Two dimensions collided on the rust-red deserts of Marsand are destined to become entangled once more in this sequel to the critically acclaimed The Daedalus Incident.
Lieutenant Commander Shaila Jain has been given the assignment of her dreams: The first manned mission to Saturn. But there’s competition and complications when she arrives aboard the survey ship Armstrong. The Chinese are vying for control of the critical moon Titan, and the moon Enceladus may harbor secrets deep under its icy crust. And back on Earth, Project DAEDALUS now seeks to defend against other dimensional incursions. But there are other players interested in opening the door between worlds…and they’re getting impatient.
For Thomas Weatherby, it’s been nineteen years since he was second lieutenant aboard HMS Daedalus. Now captain of the seventy-four-gun Fortitude, Weatherby helps destroy the French fleet at the Nile and must chase an escaped French ship from Egypt to Saturn, home of the enigmatic and increasingly unstable aliens who call themselves the Xan. Meanwhile, in Egypt, alchemist Andrew Finch has ingratiated himself with Napoleon’s forces…and finds the true, horrible reason why the French invaded Egypt in the first place.
The thrilling follow-up to The Daedalus Incident, The Enceladus Crisis continues Martinez’s Daedalus series with a combination of mystery, intrigue, and high adventure spanning two amazing dimensions.

What did you love best about The Enceladus Crisis?
The timeline featuring Weatherby.Who was your favorite character and why?
Weatherby. He was the main focal point for his timeline.What does Bernard Setaro Clark and Kristin Kalbli bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Having the two narrators brought a new level to the story.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No.Any additional comments?
I was very much looking forward to reading The Enceladaus Crisis. Going back to the story of Weatherby and company.For the most part, I wasn't disappointed.
This time around, Martinez decided to have two point of view characters in each timeline.
This slowed things down a bit. Not drastically, but from time to time. You wouldn't get back to the characters you wanted soon enough.
He also introduced some new and interesting characters in the Xan.
This was an interesting alien race and you didn't really get to know them enough.

Before I go on, if you've missed The Daedalus Incident, stop. Do not collect $200. Do not pass go. Head (physically or virtually) directly to your favorite bookstore and get it. I personally recommend the Kindle/Audible combination which I previously reviewed (the narration rocks, see the review for more details). Mr. Martinez actually gives you enough in The Enceladus Crisis to allow you to read it without reading Daedulus, but why? Seriously, go get it or download it now. It's great.
As is my habit, I read this on my Kindle (Paperwhite) and listened to it via the Audible app on my Windows Phone (Nokia Lumia 920). Once again, the narrators, Kristin Kalbli (22nd Cent) and Bernard Clark (18th Cent), do a superb job with all of the different accents of all of the characters. They jump seemlessly between characters and bring a believability to the dialog. If you like audiobooks, I highly commend this one to you.
Michael Martinez's Story That Sails Into Our Heart

However, while the first novel was uniquely charming, the sequel is absolutely astounding. The biggest improvement is in the characters, who in the first novel tended towards archetypes but here finally cement into real people we care for. In particular I tip my hat to the resolution of the particularly obnoxious teenage crush Weatherby and Ann Baker had in the first novel.
The book is, again, not without faults. You quickly find yourself keeping up with four inter-woven plots rather than one whole, and I never felt these distinct stories fully meshed in a satisfactory way. However, each story is fascinating in its own right, so it is very hard to mind. My compliments to Mr. Martinez. Looking forward to the final book coming out soon.
The rare sequel that outperforms its predecessor

In addition, the story is fascinating and one which I can easily share even with the little ones. Im telling everyone about these books, how great they are.
This series gets better and better
