Summary: (from goodreads) Obsessed with MUSE, the clandestine project that created the AI in his brain, mercenary chief Durango draws the ire of the government when he steals part of the secret project data and hightails it with his lieutenant, Vienne, to an ancient monastery. There, he meets the monks who raised Vienne from an orphan and also encounters soldiers working for his old nemesis, the crime lord Mr. Lyme. Lyme controls the territory surrounding the monastery, as well as the datacenters housing the rest of MUSE.

Undeterred, Durango and Vienne pull off an ill-advised raid on Lyme’s complex. During the ensuing battle, however, Vienne is captured, and Durango is beaten and left for dead. Now, wounded and shaken, Durango must overcome bounty hunters, treacherous terrain, a full scale civil war, and a warrior monk with an eye for vengeance (not to mention his own guilt, self-doubt, and broken arm) to find Vienne and free her from Archibald, a brain-washing pyromaniac with a Napoleon complex who wants to rule Mars--and kill Durango in the process.

Durango is back in another thrilling installment by Mr. David Gill. The super soldier not even feeling from the last mission, is apparently ready for another one. Mr. Gill writes a fantastic book, that in my opinion, out does the first book of the series. In Invisible Sun it seems like there is also a parallel amount of drama and emotion to the action in the novel. As you read, his characters grow physical and mentally into ways unforeseen. In this book we are able to capture the love capable of the human soul but also sadly, the atrocity of a person.

Still based in Mars, Durango and his comrade/girlfriend Vienne are still trying to find their way in the world. All that changes however, when they stumble upon a mission, that will change their whole world. With shocking twists and turns, action packed scenes, and a love struck hero, Invisible Sun lives up to the hype of its predecessor. This book was a refreshing change of pace, that I recommend to anyone looking to try something new.
