Corgan had hopes for a peaceful island life after winning the "Virtual War," but fate--in the personages of two clones of Corgan himself--intervenes. The loyalty of the clones is uncertain, as are the affections of Sharla, whose vixenish tendencies come fully to the fore. There's plenty of action in this capably scripted sequel, but the arc of the storytelling remains suspended, depending too much on Virtual War and on the book to come.
