Invasion: Earth Saga #2
Indomitable
Earth has fallen.
The Xortaag fleet outnumbers the humans’ five to one, and using their mind-control machine, they can use all the Earth’s military forces against their own kind. The Xortaag colony ships are only a few weeks away, and when they arrive, they'll wipe out the human race to have space and resources for their people.
And as if all this wasn’t bad enough, General Planetary Genocide Maada has just laid a trap for the Earth fleet and decimated a large chunk of their forces.
To make things worse, an even more sinister threat (yeah, more sinister than the Xortaags) is emerging 1500 years in the future. An alien scientist is trying to send a two-hundred-thousand-strong armada back in time to exterminate all sentient life in our galaxy. Will he succeed?
How can our heroes fight against such insurmountable odds?
Indomitable, the second book in Earth Saga, boasts the same high-octane, non-stop action sequences as the first, and combined with its shocking twists and unforgettable characters, it’s a must-read for all space opera/military sci-fi fans. Sink your teeth into Jim’s next set of adventures today!
Note from the author: This is a dark and gritty reboot of the humorous Crimson Deathbringer series. Please see “From the Author” for more information. If you’ve read and enjoyed the original series, I don’t think you should read this; you’ll probably hate it. On the other hand, if you read The Crimson Deathbringer and liked the story but not the comedy, maybe give this version a chance.

Well, not really, but this should tell you all you need to know about me and my writing style.
I'm a huge Marvel (plus Game of Thrones, Star Trek AND Star Wars) fan, which shows since my novel is loaded with pop culture references. If you are a sci-fi fan (I assume that you are, otherwise what are you doing here?) you will enjoy them tremendously. I even went full Deadpool in my first draft and broke the fourth wall multiple times, until my editor told it was distracting and kept taking her out of the moment. Shame. Those fourth-wall breaks were hilarious. Still, I can guarantee a few laugh-out-loud moments. Case in point: The "good" aliens in my novel are a race of pranksters, whose main goal in life is pulling other people's legs (They have four legs, hence the slight change in the idiom). My favorite author is Jim Butcher (The Dresden Files), which is probably how I ended up writing in a first-person POV with the same light-hearted, funny tone as he does. The fact that my MC's name is Jim is purely coincidental though.
I am a university/college level English teacher, and including Canada, I have lived and worked in five different countries. I have met people from all around the world. Plus, my parents are from a different background, and so is my wife. As a result, diversity has become a major theme in my novel. My characters look like the bridge crew from Star Trek. One of my female characters even impersonated Uhura once, albeit posthumously.

In the authors notes at the end of the first book, Robbins said he wished he could go back and rewrite the first one in the series because it just isn't as good.
He lied.
In the info for the series, he calls this a dark and gloomy reboot of the Crimson Deathbringer Series.
He lied again.
The first book was OK, but not great. This book is even more "meh" and not that great. I said in the last one that maybe the author just hasn't hit his stride. I lied. I just didn't realize that the drunken faltering run of Captain Jack Sparrow is what that stride would feel like. Sean Robbins just doesn't know how to be a serious author. And his attempts at humor aren't all that funny either. I would say maybe he shouldn't quit his day job. But then I remember that his day job is as an English professor. So maybe he should.
I am not being fair. The book did grip me enough that I read it in a day or two. And I do plan to move forward in the series. I just have to recognize that his style just isn't my cup of tea.

Good read.
This book was good . It had plenty of action both on the ground and in space , it also had a few surprises in it that I didn't see coming. The book kept me glued to my kindle and had to find out what was going to happen next. On to the next one to see what kind of trouble they are in now after the secret message was sent to the enemy.

Mostly serious
This book did not make me laugh like the first one. Even though it had many references to Star Trek, it was a book filled with serious issues.
