I really enjoyed The Widening Gyre last year, so when I heard that there was to be a sequel, obviously it rocketed up my TBR. This sounds like a set-up to say I was disappointed: I was not. I liked this book, perhaps less so than the first, but it was still an enjoyable read.

A sequel to The Widening Gyre. It can be read as a stand-alone but I feel you are missing out on a great beginning to this series.
Tajen has just married Liam, when an alert sounds. Ships have entered Earth’s atmosphere. One of these ships deliberately crashes into the shipyard and so Tajen and his new husband are back in action.
Due to the Zhen’s constant attacks, Earth’s fleet are in trouble and so Tejen, Liam and a crew head to the Kelvaki to ask for help.

This is the second in Michael R. Johnston’s Remembrance War space opera series. It would have been helpful to have read the first, but Johnston provides enough backstory that reading the first isn’t essential. In the distant past, human destroyed their planet and took to the stars. They wandered alone in space until finally taken in by the Zhen. The Zhen were not as compassionate as they originally seemed. Earthlings remain second-class citizens. Tajen Hunt, a human, has rediscovered Earth and t

A fast-paced sequel to his debut book, "The Widening Gyre," Johnston delivers more of exactly the right stuff. His characters are fun to be with, but never too slight or facile, and the complexities of the situations that protagonist Taken Hunt find himself in are thoroughly explored. Hint: it turns out, Tajen has plenty of room to grow and change! And of course, the dogfight in space scenes are simply spectacular in this space opera beauty. If you liked the first book, you're gonna love this on

...They thought it was over. They believed the Zhen invasion had been thoroughly repelled. Earth would be safe again at last.
....Not so.
Tajen, Liam, and crew burst into action again, because Earth MUST be defended....no matter the personal cost. THE BLOOD-DIMMED TIDE is Book 2 in THE REMEMBRANCE WAR Series, sequel to THE WIDENING GYRE.

About halfway through this book, I realized I was enjoying it quite a bit less than The Widening Gyre. This was mostly because this volume was light on action and heavy on politics. Luckily, it picked up later on and I thought the ending more than made up for it. I can't wait for the sequel.

It was ok. I just really couldn't connect with the characters.

They say history is the raw material of fiction. This book is very much a case in point. It's book 2 in a series, and opens about a year after the events of the previous book. Tajen Hunt has led a group of humans in reclaiming an uninhabited Earth from the Zhen Empire. Said empire had claimed to "save" humanity from the wreck of a slower-than-light starship.
Here's where the history comes in. The template for the events of this book are based on the Irish war of independence which started with th ...more
