I am very pleased to say that my initial euphoria for the series continued with its second volume even though it was a completely different experience to Planetfall.

But the deeper he delves into the case, the more he realizes that escaping the past is not so easy. To figure out who killed one of the most powerful men on Earth, Carlos is supposed to put aside his personal history. And now, on the eve of the fortieth anniversary of Atlas's departure, it's got something to do why Casales was found dead in his hotel room-and why Carlos is the man in charge of the investigation.

Atlas is what took his mother away what made his father lose hope what led Alejandro Casales, leader of the religious cult known as the Circle, to his door. But in that moment, the course of Carlos's entire life changed. Gov-corp detective Carlos Moreno was only a baby when Atlas left Earth to seek truth among the stars.
