Battle Earth II

De: Nick S. Thomas

Narrado por: Neal Arango

After halting the enemy advance across Europe, the war continues to rage in Paris. International armies have converged on the French city to make a stand. When Taylor investigates a mysterious sighting in their northern perimeter, he sees that enemy forces are encircling the city. The humans are quickly running out of ways to flee from the death trap.

New advancements in technology could change the course of the war, if they can survive long enough to get the weapons onto the front line. The combined allied forces continue to be driven back, but Major Taylor learns of an even greater threat. The aliens are developing a weapon which could bring destruction to the human race overnight. Only one hope remains for the planet. A daring mission nobody could hope to survive.

MechWarrior meets Independence Day

PROS: Interesting storyline. Good character development.

CONS: Not a lot of backstory. Narrator OK

DETAILS: The storyline was interesting. If you did not read/listen to the first book in the series, not a lot of backstory; the storyline seems to takeoff right where the previous book ended.

The story is kind of like if you combined the video game MechWarrior with the original movie Independence Day, but the story is told from multiple locations and perspectives; which is nice. The author, Nick S. Thomas, did a nice job developing the characters, which can be difficult when telling a story from multiple locations.

The author obviously is from Europe as the measurements are in meters and uses a few terms that are not in the average American’s vocabulary. An example of this is he uses the term football pitch a few times; which for those unaware (as I was) is a soccer field. This does not deter from the story at all.

I don’t know if the narration got better as the book went on, if I just adapted to Neal Arango’s style. There are times when it seemed like he was simply reading the story with voiceover’s tossed in later. Like I said I didn’t notice it as much as the story went on, that could be that because it was different than I was used it and I adapted.

Very Enjoyable!

This book is sort of like Edge of Tomorrow meets Battle: Los Angeles. The author does a very good job at describing the hopelessness of fighting a nearly numberless foe that is better in almost every way. He also conveys multiple scenarios where through courage and loyalty you can overcome almost any situation. I loves listening and I plan on finishing the series as well as the Battle: Beyond Earth series.

The narrator did a good job of conveying a militaristic voice when in combat situations. The only problem I had was that he pronounced some words differently(I do not say wrong because I may be wrong) than from what I have heard in other books and it Slightly confused me at times.

Military scifi

Ok, I have listened to the first book in the series and liked it, so of course, I had to listen to the second book in the series.

the story takes off right where book one ended and is told from multiple POVs and different location and this is one of the things I actually loved about this book. It keeps things interesting.
There is not a lot of backstory but I did not mind this and it had plenty of action.

Looking forward to the third book in the series!

Solid Military SCI - FI!

Keep them coming!

Fully immersive listen

This book was a full on action packed wonder from start to finish.

I like the camaraderie between the team and that the mission changes as needed.

Neal Arango did a good job with the many voices.

All we can do is give our all!

Our forces receive a small victory! Earth scientists have been hard at work reverse engineering weapons and armor for our beleaguered troops. They have manufactured an Exoskeleton fighting suit composed of improved armor and anti-material weapon. Twenty-five suits have been issued and production is in full swing. All hope that this new technology will be the turning point in the war. The aliens, now known as the Krycenaean, have captured Captain Jones and Private Walker. A rescue attempt was made but the holding area was empty. The military and colonist forces left on the Moon Base are also tired of waiting for defeat. Commander Kelly has decided to take the fight to the enemy. The future of our people on Earth and the Moon is still dark but there exists a glimmer of hope that the scales may be leveling. On the other side of the coin, there is evidence that the enemy is building a manufacturing plant on the west coast of France. This new facility must not be allowed to exist. Some of the same quirks still apply from the prior review but I choose to overlook them for now and enjoy the tale. Three.point.five.
