Lyric Walker was held captive by the insane Minerva at the
edge of the Great Abyss for three months.
After she discovers the truth of Minerva’s plan and the great evil that
awaits in the abyss to be unleashed on the human race, she escapes with the
help of Hulk. While all she wants is to
disappear into obscurity at some place far from any ocean, she in the
flashpoint for everything on land and sea.
If she can’t pull in together and lead the charge, then the human race
and the other ocean races are doomed to destruction.
Lyric’s story takes an unexpected turn when the ultimate
enemy is revealed. The flashbacks
between the present and Lyric’s captivity are certainly gripping. However, the resolution comes so swiftly and
easily that I have reread it three times now and still can’t believe that is
all it took to defeat them. If this were
a stand-alone, I wouldn’t bother with it.
Because it is the third in the series, you can’t get away from
purchasing it.
