Phantasm 2: In the Shadow of Iniquity (three)
         by Christopher J. Levinson
Page 18 of 18
Light of the Stars was about relationships and freedom. Phantasm 2: In the Shadow of Iniquity is a companion to the first story, continuing that theme as well, but it's also about the person and what makes them who they are; genes and soul, and as I was saying earlier Laura herself is Rogue and human, powerful but flawed. The third story will be about faith and again that's going to be reasonably different to all that has preceded.

Of course, themes are only so much bullshit if you don't have a story to go with them. I am trying to make the Phantasm stories as rich as I can, in quality of ideas if not always in their complete originality. Sorry if you disagree with that, but, well, there you have it.

Phantasm 3: Magical Myth will be the third volume of this five-story long saga. I hope it will be completed later this year. If not it should be done sometime in early 2003.
