Yup, it’s a good one!

Loved the first book, and this one doesn’t disappoint. A great perspective on alien invasion, and on the backwardness of society. Very good, very well written and -as always - RC Bray kills the performance. No editing whoopsies, and I love that.

Refreshing!

What a great story! Very original & refreshing. Finally, something other than a straight-up military sc-fi opera. I'll be waiting for the final installment & keeping an eye on Richard Fox in the future. Great job!!

Good but not great.

the first book was a great one, opened the whole concept of the xenocide and humans being the villains, well plotted and good characters. this one has good plot and good characters but nothing really happens, it's all set up, could have been 30 mins to an hour longer so we had and interesting ending to keep some excitement for the 3rd book but it doesn't its borderline boring and the last hour was boring, not the best way to end a book. I love Fox's books so I hope the next one kicks it up and utilizes the set up.

A great sequel!

This was a great continuation. The thickening of plot and action on point. Bonus humor moments. Highly recommend. 5 stars all around.

This series hits on several different levels

Richard Fox took awhile coming out with book 2 but the wait was worth it. The story is mostly drama but also has some 3rd tier characters providing subtle comic relief and a number of situations where parody seems the most appropriate.

R.C. Bray, you continue doing you.

Anxiously awaiting book 3.

Intense

This is not your "relaxing night-time book". It's a balls to the wall hell drive though rings of fire and grief. Almost from the start I began having stress sweats as I listened to RC Bray describe one terrible and hopeless scenario after another.
All that to say. Highly recommended. Just be prepared.

Good job

It was a great book. I loved it. It was really great. I loved it. It was really great.

So good my balls jiggled

Another great book by Richard Fox. If Avatar had an illegitimate live child with Aliens it’d be this.

Richard takes great pride in developing a rich universe of Good, Evil, and everything in between.

The motivations of the Tyr and their separate factions, their human enablers, and the evil corporation with its drug addicted scummies is well laid out and compelling.

Great book… you know what the have to do early on, but can they?

Another compelling story. Written by Rich and performed by R.C. Bray.

Looking forward to the final installment of the series.

Ex Scummy here

I love the story and the performance. Anyone who knows a "Scummy" research ibogaine ;)

Entertaining

Great elements of anthropology, xenobiology, and dystopian corporate lifestyle. And of course, the greatest narrator of action-based genres. The names can get a little confusing, but go back a min or two and the characters are easily discernible.
