Coyote Rising: A Novel of Interstellar Revolution (Unabridged) [Audio Download]

Continuing on from the end of the first book. The new arrivals from Earth have started to settle and are imposing their regime onto the original colonists. The stories centre around the unhappyness of the new Colonists and the dictatorship that ultimately cause this new society to crumble. Terrorism, love the futility of war and religous persecution all feature in this second cracker of a novel by Mr Steele and as with the first, this book doesn't disappoint.

Again as with Coyote, Coyote Rising presents you with a number of short stories, each one centred around individuals of the colony. Each one having a different perspective on what is happening. Each story is haunting and the characterisations are very well done. Even though each story is separate and distinct there is still and underlying story arc which each one refers to, allowing you to get your bearings are you delve deeper through the pages.

I like the Coyote stories. They really are pure escapism and I intend to get the final book, Coyote Frontier when it is published. It's sad that this will be the final book but I hope the author takes us back some time.

Recommended.

This book starts 2 coyote years from the first and follows new characters to the world. Then after the base of how things are on coyote is made we return to the original crew, who are set for rebellion.
The book is like the last, broken up following different characters at different points in coyotes history. This I think is the best part of Allen Steele's writing. Every part is new but still follows the wider story arc.
Although this is the second in a trilogy you could pick this book up without having read the previous, which is another wonderful thing, because I didn't have to reread the first to remember characters from it.

This book has what you need Love, Action, and Sadness. I loved it from start to finish and wound have no trouble about rereading.
