Vanguard

Book Two in the Orion's Spear Series

By: C. T. Knudsen

Narrated by: Kirby Heyborne

In a horrific global attack, terrorists brutally assassinate the US president on live television...leaving Chris Thomas the only one capable of stopping the Order’s reign of terror.

Labeled an enemy of the state, he must go rogue to stop Master Mahan’s rise to power.

Eighteen months after the events of The Adamic Code, Chris and Leah settle into a new life together, but their peace is shattered when the Order resurfaces to finish what they started.

The Order unleashes a mysterious technological terror known as Thor’s Hammer - a space weapon far more devastating than a nuclear bomb. In the aftermath of its first attacks, tens of millions are dead, and governments are thrown into chaos as they face a no-win choice: Surrender to the Order or die.

Out of time and against all odds, Chris must come up with a desperate plan to stop Master Mahan. To accomplish the impossible, he and his team of brilliant misfits must steal a little-understood, gravity-bending weapon from a top-secret military base.

With the fate of the world resting on his shoulders, can Chris’s Hail-Mary plan save billions of innocent lives before the Order strikes again?

All of the Action, None of the Swearing

Exciting throughout. Loved how intense it got but without any cuss words. I am looking forward to book 3.

great book

Great book exquisitely performed. Not a big fan of aliens but aliens but I did really like this book.

Not for this Latter-day Saint

I tried this book since it was advertised as a thriller written for Latter-day Saints. It is unnecessarily evil and ties in aspects of the religion that should be left alone. More gore and killing than many other books I've read including having children perform killings. It chased away any goodness I might have been feeling.
