Gaia Abducted

Summary: Worth the money, the wait, the everything
Review: As I picked up the newest Super Edition, I was a little dismayed to find that it was taking place in some kind of alternate setting than the regular series. I guess it was to be expected based on the other Super, but this one is even more obscure, especially after you read the preview for #28 and find that it picks up exactly where #27 left off. But don't let that stop you. It was slow going at first for me, but the further I traveled through the book, and the heavier the situation got, the more I couldn't wait to get to the end.

I found Gaia's newfound mental desposition more than a little irritating, but it was I guess nice to see her so out of it for a change. It makes you appreciate the Gaia we're all used to so much more.

By the time I got to the end, I found myself like Jake more and more. I'd been intrigued with him ever since #25. Now he's definitely considered someone to cheer for. And although he doesn't take Sam's place in my heart, I do consider him a nice break from the emotional storm that is her relationship with the other men in her life.

We don't get any information on Tom's whereabouts or Loki's condition, but we do oddly get some kind of "insight" into Katia's mortality. The book gets so convincing at times that I found myself second-guessing Gaia's past right along with her.

The ending is so unbelieveably climactic and shocking that it just blew me away. We also find out how far the Organization is willing to go to secure a stake in the Moore family, it seems for much longer than we dared thought. Gaia isn't the only target it seems.

I won't spoil the surprise, but I will say that this does rival Super #1 in its ability to deconstruct your expectations, while simultaeously building up all kinds of new facts that the reader most likely never considered in their wildest dreams. I recommend buying this today.

Summary: One of the Best of the Series
Review: Gaia Abducted is by far one of the best written books of the series. The new cast of characters presented were so carefully drawn out and completely believable. It connects more with the story line at the present moment then I at first expected. You feel as confused and as shaken as Gaia throughout the novel.

When I first saw it on the book shelf my eyes about bugged out of their sockets because it is by far the biggest book. The extra buck is by far well earned folks, and heck, you even get a shiny cover.

You feel like you know what the new information regarding Gaia's past is throughout most of the book, but just like Gaia you're in for a suprise.

And I don't know who Jake is, but he's carefully getting placed on the same shelf in my heart as Ed and Sam. I'm trusting him more with every page, and I think Gaia is as well. Perhaps Jake will be the ultimate love interest for Gaia as they do have the common interest of ass-kicking that none of her past loves have understood.

You begin to comprehend how Gaia will end up working for the CIA in the television show this fall on WB.

Enjoy, its one of the best yet!

Summary: Another superb super edition
Review: In this new long awaited Super Edition, Gaia awakes to find herself in Fort Meyers, Florida, thousands of miles from "home", in a mental institution called Rainhill. Gaia has no recollection of how she got there or why. She only knows she has to get out. After wreaking havoc trying to convince everybody she isn't mentally insane she finally meets the enigmatic Dr.K, a man Gaia is sure will finally understand how desperate she is to get out of Rainhill and back home. However the meeting doesn't go as planned and Dr. K begins to instill new theories about her "fearlessness". Deeper secrets are revealed about her mother Katia and the depths of "The Organization's" schemes. The ending, like the previous Super Edition, will blow you away.

The time period of this book seems to be right after SHOCK. The only character present in this book from the series is Jake, the mysterious new guy. I must say though after reading this book Jake entered the same league as Ed and Sam in my mind. It looks like Gaia might actrually find true love in a guy you would have never thought of. Jake definitely does have more in common with her.

Anyway can't wait to read the next Fearless and see how this Super Edition fits in. Definitely will enjoy Jake much more!

Summary: Gaia finds out some more so-called "truths."
Review: The entire Fearless series just isn't what it used to be. It's still entertaining, but I'm afraid that our little Gaia has changed tremendiously, she's not nearly as hard as she used to be. The author writes her differently now. She's more flighty, and far more susceptible to danger for some reason. I miss the old days, I miss Mary, I miss Ed worshiping the ground that she walked on.
However, these are new days. And Gaia seems to have fallen into another one of the Orginization's little schemes, even with Loki gone. We meet some interesting new characters, ones that I'm positive will be showing up again in the near future. And one highly entertaining, to say the least, revelation is made. Jake plays an interesting role in the book, a much larger one. (Didn't you just see that one coming?) As well as "Ana," a.k.a. Tatiana.
I, personally, don't understand the "Super Edition" books at all. After the first one, the series continued on as though that book had never happend. Until, ofcoarse this one. This is the only book since then that I've heard Gaia make any reference to the Saints and Sailors monument-any of it. However in this one we atleast have some conception of when it's taking place, and in the previous one, nil.
All in all, it's a pretty good book. Francine really gives us the runaround though and it gets really confusing. However by the end, it's just another messed up chapter in Gaia's life. I think the only really good that's going to come of the events in this book later on are the characters.

Summary: Better than first Super Edition
Review: This one takes place just after SHOCK and I hope it gets more integrated into the series than the last Super Edition (Before Gaia).

Gaia wakes up in a strange place and discovers here memories are muddled. She remembers looking for muggers in the park. Someone was behind her, she turned, and recognized the person. But that is all she known.

Gaia soon discovers that she is in a psychiatric institution in Florida. First thought: she doesn't belong there and she needs to get out.

But getting out is not easy, even for someone as talented as Gaia. Here therapist, Doctor Kraven, insists that here memories are fake and that her persona of the fearless hero is just a mental fabrication that was created so she could handle seeing her security-guard father accidently shoot her mother.

Yup, this is another of the "it's all a dream" stories that are so popular. But unlike the most of the others, this one is really good.

Soon Gaia is accepting what the doctor says. Her memories are coming back (with the help of electro shock therapy). We know something must be up.

Other patients include her roommate, a happily adjusted space cadet, and a boy with no name who seems to refer to everything in colors.

The only other regular character to show up in this story is Jake although many are mentioned.

The plot is good and moves quickly. There are plenty of surprises and a few revelations about Gaia's past. I just hope these things stay in the main series.

One of the best Fearless books yet (although it works best with a good working knowledge of the series, it does not stand alone). If you like Fearless, you must read this one.
