ENTITY: Further the Void

by Donald Morrison

When Private First Class Jason Fascio escaped the terrifying horrors on Mars, the last thing he could have anticipated was finding himself awakened from cryo nearly eight years later. Now, aboard the Janus Space Station, just six days after being brought aboard, he realizes that the horrors have once again, just begun.

Further the Void is the terrifying sequel to fan favorite, ENTITY, and follows the sole survivor of the Attis Mining Colony after a previously unknown organism was unearthed, only to slaughter its way through its hundred and fifty colonists.

Really enjoyed this, even more than the first book.

Lazy editing and lack military protocol

Some sections were entertaining but when a lieutenant is referring to a Sgt. as “sir”, and Sgt. is referring to commissioned officer as lieutenant instead of simply “sir”, it got too distracting.
Plus, grunts were promoted to officers and names were swapped around and confused multiple times. It became too frustrating to finish.

“If you enjoyed this book, then be sure to read the rest in the series” alright Mr. Morrison, where are the rest in the series, because I need to read them… in the mean time I will read The Cargo I suppose (it’s already sitting on my kindle right now lol)

I’m not sure how this, duology… or unfinished series? isn’t more popular. With a good editor and a relaunch I feel like it could get great traction!

In both books I found the action to be a really great way to push the story forward. There are also slower moments where the character take in the death and destruction around them with descriptions so great that I can imagine what they are seeing. I highly recommend this for people who are interested in scifi, space travel, aliens and first contact gone wrong. ✝️🤍

While I have to admit I didn't love the first ENTITY book, this one was fantastic. Great use of characters from the previous book. I ended up reading this book in two sittings only because I got in trouble for reading it too much at work and had to wait to finish it later.

Probably a 3.5 for this sequel. More or less the same story, only in a bigger environment (which is fine), but there were large portions of over-descriptive text, and quite a few grammar errors which were off-putting (a few I don't mind, but when there are lots, it's not good). I did enjoy the premise of the story and was interested to see how the survivor from the first book navigated through this new place. I felt he did a good job. The characters were more of the same, along with some civilians. A mix of short and long chapters kept the story quite punchy, but the longer chapters were filled with long paragraphs full of "fluffer" text.

Overall it was an OK read, mainly because I wanted to see how the story continued. The ending left the door open for a third book, but I'm not sure if I'll be along for that ride, unless the story takes a drastic change of direction.

The rare sequel better than the prequel

Entity: Further The Void picks up where Entity left off, with Fascio finding himself eight years after boarding the ship headed to earth, but on a station light years from where he should have been. Like Entity, Further The Void is packed with non-stop action and a high body count. Characters act both in selfish and altruistic ways, dialog is tense and fitting, violence strong and plentiful. 4/5 stars, recommended for fans of horror, sci-fi or both!

Pretty much like the first except the smartest person survives to the end.
