Kurzbeschreibung
Laika Harris, Tony Luciano, and Joseph Stein are the Searchers -- deep cover government operatives directed by a man they dare not trust, exploring phenomena they cannot fathom. Now their hunt for the mysterious entity known as The Prisoner is leading them to a dessicated corpse in the Southwestern desert -- and directly into the midst of violent fanatics who are determined to set the enigmatic captive free. But this merciless place of ancient cultures and strange, mystical canyons may be a death trap for the dedicated trio. For The Prisoner may he much more than his hunters could ever dream. And because of that, the most powerful forces on Earth are gearing up for the ultimate confrontation -- one that no mere mortal can stop... or survive.

Too often, the second part of a trilogy is also the dullest part. Everything is set up in the first book, and everything is resolved in the third, so the second can't do anything but mark time.
Empire of Dust manages to escape the curse of the second volume. It answers several questions and resolves some issues from the first novel, while setting up new situations for what promises to be an exciting conclusion. The author manages to remind the reader of relevant information from the first book without screaming, "This is a recap." This book could probably be read independently, though it does say Book Two, right on the cover, so nobody should be upset if they feel like they're coming in on the middle of the story . . .
This series continues to out-X-Files the X-Files. My only fear is that once everything is revealed, it'll just seem goofy. I'm willing to take that chance, though. I've got to find out how this story ends!

I waited to post reviews on the first two books in the Searcher series until I saw how the last volume turned out. I needn't have bothered, since Mr. Williamson maintained the taut writing, finely delineated characters, and sure hand at dealing with paranormal (or is it??) material right up to the cataclysmic end. These are superb thrillers, marrying X-Files style paranormal investigation with a sure hand at action and a trip into the most fascinating corners of strange phenomena. The series feels like one large novel that reaches progressive crescendos at the end of each installment, with the last volume (which I just finished) providing a suitably grand finale.
I hadn't seen much from Mr. Williamson in recent years, but I remember his Ash Wednesday as one of the more literate and emotionally powerful horror novels of the past couple decades. It's good to see him back in top form.
There's no question that these are inspired by the X-Files, but they bring a literacy, craft, and intelligence to paranormal fiction that we see too rarely. Now that the final volume is out, buy them all and read them all together.

While this is marginally better than Part 1, City of Iron, I still feel this series leaves a lot to be desired. While the "prisoner" idea is interesting, I still feel many of the characters are little more than cardboard cut-outs. Once again, I cannot recommend this series, though I do think Mr. Williamson has written some far better books (including his Crow novel)
