Review: Force Recon by Mike Adams
Book 23 Forward Recon by Mike Adams
Time has run out for the colonists as the aliens finally start the Battle for New Hope. The much needed reinforcements with modern military weaponry are just a few days from orbit, but New Hope cannot hold out that long. Indeed, the defenders might not even be able to hold out long enough to evacuate the rest of the colonists to the emergency shelters they’ve been hiding away in remote areas on two continents.
While the life and death of New Hope is being determined, the Jacks—fifty-high-school-students-turned-rangers and the several hundred adult-rangers they’ve rescued—are finally in a position to start turning the war around. They’ve penetrated the settlements the aliens conquered early in the war and are starting to take them back, stealing the invaders victories away from them and creating a new zone in which the reinforcements can land to throw their presumably decisive strength into the war.
This book has all the things that have made this series so much fun to read. The humans—nearly out of military ordinance—must use their ingenuity to continue throwing the aliens back on their heels. The question remains, will it be enough to keep the majority of the colonists alive until the cavalry arrives.
