Having saved the world from the sinister Warlord, Esro Brachis wanted nothing more than to relax and work on his wondrous suit of armor. But then the superpower-adapting robot attacked...And alien soldiers landed in his back yard...And a strange force hurtled him across the galaxy, with only a beautiful alien starship officer at his side. Come to think of it, the whole situation actually might not be so bad - if only she didn't want to kill him!
Continuing the saga following the momentous events of Sentinels When Strikes the Warlord, the second Sentinels volume brings more action, more adventure, new enemies and allies, and a cosmic-time-travel leap across the galaxy!

I absolutely loved Van Allen Plexico's first Sentinels book, When Strikes The Warlord. So much, in fact, that once I finished, I immediately bought the second book, A Distant Star. These two books, along with Apocalypse Rising, form the first Sentinels trilogy, "The Grand Design."In this volume, we see the return of the Sentinels -- Lyn Li/Pulsar, Ultraa, Esro Brachis and Vanadium. We also see the return of the enemy from the first book, the Warlord, albeit in a different form. There are a succession of Warlords, and every time one dies another takes his place, and it's all part of something known as the Grand Design. Where this leads to is still something of a mystery that I assume will be the focus of the third book.
The Sentinels' universe also expands with this book, with the introduction of the Kur-Bai, an alien race coming to Earth in order to eliminate the Xorex, a planet-destroying entity that served as the master of Kabaraak from the previous volume. Upon landing on Earth, one of the Kur-Bai, a warrior named Mondrian, and Esro get swept off on an adventure of their own in space, going up against Mondrian's former shipmate in a Barsoomian setting.
There's a lot of jumping around in this book as the Sentinels are seemingly pulled apart in all directions. Ultraa is injured, Pulsar has family issues, Vanadium appears to be corrupted, and the government is prepared to cut their support for the Sentinels, especially with Esro missing. All the while, the Warlord is scheming, but it's really Esro and Mondrian's story that serve as the most interesting set-pieces here.
Where Plexico succeeds is in his characters, once more. Mondrian is every bit as intriguing and fascinating as the characters introduced in the previous volume. Her interaction with Esro is a joy to read and Esro himself steps up to the plate, becoming a much more central character than he was in the previous book. It could be said that When Strikes The Warlord was more Pulsar's story and in that case, A Distant Star is definitely Esro's. There's a grandness to this book, a sense of a larger universe outside of Earth. I know that there were aliens in the first, but this one feels more like a space opera.
That being said, one of the strengths of A Distant Star, of it feeling like a part of something greater, can also be considered a shortcoming, depending on your point of view. When Strikes The Warlord can easily be viewed as a stand-alone tale, but with A Distant Star, there's a lot of set-up for Apocalypse Rising and you know there's something else coming.
Apocalypse Rising is a book I will be reading in the very near future. So far, Plexico has not disappointed with his superhero epic, and I'm looking forward to an epic conclusion of this trilogy!

Sentinels A Distant Star The Sentinels Volume 2 (Audible Audio Edition) Van Allen Plexico Pete Milan White Rocket Entertainment Books Reviews
Sentinels - Book Two A Distant Star is a fantastic sequel to the first Sentinel's novel, When Strikes the Warlord. If you can envision a mixture of the Marvel Avengers - year one, and Babylon 5, you will have some idea of what this book holds for you. More is learned about the intrepid heroes and the nasty villains, and this book introduces an even larger cast of supporting characters. A Distant Star has space travel, cosmic conflicts and tons of action and humor. Plexico's writing style has improved even more from the first book and I look forward to reading the third novel, Apocalypse Rising.
This is the second in Van Allen Plexico's over-the-top trilogy. After finishing the first, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this second chapter and it was well worth that wait. Plexico amps up the thrills and action by adding new heroes and villains and sets up a plot where the Earth is about to be completely destroyed by giant killer robots. Action, adventure just doesn't get any better than this.
This is the second book in the series and it shows some definite improvement in style over the first. It also focuses heavily on one of my favorite members of the group, Esro Brachis. The narrative is straightforward and features a few minor surprises to keep things fresh. It's still written in the style of Bronze Age comics -- it feels like a mid 1980s series to me, along the lines of New Teen Titans or Legion of Super-Heroes. In other words, it's fairly family friendly but with some adult themes working themselves into the plotlines. There's no excessive gore or language and the sexuality is fairly chaste. If you like superheroes and prose coming together, you really can't go wrong with this series, which is really the premiere example of its kind these days.
