Alien Hostiles

Solar Warden, Book Two

De: Ian Douglas

Narrado por: Nick Sullivan

New York Times best-selling author Ian Douglas delivers the action-packed second military sci-fi adventure in his Solar Warden series set in a wildly imaginative alternate present where conspiracy theories are terrifying realities and reptilian aliens team up with Nazis in space.

By exposing the sinister Saurians, Navy SEAL Lieutenant Commander Mark Hunter and his team have more than proven themselves. Yet the war between humanity and the intergalactic aliens has only begun - now they must save themselves and all of civilization.

The JSST - the Joint Space Strike Team Hunter has put together from all branches of the US military - is again deployed on board the Earth starcraft carrier Hillenkoetter on a mission to probe a possible historical connection between the Saurians and the Nazi Third Reich. At a planet called Paradies orbiting the red giant star Aldebaran, they discover a long-rumored colony of expatriate Nazis...and the beginnings of a plan to enslave Earth under Nazi - and Saurian - rule.

With Earth at stake, governments deeply compromised, and evil at the door, Solar Warden must fight together to end it all...even if it means sacrificing everything.

Excellent book, well worth the listen!

Yes it jumps around, however, it is easy to follow and sets the stage for the various scenarios in the book. Hoping there are many more in the series.

Excellent!

This is shaping up to be a fascinating and fun series. I'm looking forward to book 3.

I should have returned this book.

I kept listening hoping it would eventually click and start making sense. All the time line jumping around and the kooky Nazi / Alien story lines never really made sense. The characters were single dimension and you never really get invested in any of them.
I’d suggest skipping this book.

Enough with woke!!

I don’t know if Authors ever read these reviews but dang! I’m sick of them shoe-horning female POC characters into roles that just don’t fit! I mean a black female delta operator! Come on, I’m already barely on board with the lizard space Nazis and you throw that on me?? There has never been a female in Delta period. I’m sure at some point some democrat will see that one “meets” the criteria at some point though.
Statistically, 95% of operators that fall under SOCOM are white men. Just the way it is.

If I’m going to write a book about a fictional Basketball team that is the best of the best, I’m not gonna put white women on the roster… probably not more than a couple white guys for that matter. It’s just so blatantly obvious what these writers are doing. It’s a check the box for them at this point.

I know it’s a sci-fi, but when you’re building your story and your base story arc is built around realistic soldiers and operators thrown into this over the top story, don’t go back and screw it up by inserting token woke character to virtue signal. Come on man. Who do you thinks reading this stuff anyway?
