lt;br /gt;Laura J. Burns and Melinda Metz (2005)
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;RATING: 4/5 Stakes
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;SETTING: Season Two
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;CAST APPEARANCES: Buffy, Xander, Principal Snyder, Cordelia, Willow, Giles, Oz, Angel, Joyce, Harmony, Amy, Jenny Calendar

lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;BACK-OF-THE-BOOK SUMMARY: "Because of the high incidences of death and violence, the Mayor of Sunnydale has invited a woman called Belakane to speak at Sunnydale High School. Her program, `Be the Ultimate You! builds self-esteem in teenagers. But Belakane is a demon antlike queen, whose test-and subsequent nurturing of the skills she discovers-is simply part of her plot to enlist workers to build her colony, and to find mates to help her populate it. Soon Sunnydale High is full of kids with only one trait each: aggressive Slayer, brainy Willow, helpful Oz . . .and Belakane has only just begun. . . .

lt;br /gt;REVIEW
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;Colony is a strong entry in the line of "Stake Your Destiny" choose-your-own-adventure Buffy novels. The main plot thread enlists the reader in stopping inspirational-speaker Victoria Belakane from turning Sunnydale High into a giant ant farm, while the subplot pits the Slayer against a Sleaniman demon, a dimension-hopping brute with a surprising vulnerability. Much like its predecessors, Colony is a hard book to win-I died three times before deciding it was review-writing time.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;In addition to an original and well thought-out plot, Colony boasts accurate characterization and fun, inventive dialogue. Xanders transformation into an enormously obese figure or rippling fat is a classic combination of disgusting and hilarious, and the portrayal of high school assemblies is spot-on. Fans of the "Stake Your Destiny" line should try this one out.

Customer Review #2:
 The writers of Apocalypse Memories do it again!
These two authors are great! They know their Buffy. The things they say sound like they came right from the show. This takes place at the beginning of season 2. So Angels good and Jenny makes an appearence too. There are other characters like Harmony and Andrew. This book is longer then the other Stake Your Destiny books so there is more you can do.
lt;br /gt; The story rocks! My favorite story is when Buffy is under Mrs. Belakanes, who is an ant queen or can be in human form, control and she is someone who likes to fight and she would do anything for Mrs. Belakane. So your kind of like a dark Slayer. The other part is when all of your friends are under her control besides you and Willow. Also Xander gets very fat. There is another big bad in this book. A demon called Sleamm... or however its spelled. I will be like Buffy and just call him Lucky or Leprechaun.
lt;br /gt; GO PICK UP THIS BOOK!
