At the end of Unconquered, the first book of the trilogy, Canadian teenager Victoria has survived her perilous journey to China to extract her biological parents from exile. Along the way, she uncovers some of China's most mysterious historical secrets. As life returns to normal for Victoria back in Canada, a confluence of disasters suddenly pummels Earth, a premonition of the apocalypse about to befall humankind. An immense armada carrying scores of millions of female warriors from the red giant Betelgeuse has arrived at the outer reaches of our solar system. They plan to exterminate all humans on Earth and colonize the planet.
With the help of a toy robot and a quantum gateway in the form of a mirror, Victoria visits the paradise planet Shangria, where an invincible one-eyed hero ends the Endless War, but, tortured by an unrequited love, inadvertently causes a temporal rift only Victoria could repair by the Great Reset. The Canadian teenager also pays a visit to the Amazonian planet to learn about the origin of the female warriors, the history of their struggle, and why they want to take over Earth.
Lost in the labyrinth of the past after being betrayed, Victoria must find a way back to the future because she is the only person capable of stopping the alien invasion and resetting the universe. By coincidence, she meets the author of Dream of the Red Chamber, one of China's four greatest classical novels, and unlocks some of the book's most enigmatic mysteries, one of which helps her return to the present timeline.
Halfway on her homeward journey, Victoria stops by the banks of the Danube to witness an invincible general, who also happens to be an early founder of Canada, win a decisive victory in one of the greatest battles in European history. She realizes what is most important to her and refuses to abandon the human race, though knowing she has little chance of saving it. Will Victoria risk everything on a fool's errand?

Though “The God with no name” is claimed to be an independent book, I recommend you all to get the engine started from the first book of the sequel “The unconquered”. Yes! The author picks us up, right in the place, where he had left us with our adventurous teen, Victoria. Who doesn’t like mysteries? And the best part in it for which we all wait for is revealing them. Now, start reading to travel with awe to unravel those knots.
Adventures! Are you as excited as I am just by hearing this single word? Who wouldn’t? The author has given us the biggest threat with the adventures in “The God with no name”. As a child, we all would have loved the superheroes who save us from the villains. Now, you are going to fall in love with the superwoman Victoria, who conjoins with her troop to save the world. In this journey, she gets to know more about herself and her connection with the aliens. I assure you that this book will keep your eyes widened throughout and is an entertaining and enthralling read.

The God with no name by Peter Man is the second book in the Romance of the Flower Kingdom trilogy and a sequel to The Unconquered.
The storyline follows that of the first book and the author suggests reading book 1 first in order to make sense of this one. However, I consider it can be read as a standalone if we are able to understand that the characters' adventures present here are connected to those of the first book in the trilogy.
It revolves around a Canadian teenager who after coming back from China starts having a normal life which does not last long since some serious disasters which involve aliens and robots begin on earth and Victoria has to adapt herself to them.
Man’s writing style is on point in this book; he has been able to unfold a science fiction narrative in a way that seems realistic. The language employed is simple and easy to follow. I have enjoyed this tale a lot!

Victoria returns in this sci-fi thriller to save mankind
Victoria has just returned to a somewhat normal life after her first adventure to China when the earth begins experiencing a series of disasters. This epic journey will take her on a path to discovery as she finds a band of female warriors, whom she is related to, are her to mankind and take over the planet. This journey combines warriors, aliens, the earth, and much more as the struggle for survival continues. The characters are well developed and relatable and the story is well written, fast paced, and easy to follow. I found this one to be a good read and it can stand as a solo book. This sequel is a good one and gets my vote. Check it out folks. It is worth the time.

The God with No Name (Romance of the Flower Kingdom Book 2) by Peter Man picks up where The Unconquered leaves off. Although this particular book works as a standalone, it is helpful to read the first book in the series. Here we find Victoria as her life resumes after her amazing journey to China. The earth is being destroyed by a series of disasters, and Victoria must fight a group of bizarre creatures to save humanity. They are a bunch of intertwined stories here that combine to make excellent reading. The pace is fast, the settings are intriguing and well described, and the characters are developed well. You will learn about Chinese history as well as you are reading which is so interesting. Overall an interesting and recommended read.

The spunky adventure continues
Spunky teenager Victoria is back, just I'm time for an alien invasion! Female Warriors intent on eradicating the human race and colonizing the earth, Victoria must use her new knowledge and the help of a robot to first understand why these aliens are here and how she can hold them off before it is too late.
I liked the story, it was fun,action packed sequel to the first book and the author showed again that he can juggle multiple characters without it becoming confusing. I liked the integration of real-life sagas and legends which gave the story a realistic element.

I must admit that I was fascinated with the cover of this book, as soon as I saw it; I like all kinds of skulls. I would recommend this book to fans of stories that include new creatures and wonderful landscapes. It reminds me at some point of Star Wars, I guess because of the helpful robot. I feel very inspired about the main character, she has a powerful female energy.
This book written by Peter Man is the second of a trilogy from the same author. In this occasion, the main character, Victoria, fights against aliens trying to destroy human life; she has to make a radical decision in her personal way of doing things and learn about her environment and her own strength.

“The God with no name” is the second book in the series “Romance of the Flower Kingdom” and it tells the story of an adolescent who after arriving from a long trip starts experiencing extreme situations which will take her along a new path, one that is dangerous

It is a story that will keep readers hooked until the end. It is perfect for the whole family and to accompany leisure moments.

“The God with No Name” was written by Peter Man. This is a science fiction book with lots of twists and turns that exceeded my expectations. It tells the story of a Canadian teenager called Victoria who after saving her parents from eternal exile, she finds out that something terrible is threatening the Earth: a group of aliens from the red giant Betelgeuse of the Orion constellation.
This piece of writing took me on a journey and the amazing plot kept me interested. In fact, it features a cast of creative characters that stuck with me long after I turned the last page.
To conclude, I would say that I highly recommend this novel to anyone.
