to concoct a vaccine. Meanwhile, Topsoil infrastructure is devastated as the Styx, still in hot pursuit of world dominion, use humans as fleshy hatcheries overseen by Alex, the evil Styx matriarch. As the surviving core characters of the series begin a journey that will converge in London, half-breed Elliott is mysteriously guided by her inner Styx to "the tower" and a scepter that seem to be the key to it all. As the fate of the entire world rests in Elliott's powerful hands, the origins of the Styx and the true nature of Earth are revealed. The plot is propelled by military-style action, science-fiction extravagance and a dollop of current politics to keep things real, all spliced together in rapid-fire chapters. Though the excitement is irresistible, it's best to have some experience with the series. (Several pages of prologue provide background on the previous volumes.) Relayed at top-speed, this smart tale has a grand ending that delivers the goods; fans will be captivated and gratified. (Science fiction. 10-14)
