Book Description
Secrets and betrayals, as the saga of Dark Angel continues!

In a chaotic world where the lines between good and evil often blur, and violent anarchy and brutal repression become commonplace, secrets can be deadly. So when Max discovers a shattering truth that Logan has kept concealed from her for years, the betrayal threatens the very essence of their trust.

Yet when Logan is kidnapped, all questions of truth and loyalty are cast aside. Max’s search will lead her to a familiar, menacing enemy—and back into the shadow of the Snake Cult, which waits for her with chilling anticipation.

But the search will also lead her into wholly unexpected territory. Locked in the fight of her life, Max will discover a captive of the cult who can provide her with the one thing that has haunted her ever since she escaped from Manticore. . . .Download Description

Max disappointmentPart II
I've already listed my review for the book before this one, Skin Game. The review for this book is pretty much the same.

Because I needed a Dark Angel fix, I crossed my fingers, hoped for the best and bought the two books. I was very, very disappointed. I felt as though this book (and the other) were nothing more than authorized fan-fiction rather than a professionally written story involving my beloved characters.

And again the author either overlooked or completely ignored the fact that Logan did not require the exo-suit. He regained the use of his legs thanks to Joshua's infusion and still used the exo-skeleton to enhance his ability as Phil did.

I found the explanation of the cure flimsy and could have been resolved more believably. Again, the descriptions and back-story were too overt, jarring you from the flow of the story.

The story was somewhat interesting but like the first it lacked depth and since the show's episodes were deep and rich with side stories and info, again you would think that a book would have that and more.

Again I say, if you're looking for the last two episodes of the series to give closure, don't spend your money. Either borrow this book from your local library or read fan-fic from a fan-fiction site. This way the disappointment won't be followed by resentment for spending money on it!

Ok book but not for hardcore fans
It is my opinion that "Dark Angel: After the dark" does fill the needs of fans that just want closure. It closes most of the loose ends left by the sudden ending of the series. However, it makes some critical continuity errors that true fans won't miss. It is these errors along with some out of character actions that makes it fall short.
THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS SPOILERS! The book reads like a single episode. This is where the problems start. Dark Angel was too complex a show to be closed out with only one episode. This made all the "Answers" to the open questions very simple. For some of the answers I liked: The end to the siege & the answer to "What to do with these mutants". Without spoiling too much, the fact that having income generated by transgenic art is a direct idea from the series. Joshua had sold paintings for crate loads of cash in the past and this book runs with this idea of a way to generate income for the new town of "Terminal city". Having Max & her brood chase down one of their own builds the creditability that was need to get "Most" of the normal's out of their hair. The way they removed the virus from Max & Logan's way was inventive and unexpected. I think the whole "Logan's deep dark secret" was an unneeded distraction from the storyline only to keep them from "Getting Busy" since the virus was no longer in there way. They could have just as easily not cured them so early in the book and that whole story line could have been left out. The impending doom the Snake cult is waiting for turns out to be an end of the world plague brought on by a meteor. Since they were praying to a meteor shower in the series, I can buy this direction however; it still seems like a "Simple" answer.
Now for the problems. The biggest is Max and how they reduced her being humanity's savior to an antibody she's carrying. I don't buy this at all. There were numerous times when she had blood work done without indecent. It wasn't until Mantacore ran her DNA that they found out she was "The One". Also; during a conversation in "Freak Nation" between Max & Logan about her tattoo's, she said "Why didn't farther give me something I can use like x-ray vision" & Logan's response is "How do you know he didn't? Maybe it just hasn't manifested itself yet?" This statement alone gives insight into what Max was destine to become. There is further proof during the siege on Jam Pony. Just before Agent White's "Phalanx Warriors" attacked Max knew they were coming. Either by newly acquired advanced hearing or a sixth sense because none of the other transgenic's knew they were in danger.
In the book, Max is always annoyed when "Mole" had a firearm. The fact that Max herself didn't do guns is well known but she never voiced opposition to any of her Brothers. As a matter of fact: Zach practically had guns taped to his arms he used them so much without Max having a problem. Max also kills in this story. She broke so many people's necks I thought it was the episode of "Drawn Together" when Capt. Hero says "Maybe a little neck snapping will make you talk".
Logan's character was so wrong I don't know if the writers actually watched the show. First he had money, lots of it. Enough to buy buildings & set himself up a sweet pad in his new building next to Terminal city. Second he was crippled and needed the exoskeleton to allow him to walk. Even before Logan lost his fortune in the show, he never owned complete buildings, only his apartment. After his transfusion with Joshua to stave off the virus infection, he got use of his legs again. He only wore the exoskeleton because with it not burdened by paralyzed limbs, he had power as evident with him kicking his "Phalanx Warrior" out & saving Alex by kicking his opponent thru several walls.
Being a hardcore fan of the series, these facts made it hard to enjoy their interpretation of what would have happened. For a casual fan, the book offers closer so I give it 2 ½ stars.

Super Reader
Max Guevera, mayor? Seems unlikely, but the defactor head of Terminal City is what she has become, it appears. She is also a big fan of Jonathon Swift.

Things start looking up, as the serial killer in the last episode, a shapeshifter, actually ended up taking out Logan's virus.

However, a gang then kidnaps Logan, and things go crazy.

It seems that the problem with centuries-spanning breeding cults, is, well, that they are a cult. Made up of people. With politics, power plays, etc.

The transgenics do not have this issue, and are able to use factional splits, and even Ames White, via his missing son, to cause a lot of problems for the Familiars.

Freaky prophecies about comets bringing death plagues are perhaps not too likely, either, they should keep in mind for the future.

A fun book.

Finally - Closure!
It was so nice to finally have an ending to the Dark Angel series.I was so disappointed with the cliff-hanger ending of the second season.Many questions were answered and storylines finished in this book and yet it still left things open for Max Allan Collins to continue the book series if he wants.I, for one, hope he continues writing for this series.

Awesome completely awesome besides the fact it leaves you with one question. It answers everything and totally follows all that came before it. It was a great book, but I still wish another would come out. ... Read more
