Exciting, is not sufficient entirely up to the first part

As in the first series is also convincing in this sequel to the design as a radio play across the board. It is mainly the experienced speakers who make the template a lively story full of suspense. They act primarily authentic, even in difficult situations, in which the figures are under severe pressure. Again reported the famous spaceman in the form of flashbacks (as the actual radio drama) with intermediate texts as first-person narrator of the adventures of his youth.
The sound accompaniment was written out discreetly, except, of course, an alarm goes off, bullets hit a or the like. So the radio play frame does not distract from the actual action from which is determined by the speakers, but the suspense complemented excellently. Sometimes, such as when waiting for knocking, even the short spellbound silence is an addictive style funds. So will not be bored.

Nevertheless, this result does not reach the first, and this is mainly because of the very shallow resolution on the questions why the practical training comes first and who fired on the spaceship. After the meantime captivating storyline that resolution seems like a cold shower. Nevertheless - for fans of Mark Brandis is the second episode of "Mark Brandis, space cadet" recommended.
