Stuart Moore's "Para" is a superbly drawn, 192-page graphic novel offering riveting science fiction at a sophisticated level that is as compelling as it is entertaining. When a super collider is fired up, disaster occurs which blights the life of the project head's little girl. There's a government story that the accident resulted in massive and lethal radiation, closing the site to inspection for more than a decade. But when the decade is over and the little girl is now a young woman, she teams up with her dad's best friend, a grad student, and a government agent to see what they can find out in the bowels of the underground experimental structure with its miles of corridors and various control rooms. But it seems that the government wasn't candid all those years ago about what really went wrong. And now the very earth itself is at risk for annihilation. "Para" is a superb example of what a graphic novel can bring to science fiction storytelling and is enthusiastically recommended for action/adventure science fiction fans and enthusiasts!
