This sequel could have been great, and in fact has a clever plot for the most part. It falls apart at the end, though. I admit, I'm a sucker for a happy ending, and grouchy when I don't get one. Still, although I admire Carole Nelson Douglas, I think the plot decayed into gibberish just as it was wrapping up. Characters start doing nonsensical things, the bad guy wins, etc.Left me with a bitter aftertaste. If you read the original Probe, skip the sequel and save yourself the hassle.Jkirk3279@aol.com
