In this second and concluding volume of Ho Che Anderson's gritty,
futuristic thriller series, Godhead 2 picks up right where part one
left off with Racer Calhoun and the rest of Cadre Zeus finally learning
why they've been assembled: to destroy Oceanus, the scientific facility
traveling through the Pacific housing the God machine. They undertake
what they hope will be a routine intelligence gathering mission on
Oceanus which quickly turns into a desperate fight for survival through
the city from which Racer had fled, and leads to a reunion with Carys,
the great love of his life.
Finally the cadre are ready to confront Oceanus and put an end to the
God machine once and for all. The story's finale upends the usual
narrative expectations and concludes with a somber private epiphany that
results in the triumph of human reason over a technocratic/supernatural
savior.
Part Boy's Own adventure genre, part men-on-a-mission yarn, and part
thrilling showcase for badass women kicking ass and taking names,
Godhead is also the perfect playground through which Anderson can
exercise his restless obsessions in this psychological corporate crime
drama.
