Matthew's Reviews > Orphan Black: The Next Chapter

Thanks to NetGalley for this text version of the Serial Box audio series.

This is the printed version of "Orphan Black: The Next Chapter" that has already been released as an audio series, narrated by Tatiana Maslany, by Serial Box. The story is excellent, a cozy and comfortable extension of the show that ended after five too-short seasons. All of the humor is carried over, and the cast is larger, with the kids taking on greater roles. Set several years after the show, Cosima has finished her Ph.D. and she and Delphine are married, Felix and Colin are common-law married, Kira is nearly grown-up, Helena is running her twins through wilderness survival training, and Art adopted Charlotte who is also grown-up. Those of the younger generation are stretching their boundaries, especially Kira under the watchful eye of her somewhat overprotective mom, and discovering their own roles in Clone Club. And, as one might expect, there are new clones, genetic science, secret government projects, spies, clone mix-ups, and plenty of mortal danger. This collection of stories, written in "exquisite corpse" style among a small group of fantastic sci-fi authors, feels just like a two- or three-episode epilogue to the amazing original series, and possibly the beginnings of a new stage in the adventure.
