The most action-filled Eden yet! In this shocking volume, character revelations and intense battlefield decisions punctuate a rollercoaster, book-length conflict. With new, cyber-augmented Propater villains (the Aeon soldiers) making a vicious debut, the mysterious Colonel tries to keep his ragtag group of freedom fighters alive. Kenji cuts a path through armored soldiers, and Cheribum and Sophia suffer serious setbacks. Kachua and Wycliffe make their way through secret Incan tunnels, not knowing what horrors lie in the daylight. If you thought that the previous Eden volume had a cliffhanger ending, you'll be blown away by the final pages of this thrilling ride! Hiroki Endo's Eden is a garden of violence, pathos and philosophy, where endearing heroes face a constant struggle for survival and violent surprises wait around every corner!

About the Author:

Hiroki Endo is a manga artist best known for the science fiction series Eden: It’s an Endless World, which was named best manga by Wizard magazine in 2007. He is also the author of Meltdown and All Rounder Meguru series and a short-story manga collection titled Hiroki Endo’s Tanpenshu.

From Booklist:

Because they're crammed with mow-'em-down, blow-'em-up action, it's phenomenally easy to whip through volumes 3 and 4 of Endo's postapocalyptic military sf manga. The confrontation between the guerrilla heroes, who are guarding an ageless, physically and mentally augmented girl (in appearance), and the forces of the paramilitary, perhaps -business-controled Propator organization, which is openly contesting the UN for world domination, comes to the clinch in volume 3 and isn't fully resolved until the end of volume 4, if then. Both volumes contain substantial flashbacks, though the preponderance, concerned with the exceptionally lethal young Japanese guerrilla, Kenji, is in the latter. Some heroic players are lost, and 15-year-old Elijah, the saga's focal figure, draws his first blood. Endo manages drawn-out violence with balletic grace, so that it unfolds intelligibly no matter how brutal and gory it gets-which is extremely. Except for the stylishly sleek and handsome principal characters, this is an ugly story. Beautifully executed, though. Ray Olson
