Book Two

De: Fonda Lee

Narrado por: MacLeod Andrews

It's time to take back Earth.

Earth's century of peace as a colony of an alien race has been shattered. As the alien-run government navigates peace talks with the human terrorist group Sapience, Donovan tries to put his life back together and return to his duty as a member of the security forces. But a new order comes from the alien home planet: withdraw. Earth has proven too costly and unstable to maintain as a colony, so the aliens, along with a small selection of humans, begin to make plans to leave.

As word of the withdrawal spreads through the galaxy, suddenly Earth becomes vulnerable to a takeover from other alien races. Aliens who do not seek to live in harmony with humans but will ravage and destroy the planet. As a galactic invasion threatens, Donovan realizes that Sapience holds the key that could stop the pending war. Yet in order to save humankind, all species on Earth will have to work together, and Donovan might just have to make the ultimate sacrifice to convince them.

Great second book, great world building

great characters, narrator, and plot. I enjoyed exploring the complexities of occupation in this setting.

Totally worth the slow burn … what a finish!

“T.G.I.N.S. (Thank goodness I’m not squishy!)”
The slow start was frustrating, especially because Donovan and his erze suffer setback after setback and humanity seemed doomed.

Commander Worth: “Humans are strange creatures, Guhr, sometimes they remind us what duty means.”
But, I stuck it out and boy was the last third an emotional rollercoaster.
Chapter 29 …O.M.G. … I was (figuratively) screaming in exultation.

“My Erze knows what’s at stake; some knew before I did.”
The final hour was outstanding and action packed.
Humanity prevails … and yet there’s room for the story to continue.
If there was a book 3, I’d be burning a credit and calling in sick.
This book did me like that so hard. Bravo, Ms. Lee, Bravo!
