It used two distinct narratives: far future Mars, where a human settlement encounters disturbing geological shifts, and a colonial British navy where alchemy-powered ships sail through deep space. The two story lines converge in an epic battle, though there is a lot left unresolved. The second book continues a few years later--two years in the "contemporary" timeline, and twenty years for Weatherby and his fellow British officers. It's an incredibly fast read with the intensity increasing with even more points of view. This leads to the one negative comment I have: there are a lot of characters to keep straight, and remembering names is definitely my weak spot. That said, it didn't impair my enjoyment of the book. It was rollicking fun from start to finish though one particular plot line made me get somewhat sniffly at the end. The next book is going to have a lot at stake, that's for sure. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Two dimensions collided on the rust-red deserts of Mars--and are destined to become entangled once more in this sequel to the critically acclaimed The Daedalus Incident. Lieutenant Commander Shaila Jain has been given the assignment of her dreams: the first manned mission to Saturn. But there's competition and complications when she arrives aboard the survey ship Armstrong. The Chinese are vying for control of the critical moon Titan, and the moon Enceladus may harbor secrets deep under its icy crust. And back on Earth, Project DAEDALUS now seeks to defend against other dimensional incursions. But there are other players interested in opening the door between worlds . . . and they're getting impatient. For Thomas Weatherby, it's been nineteen years since he was second lieutenant aboard HMS Daedalus. Now captain of the seventy-four-gun Fortitude, Weatherby helps destroy the French fleet at the Nile and must chase an escaped French ship from Egypt to Saturn, home of the enigmatic and increasingly unstable aliens who call themselves the Xan. Meanwhile, in Egypt, alchemist Andrew Finch has ingratiated himself with Napoleon's forces . . . and finds the true, horrible reason why the French invaded Egypt in the first place. The thrilling follow-up to The Daedalus Incident, The Enceladus Crisis continues Martinez's Daedalus series with a combination of mystery, intrigue, and high adventure spanning two amazing dimensions.

This was an interesting fun read that I picked back up this weekend and read through in one sitting. The author has done a great job in world building and lots of great characters in this one. I really enjoyed the premise of the inter-dimensional worlds where events are happening simultaneously. Looking forward to reading the other books in this series.
4 stars for a fun read. Recommended for sci-fi fans. ( )
