Product Description
When Kalinin and Tessa investigate the capture of a suspected terrorist by the Japanese government, they expect the procedure to be routine--but find it's anything but! Then, when Tessa turns to Sousuke for help, a seemingly jilted Kaname only increases the drama quotient. And the threesome's problems grow exponentially when they learn about the existence of a mammoth AS known as Behemoth--with which the terrorists plan on destroying the city... Will it be "sayonara Tokyo"?

 I couldn't put this book down! September 28, 2008
Blue Umbrella
Once again, Shouji Gatou delivers an excellent reading experience with the second Full Metal Panic novel. "FMP: One Night Stand" maintains the refreshing mix of high-tech military action, lighthearted comedy, and budding romance the series is known for. And although this chapter isn't quite as intense as the first book there's still plenty of action to go around.
This volume features quite a bit of character development, especially for Tessa, who had a relatively small role in the previous book. The author really fleshes out Tessa by placing her at the center of much of the drama, and a good bit of the humor as well. By the end of the book you'll have a much better understanding of her and what she's all about. The same is true for Kaname, Sousuke, and even Kalinin, though to a lesser extent.
As far as action goes this volume has a ton of it packed within its pages. Anyone who has seen the television series will notice that the TV show really toned down some of the violence, and cut out some scenes altogether. This novel is certainly worth reading to discover all the tidbits that the TV show left out. Of course there are plenty of other reasons as well.
If you enjoyed the first novel it would be safe to bet that you'll have fun reading this one too.
 The Plot Thickens January 1, 2004

Once again ADV brings to the reader a well-mixed blend of action, comedy, and romance. FMP book 2 has it all. Unlike the first book, instead of introducing the reader to the characters, it starts to focus the reader onto the plot of the story. Action starts to happen and the ministories that we saw in book 1 are gone. Now it's all-out war, the plot has thickened.Sagara Souseke is on a field trip when he and his classmates are suddenly attacked by an enemy of his past, who looks to kidnap none other than Kaname Chidori. Will Sagara be able to save Kaname before they utilize her for their demonic purposes? And what is so special about her anyways? In addition to an action development Love Hina fans will be happy to know that we see a romance one as well. Again Gatou is able to dazzle the reader with such a special love relationship that even those with the strongest of hearts will falter. The plot? Awesome. The translation? Spectacular. The drawing? Impeccable. May the stars shine in the sky.
