Glory rises from the carnage of the Battle for Earth. Humanity is shell-shocked by how close they came to extinction. They don’t know what to do, but they trust their leaders, and they are turning to Admiral Jack. And he looks to Glory, Captain Drake, and her crew.
With the loss of the planet killer, the Paragon will seek vengeance. They have become even more dangerous because they no longer have to maintain the veil of subterfuge.
Their goal hasn’t changed. Death to humanity.
Humans. The scrappiest fighters of all the sentient races. But can they stand up to the technologically superior Paragon?
Pick up the second installment in this epic military science fiction series today.
Ira Heinichen is a writer / professional thumb wrestler living in Los Angeles. He is currently writing about himself using the third-person, pretending that it’s someone else, like he’s so important and busy that he needs other people to write these things for him (he doesn't). He’s also pretending about the “thumb wrestler” part of that first sentence. The writer part is true…but he’s probably blown that credibility already with the afore-mentioned mistruths.
I write SciFi books, I journal daily on my website, I host a podcast called “Film School,” and I live in Los Angeles with my amazing wife and my more-amazing dogs (sorry, Bear) Cooper, Joy, and forever in my heart, Coco (2014-2023).
Like many sequels, this book was good but not up to the standards of the first in several areas. There were multiple typos and grammatical errors that were enough to detract from several scenes. The storyline was good and some of it was surprising but some was also typically predictable. Spoiler Alert: I was very disappointed that Zed survived, at first I thought the authors took a brave chance killing off a main character but it turned out they did not unfortunately. The story could have been told so much better.
Too many space books have endless fighter battles and I can’t relate. But this one had me on the edge of my seat till the end. Well not the end of course. Will follow this one.
It’s a good read if you have patience. The storyline had its moments, but it took a while to get to the point. Some chapters were really engaging, while others dragged on unnecessarily. The characters were interesting, but not enough to make it a page-turner. It’s a mixed bag.
I am so getting into these books. I tried the first one just to see if I liked it and now I'm reading nonstop. Getting #3 now to continue on my journey into space.
