Alexander's Army picks up where a dark inheritance left off. Once again Michael is called upon by the U.N.I.C.O.R.N agency to investigate a comic book owner who's amassing a very interesting army. Michael must choose between his loyalty to his recently undead friend and his need to find out what truly happened to his father. Michael will need to use all of his newly gained powers to keep him and his family out of harms way. Great book for tweens who like stories with a little humor and adventure to them.

There were times when this made more sense than book 1, and some of the explanations would have been better in book 1 as they were more concise and informative than those in book 1. But at the same time, i feel like not a lot happened and by the time i finished, i wondered what the book had actually been about.

Amazing! I loved every word of this story. Just a thought, though - a bit of parental guidance may be required for younger readers as some of the subject matter is rather dark.

That being said, this is an excellent twister of a sequel, with some rather nasty and unexpected surprises. The creepy comic shop left me feeling very relieved that I was never into comics! I hope Mr d'Lacey realises that I have been reading during office hours (the benefits of being in my own office); I really, really needed to know what was going to happen next!
