Conflagration
It’s the end of everything...

Randall Munroe, corporate mercenary. And Caleb Mitchell, the deadliest man alive. Together, they make a stand against the darkness, but will their only hope for victory be in risking the destruction of all they hold dear?
Discover the destiny of humanity in volume 2 of the devastating Psi War series!

Ambivalent to the extreme
Rarely has a book jerked my emotions around as much as this one. The first half was incredibly dystopian and repetitively hopeless. It felt like a 2 and I almost quit. However I didn’t because suddenly my favorite old character Caleb started showing up. How the author managed to pull all the threads together to make a real story and an ending that made me reach for the next book is beyond me, but much admired and appreciated which is how it ended up with a 5 rating. Congratulations Rick Partlow.

Twisted Wow
The plot is fairly clear until it just explodes in surprise. Oh I loved it and am struggling to imagine where it goes from here. 6 stars is about right on this one.

A Rare Sequel: Better than the First Book.
Book 2: Conflagration builds upon the confusion of Book 1: Homecoming and is aptly entitled. Attention; SPOILER ALERT, if you have not read Homecoming. ... As revealed at the end of Homecoming, the Transformation Virus which was engineered by the Predecessors has been released upon the Commonwealth. The result is a repeat of the fiery death of the Predecessors or maybe not ... A much better story, in my opinion, than Homecoming. I recommend this book.

Imagine the Cheshire Cat trying to eat you
I've got to tell you it's been a hard go for me to finish reading this book. It's kind of like The Shining was sitting in a bar getting scifi and horror mixed up while he tried to tell a story and monstrous things just kept falling thru the background! Bringing this particular book to the hospital might not have been my best idea as I try to recover from surgery! I had the weirdest dreams.
I think I'll wait a while before I read the next one, maybe a nice bright comedy or romance should be the next book I read,

The end of everything.
Absolutely brilliant military sci-fi action.
Great characters with realistic situations and lots of action.
How do you kill the gods? Close up and personal, might work.
I look forward to the next one.

Excellent
"Psi Wars 2: Conflagration" is an exciting story that ties several of the storyline in this universe together. Well worth reading.

When it rains it pours.
When a galaxy spanning civilisation ends, the death toll is biblical.
Great characters with realistic situations and lots of action and adventure.
A cast of amazing characters that you can connect with and care about.
I look forward to more from this series 😁
