Venus War
Lieutenant Alex "Flex" Callahan watched helplessly as the first refugee ships fled Venus. Something was driving them mad, transforming both crew and vessels into horrors. But this was just the beginning.
The mysterious alien menace that calls itself The Cure has arrived, threatening not only death and destruction but the monstrous and chilling corruption of humanity itself. While Flex works tirelessly to discover the true nature of The Cure, he is beset on all sides by doubters and enemies within.
As Venus falls and the infection spreads, Flex faces enemies on all sides. Military command refuses to accept the true scope of the threat, while his Senator father plays political games that could doom humanity. With transformed crew members appearing in Earth's fleet and time running out, Flex must convince Earth's leadership that their only choice is total war—before The Cure's technological evolution transforms them all into something no longer human.

Good Read
I really enjoyed reading this book. Human vs alien. Humans defeated aliens although the aliens were technically more advanced. A new, powerful threat emerges requiring the defeated aliens to work with the humans to resolve this crisis. Sure! Both sides are going to effectively work together and share all information and scientific breakthroughs with each other. Each species doesn’t have their own agenda, right? Shouldn’t be a problem! Ya, right! Enjoy the read!

Another 4 1/2 from me
Firstly, one really must read Pax Solis took 1 to follow the building narrative.
The story is vast, inventive and as always, easy to read as in well written. The many action sequences are riveting, the main characters beautifully established.
A lot more typo's in this book 2 which is annoying
BVL & DVD always pique one's interest .. Great storytellers!
I'd like a book three and this ending certainly sets it up, so let's hope there is one.

Well written story, I did not put it down
Great second book to the series. I went back and read the first book again after this because I missed some things in the first book. Looking forward to Book 3

Who is helping whom?
Great story I was in suspense the whole Way through.

Know your enemy, and your friends
Interesting story. New crisis from a new enemy. Or is it the real enemy? Very descriptive action sequences. Change or die. Or change and die!

Interesting story that never gets boring. I can't wait for the next. Characters are solid and not to unusual. Great weekend reading.
