A post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller. Cyborgs, genetic engineering, and military action.
Under the threat of impending alien invasion, when the Professor and the rogue Septagon Shadow cyborg program surface in Russia, the world has a problem. When they seize the government in a coup, the world faces disaster, and Jill Repeth and Spooky Nguyen must do everything in their power to shut them down while fending off rivals bent on assassination and subversion. Earth's nations will need to cooperate to prepare for the arrival of the Destroyer, but Daniel Markis and his allies must overcome violent intrigue, bloody special operations, and underhanded politics to find a path to humanity's survival.
David VanDyke is a former Army Airborne soldier and later, an Air Force officer. He lives in the Tucson area with his wife and three dogs. Look him up at davidvandykeauthor.com
I enjoy a good story. This series has been just that for me. I'm not inputting any spoilers, but if you watch today's news, from say, the beginning of the CoVid Pandemic, then you will have a good understanding of the world that Daniel Markis, Jill Repeth, Skull Denham (and all the rest of the cast) live in and are defending to the fullest. Mr. VanDyke traipses a very thin line between fiction and reality and has had my attention since the First book I read, Stellar Conquest. I picked up the Plague Wars Series, because I wanted to know where it all began. SMAJ Reaper Repeth caught my interest and that led me all the way back to Daniel and Elise's first encounter where he nearly killed her. But, I digress. I said I wasn't going to input any spoilers. So, start with The Plague Wars and go forward from there. Or, start with Cyborg Strike. I guarantee you pick up The Plague Wars Trilogy pack and dive in.
While the space fleet is being built events on earth are gradually bringing nations into alignment, to provide the united planet if the Destroyer is to be dealt with effectively.
Spooky, Repeth are the main characters here in several actions; one or two rogue elements from previous volumes are neutralised.
The whole series has been a fun read so far. Even when the story gets uneven in its telling, this is a short detour. I will likely keep reading to see where it all winds up!
