I just finished reading The Dark Beneath (The Nexus) , book two in the Nexus series. First off if you didn't read The Nexus you will have a hard time getting into the story line. This book picks up right where The Nexus left off, continuing the story of Anterra's top secret crime fighting division. The writing is very good with the storyline at times introspective, looking at the real life struggles and flaws of the characters, and at times as pulse pounding as the best thrillers I have read. I was kept guessing right up to the end about which way things were headed and when I finally reached the last page there was enough closure to say "I can wait for the next book in the series" and enough intrigue to say "I can't wait for the next book in the series". Well done J Kraft Mitchell. Keep em coming.
