Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

Door to Alternity is volume two of the "Unseen" trilogy of Buffy/Angel crossover novels. It's filled with demons, monsters and magic, but also with more human violence than is usual in these stories, with an all-out shooting war between Mexican and Russian gangs in LA and Sunnydale. At the end of volume one, The Burning, Buffy and Angel saw a man disappear into a strange shimmering golden circle which then vanished and now similar circles are appearing in Sunnydale, disgorging monsters of every description. Buffy and Riley are kept busy fighting them, helped by Spike, who still can't hurt humans and is delighted to have something he can hit. Meanwhile, in LA, more teenagers are vanishing, apparently into thin air. The background story takes us to the USSR in 1971 where scientists were experimenting with a "Reality Tracer" designed to make contact with alternate realities, looking for worlds where communism has triumphed. When the Soviet Union collapsed, some of the scientists brought their machine to LA, where they hooked up with the Russian mafia who are currently fighting a turf war with Mexican gangs. But the portals created by this machine aren't working exactly as they should. In amongst the action, the authors still find time for the familiar bickering between the regulars--Cordelia's Wesley-baiting and Anya's general tactlessness are particularly enjoyable, and it's good to see Tara included in the Scooby Gang. This is a very good second volume and sets the stage for what should be an explosive finale in volume three: Long Way Home --Elizabeth Sourbut

Book Description

In Los Angeles, Angel and Buffy compare notes and realize that both are dealing with cases of missing teenagers -- most of them children of the rich and powerful. Coincidence? They don't think so. But when Buffy checks in with Giles, she learns that prime­time doomsday has hit Sunnydale, taking precedence over the gang warfare in L.A.

Back in her hometown, Buffy finds the doorway through which the monsters are gaining all­access passes to our universe. Renegade scientists have discovered how to open the portals from one reality to the next, which could explain where the teens are hidden. But when you're operating near a hellmouth, opening dimensional portals is tricky business: you never know who -- or what -- you're going to attract. With the lives of the kidnapped teens and one dangerously talented young woman at stake, Buffy and Angel join forces to do battle in the uncharted dimension....

This review is from: Door to Alternity (Mass Market Paperback)
"Door to Alternity" continues the "Unseen" triligy with the connection between missing children in L.A. and monsters appearing in droves in Sunnydale becoming clearer. Team Angel and The Scobbie Gang are working harder than ever as they try to solve the mysteries and keep the monsters under control. Also the reason for all these strange occurences becomes clear; it dates back to a Cold War science experiment by the KGB to alter reality, all for the glory of the State. Now it is being used to try to blackmail prominant U.S. citizens to bring back the glory days. Also a gang war brakes out between the Mexican Mob and the Russians. All of this makes for a very complicated story, there is a lot going on. Sometimes it gets a little confusing, but never so bad you can't follow the story. It was ok, but certainly suffering from being the bridge book. You have a lot of information and set up for the last book.
