Ignition Sequence

Grendel Unit #2

They are the universe's most dangerous operatives. A covert group of military specialists who take on the hardest targets and never miss. Now, their team has been dismantled by the dangerous political maneuverings of their commanding officer, General Milner.
Captain Vic Cojo and the massive mantipor known as Monster have been captured and imprisoned. Lieutenant Frank Kelly, the crew's First Officer and tactical medic, now on trial as a potential conspirator, is facing the same fate as his former teammates. And worst of all, Yultorot, the religious fanatic who blew up an elementary school, is now working for Unification as an intelligence asset.
Things have never looked darker for the Grendels.
Prepare for ignition.

Reviews

[Trevor · Rating 3 out of 5]

Second book in the Grendel Unit series, this one follows 2nd in command Frank Kelly. Although, continuing straight after book one, flashbacks show how Kelly became a medic and net the team.

[Éric Kasprak · Rating 3 out of 5]

For me, part two of the Grendel Unit series was better than part one. The action was more exciting, the story was more focus and the author gave us more background information about the world, the unit and some characters. The focus is mainly on one character (the field medic) but we overall get more depth on everyone involve. The use of flashback is use more comprehensively by the author then in the other series that I read from him (Seneca 6) and everything is pertinent to the story. The Grendel Unit is simply put, a well done, fun space adventure with quality writing and great characters.
