The Gates of Neptune (The Seven Sleepers #2)
Gilbert Morris
- Reading
- As the second book in a series, it may help to check whether the opening explains earlier events. If you read together, pause at tense scenes and ask how the group is responding to the danger.
- Themes
- Spiritual leadership: The companions follow instructions from Goel, described as their spiritual leader, during their quest. Spiritual guidance is explicitly part of the group’s adventure, but its broader meaning is not clear.
- Resistance to a powerful enemy: Seven companions are asked to help resist Necros’s attempt to conquer Atlantis, facing traitors and sea creatures. The setup centres on a small group facing formidable opposition; the story’s judgement of their choices is not established.
- Worth knowing
- The overview mentions a harrowing escape, a battle against overwhelming odds and frightening sea creatures. These elements suggest sustained peril; their detail and intensity are not clear.
