" If you enjoyed Legacy of Heorot, you should like this sequel, which continues the story of the settlement of the planet Avalon, with a few new 'Avalon Surprises' added. "

" Not a terrible story by any means, but the gratuitous sex was a bit overdone. Also it is hard to believe that such educated and intelligent folk as the First would allow such actions as committed by the Second. If the Second were older the story would make more sense, but I do have a hard time seeing teenagers being able to plan such complex actions. "

" This is the sequel to The Legacy of Heorot. It's nowhere near as good as the original. The Grendels in the original had personality and were scary. The species that humans go up against in this one is some insect-like creatures. Even though they're just as deadly as the Grendels, they just don't evoke the same level of visceral fear like the Grendels. "

" The sci-fi emphasizes exobiology and the attempt at a utopian human colony on the planet Avalon. The planet comes alive in the description and the characters are interesting. But, how did three separate authors blend this all together? Very good. "

" Much better than the first one in the series. The dynamics between the different generations add a lot more to what was previously just scary monster alien planet adventure story. "

" This book started slow for me; and by that I mean about 2/3 of the way in it started to get interesting... then it seemed that the ending was rushed and not satisfactory... but it was still worth a read. "

" Not nearly as solid as the first book in the series, reads rather as a contractual obligations book. Main flaws I found were in paired description sets timelining between, "What we arrived to see," And, "What we saw happening later," With minor inconsistencies. "

" I really liked the Legacy of Heorot. I was hoping that this would be that good. It wasn't. These guys also did the same thing with "THe Mote in God's Eye" and "The Gripping Hand." The former was GREAT! the latter, not so much. "
