Every bit as enagaging, intriguing and enjoyable as Spin, the first book in the series. While not an immediate sequel (it follows a different cast of characters), concepts and consequences from Spin are explored further here.If you liked Spin, you'll find Axis well worth your time. If you haven't ...
Not quite as amazing as the first as most of the concepts that made the first book so great are continued here. It is more of a story set in a science fiction universe than a sci-fi book, and that's a good thing. It continues the arc of the first book and answers more questions than it raises.
It was a nice continuation of the Spin story-line, but not much of a novel. I'm glad I read it because it is a well written story and had a few interesting ideas.
An all-around better book than its prequel Spin. The pace is better, the characters more interesting, and there's almost no current-level technology to get wrong (though the inability to track cell phones was hard to swallow).
supposed to be a sequel to Spin, but it does not follow any of the characters from Spin - just later events in the same universe. So far, not so good... (Tune in for more details once/if I finish it.)

Wilson's earliest novels were very enjoyable but almost too tightly constructed. In his later works, there is some room for the reader to breathe, and thus, I think, to ide...
So good. These books need to be a mini-series (movies would be too short), and they would need to be in 3D. Think Avatar, visually.This one has an ending satisfying enough not to require me to immediately need to read the 3rd in the series. I probably will anyway.
