There are four rules.

01 - This is a sequel. Venture to Uncertainty comes first.

02 - This book is mature. This book contains harsh language, violence and sexual implications (no explicit scenes). This book deals with abusive relationships, sexual abuse and suicide. It isn't for you if you are not comfortable reading those themes, and is marked mature for those reasons.

03 - If you skip the prologue, you will be confused, overwhelmed and LOST. It's there for a reason.

04 - Keep the mystery alive. If you're smart enough to figure out something before Archer does, please keep it to yourself and out of the comments!
