After the Dark (Dark Angel, Book 3)

Loved to read the continued story of dark angel. Glad that everything is great and that logan and max are cured. Great job

The book read like an episode of the series-I could almost hear the characters speak as I read. However, the author relies on his other two books for themes and situations, instead of the series (which I guess you might expect from the third book in his trilogy), but he gives enough background so that the reader isn't lost by not having read his other two books. All-in-all, the book gives at least some closure to the abrupt end of the series--[...]. Speaking of closure, the book left wanting more. Other reviews have called the ending "lame". Maybe the author was setting us up for another book. But seeing that his contract was for only three books, I doubt it. Since no other books are likely in the works, the author needed to add an epilog to explain the ending. Who knows, maybe someday he will. [...]

If you, like I was, were totally bummed out when Season 2 of Dark Angel was the last, this book will bring you the conclusion you were hoping to see. I am not going to ruin the plot by telling you all about it but you will not be disappointed. Grab a copy now while it is still in print.

Judging by the series Facebook page, Dark Angel (2000-2002) still has its share of dedicated fans. One thing they have in common is their disappointment that the show wasn't given a proper ending by the Fox network. "After The Dark" provides a resolution of sorts, with mixed results. Combining reveals from the show's second season, along with writers' commentary from the DVD set, we know the following: 1. In the distant past a comet passed close to earth, depositing a deadly virus which nearly eradicated humans. Over thousands of years a group with a natural resistance to the virus, through a selective breeding program, developed superior physical capabilities and are now poised to take over the earth following the comet's next pass (i.e. The Coming). They comprise a secret breeding or snake cult (certain snakes are hosts to the pathogen; members' children who survive a snake blood ritual are inducted into the cult). 2. Sandeman, designer of the covert Manticore genetics program, was a rogue former cult member who infused his transgenics with resistance to the comet virus. Max Guevera (X5-452), we learned, has no "junk" DNA; she was created with complete immunity to the virus. If a third season had gone into production, Max's blood was to provide the basis for a serum against the virus, thereby making her the savior of humankind. Because "After The Dark" is designed to end the series, another conclusion to the comet virus storyline is required, which renders much of the second season premise irrelevant. Parenthetically, while an inconsistency in "Skin Game," Logan's inability to walk without his exoskeleton is actually in keeping with the writers' intent: the regenerative blood transfusion he received from Joshua in season two would begin to fail in the third season. Overall, the novel is well-written and entertaining, though some of the dialog, especially Alec's, could be better executed. Collins quickly--if rather unconvincingly--resolves the Manticore designer virus impediment to Max and Logan's romance (see also "Skin Game"). The author answers what happened to Donald Lydecker, and best of all provides a satisfyingly gruesome finish to the vendetta that began with Annie Fisher's murder. Worth a read by fans: just understand that this is not the direction the show's writers planned for the principal storyline.

Finally a conclusion to the TV series. This book does propose an end to the Dark Angel episodes.

Thankyou amazon! These are the books I was looking for and couldn't find anywhere else. I also received them in perfect condition! This was my first time using amazon and won't be the last, thanks!

I enjoyed the last of the Dark Angel books because it stays true to the TV series character development. In addition it does provide answers to the snake cult history and agenda and shows how "Eyes Only" was able to get back with Max. The author does give lots of background information to you, the reader, to refresh your memory of what leads up to and happens in the last episodes.If you were a fan of the show I would recommend this book.

I purchased all the Dark Angel related books (Before the Dawn, Skin Game, After the Dark, Eyes Only Chronicles)They were all much better than I expected. Mr. Collins is a very good writer.

After the Dark (Dark Angel) is a gripping tale that kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The intricate plot, richly developed characters, and atmospheric setting drew me in from the very first page. Author's storytelling prowess shines through, weaving a narrative full of suspense, mystery, and unexpected twists. With its blend of romance and supernatural elements, this book is a must-read for fans of the genre. After the Dark is a captivating and unforgettable read that leaves a lasting impression.

ie auch die beiden anderen Bücher der US-Erfolgsserie Dark Angel, ist auch dieses Buch ein echter Knüller. Bevor Logan von Whites Leuten entführt wird, gesteht er Max noch ein fürchterliches Geheimnis.Trotzdem und obwohl Max zutiefst verletzt ist, beschließt sie sich auf die Suche nach ihm zu machen... Wird sie ihn finden? Und was hat es mit der Auserwählten und dem Zuchtkult auf sich? Wird es ihr zum Schluss doch noch gelingen, Logan zu befreien? Und was für fürchterliche Entdeckungen muss sie noch machen?... Fragen, die sich jeder selbst beantworten kann, wenn er das Buch gelesen hat. Ich kann es nur empfehlen und für alle Fans dieser Serie istes auf alle Fälle ein Muss. Auch wenn man kein Fan ist, ist das Buch empfehlenswert, allerdings schwierig zu verstehen, da man nicht weiß, worum es in der Serie geht. Aber auch darüber kann man sich ja entweder mit den anderen Büchern oder übers Internet informieren.

C'est le dernier livre racontant l'histoire de Dark Angel et de Max. Logan vient de se faire enlever et Max doit tout faire pour le sauver. Cette fin est super surtout pour les fans de la série

Die Charaktere der Serie werden gut weiter geführt. Leider hat der Autor auch die Liebesbeziehung wie in der Serie hinausgezögert: sind diese Leute denn prüde?

La fin sans doute définitive de la série, un livre plutôt bien écrit, la personnalité des personnages y est bien respectée, dans leurs actions, ou dans leurs paroles, on a de bons dialogues, des touches d'humour comme on pouvait en avoir dans la série, les "erreurs" assez rares (même si on se rend malheureusement bien compte que Max Allan Collins n'a jamais vu Dark Angel, et oui Logan n'a plus besoins d'exo-squellette, enfin passons) Quand à l'histoire elle est dans la continuité de Before the dawn (avant l'aube, puisqu'on reprend l'histoire de Seth) de la série et de Skin Game (le traitre), on obtient énormément de réponses (le virus, les runes sur Max, l'avènement, retour de personnages, fin de certains autres, la bataille transgénique/ familier qu'on aurait toujours voulu voir...) il aurait néanmoins fallu achever la série avec un tome supplémentaire (parler de la mère de Max, Sandman pourquoi pas...) mais encore une fois la FOX à fait le minimum, enfin ils auraient pu demander à un auteur bien pire que Max Allan Collins (c'est déjà ça) Pour finir la traduction française est un massacre (les traducteurs n'ont pas vu la série non plus et font du zèle): Maul devient Taupe le Chinese theater Mann, le théatre chinois Mann..., ça crée la confusion, à privilégier en anglais donc
