"Nail-biting suspense." Kirkus Reviews(starred review)
The much-anticipated sequel toThe Obsidian Bladelets readers see the world through the eyes of Lia, the enigmatic girl who changed Tucker Feyes life. In this second volume of the Klaatu Diskos trilogy, Tucker and Lia hurtle through time, relating their stories in alternating viewpoints that converge at crucial moments. Fans ofThe Obsidian Bladewill be intrigued by the chance to see the world through Lias eyes no matter how disturbing the vision might be.
Middle books in trilogies are tricky, but this taut science-fiction thriller pulls it off with panache...Hautman continues to write mind-expanding adventures and nail-biting suspense to probe big questions of faith, destiny and personal responsibility. The next book cant come soon enough.
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
[A] fascinating sequel. ... Hautman doesnt know how to write a bad book.
Booklist
Tinged with elements of ancient Mayan sacrifices and political intrigue, the book will have fans of historical fiction and science fiction thinking through the motives and concepts of this smoothly layered adventure.

About The Cydonian Pyramid, he says, I could never resist a tough, spunky, conflicted heroine. Following Lahlia through the diskos was an incredible journey. She still scares me a little.
