Rally Point Zero

Team Oh Sh!t #2

by Jacqueline McCall

Gear up. Survive the war. Fight for each other.

After an alien invasion reduces Washington, D.C. to rubble, survival is no longer about winning—it’s about lasting one more day. Commander Gabriel Lennox leads high-risk missions into the dead city, chasing answers that could turn the war—or get his team killed.

Trapped behind the front lines in a freezing motel turned refugee camp, Paramedic Blake Lewis holds the line with failing supplies and battlefield medicine pushed past its limits. Triage replaces treatment. Survival replaces mercy. And every mistake costs him something he can’t afford to lose.

As the war grinds on, the line between duty and devotion fractures. Missions grow deadlier. Guilt grows heavier. And the bond between Gabriel and Blake becomes the one thing neither of them can abandon—no matter how dangerous it is to love when tomorrow isn’t promised.

The aliens may have started the war, but losing each other would finish it.

Rally Point Zero is the second book in the Team Oh Sh!t series. It’s a post-apocalyptic military sci-fi romance where gunfire, guilt, and devotion collide at the end of the world. It is best read directly after Trigger Discipline.

This was such an excellent second book in this series. Team Oh Shit! is back and it’s not been an easy road since the end of the last book.

Blake is struggling, he is trying to save the wounded at their camp but every time he loses someone he takes it so personally. He feels trapped, as if he isn’t doing enough and Gabriel won’t let him risk his life by leaving on a mission with him.

Gabriel is fighting the only way he knows how, with his fellow soldiers, Jake, Phin, and Victoria. He knows he’s slowly losing Blake so he tries to make him happy by bringing him books and taking him on sexy picnics. But he cannot give Blake what he really wants because he’s too afraid of losing the most important person in his life.

It’s was tough to see these men struggling and I really felt for each of them. When this entire team works together is when the magic happens. The fighting is exciting and fast paced and even if I was a bit lost at some of the scenarios it still was written so well that I kept on reading. I want so much more from these characters and I really hope we get it!!!!!

Rally Point Zero (ARC)

The first 60% of this book hit me like a punch to the gut 😔 It’s heavy, emotional, and honestly a bit overwhelming at times. You really feel how broken the world has become after the alien invasion.

What makes it even more heartbreaking is that people aren’t just dying from attacks, but from things that should be treatable like diabetes or medicine failing them 💔 That detail made everything feel so real and hopeless.

Blake’s storyline hurt the most. As a medic and a lifesaver he’s forced to stand by and watch people die from things he should be able to fix. Every loss chips away at him, and you can feel his frustration, guilt, and exhaustion 😢 It’s such a raw struggle.

But that’s also what makes the story so powerful. They needed to fall this far, to feel this lost, before they could rise again. In the middle of all that darkness, they realize something important…they’re still alive… and they still have each other ❤️

And when they finally decide to act? They don’t hold back 🔥 The plan is wild, risky, and completely unhinged the kind of move only “Team Oh Shit” could pull off 😅

Also… Victoria?? Absolute icon 💪 “Lieutenant Danger Tits” is everything and I loved every second she was on the page.

This series gives me strong early The Walking Dead vibes but with aliens 👽
Same emotional weight, same survival tension, just with a sci-fi twist.

Please give us more in this series 🙏✨

Review:
I've been really looking forward to this book since reading Trigger Discipline (book 1 in the series) and it definitely lived up to my expectations!

The story of Blake, Gabriel and Team Oh Shit continues in Rally Point Zero with a small time jump from the end of Trigger Discipline.

Though this book had a little more angst and heavy emotion than book 1, it still had plenty of humour and action to balance it out. I really love the way the author builds tension and pulls readers into the world.

As in book 1, the side characters were fantastic. I really liked that we got plenty of focus on the people we already know and love, but also had a few new characters introduced too! I love all the different dynamics in the team and would happily read full stories for each of the side characters.

This series is very different from what i'd usually read, being a Sci-Fi book with an alien invasion, but i'd 100% recommend it! I really hope the story doesn't end here as I'd love to read more from this world.

Washington, D.C., was a graveyard.

(You know things are bad in the US when that first line didn’t strike me as a necessarily bad scenario. Mkay ‘nuff said.)

Consistently excellent post-apocalyptic endtimes MM romance. This is book 2; you need to read book 1 first to fully understand the direness of the situation and the impressive character evolution.

This author doesn’t pull punches; she shows the human condition in her decimated US like it might actually be, survivors, refugees on the point of starvation, trying to rebuild some kind of life after aliens destroy everything, while still having to avoid the deadly aliens as well as in some cases desperate fellow survivors. Strong world-building.

Gabriel and Blake’s subplot romance continues to be excellent, full of chemistry, tension from conflict that isn’t resolvable yet, but also such tenderness and warmth it’s like a continuous hug on every single terrible day.

Hope is definitely the paradox of Pandora’s box. Is it good? Or is it the worst evil of them all?

Our men and their fellow team of survivors have united with Gabriel’s enigmatic leader Irving and formed their own camp on the outskirts of D.C. Gabriel and his team are constantly going on missions to learn more about the aliens and scavenge whatever food and medicines they can.

Blake is a paramedic who’s being asked to act as a doctor without the training or knowledge, and he’s about to break when a patient he had no way of knowing would have a certain reaction dies. He’s spiraling, and Gabriel refusing to let him join them on missions when he’s the one who knows which medicines and paraphernalia they need is a huge point of dissonance between them. And he’s not wrong.

Blake sneaking off with their second military team—led by a man who thinks of himself as Gabriel’s rival for position in camp—is his last-ditch effort to show his value out in the decimated field of a city. He’s pushed to it when a group of refugees find their camp and collapse on their proverbial doorstep, one of them needing a very specific medication they don’t have. The thought of one more potentially preventable death was Blake’s last straw.

Every scene builds on and escalates stakes. Every moment counts. Every choice is a character revealing/evolving moment, and all that combines to keep the reader riveted. The story continues to be told in Gabriel's and Blake’s dual POVs. Secondary characters support and enhance the read; everyone has a part and a reason for being on page. I enjoyed this second installment immensely.

Cheers to Tommy and his desperate attempts to stay vegan in a world where lack of food resources will kill him. He and his chickens kept things light at times. Sorry for the changes you are forced to make, Tommy. ❤️ But they need you.

Powerful ILY moment. 🥰

HFN. Post-apocalyptic—actually, what’s the word for ongoing-apocalyptic?—survival/alien-invasion suspense with a strong romantic subplot. No OM action or drama, but tons of great drama from rivlaries and posturing and surviving. Entirely safe for me. Highly recommended.

My thanks to Gay Romance Reviews for the ARC; this is my free and impartial opinion.

Rally Point Zero is the second book in a series that must be read in order so if you have not read the first book, do so now. That said, I was so glad to see this second book up for review as I did not have the patience to wait for it to come out as I loved the first book and needed to what happens next. The story picks up several months after the end of book one and the Team Oh Shit has made their way out of Washington. The peace they were hoping to find is still a long way off. The group have met up with Irving and are still fighting the FUD's, Handler's and Monkey Cats. But all the fighting means little together time and the strain is starting to show between Blake and Gabriel. For Gabriel, he will do anything to protect Blake from what their world has become but by doing so he has kept Blake from doing the one thing that kept him going. Stuck in the hotel the team and other stragglers have called home Blake is the groups medical provider which means little with the lack of supplies and conditions they are working with. For Blake that mean losing more than he is saving a toll that is becoming too much for the young man.

Ms. McCall pulled me right back into the Team Oh Shit's story. The tension and fears the men feel are easy to understand. The whole time I worried that these two would not be able to make their relationship work. That Gabriel would not be able to understand what it was that Blake needed to be whole again. The action scenes in the book also held my attention with the fighting between the aliens and humans become intense at times, the last fight had me so worried I was afraid to keep reading. The secondary characters are just as wonderful as in the first book with even more characters added in to make for even more conflict. The book does end in a way that could mean a possible third story and I hope we will see one soon.

[Dísir · Rating 4 out of 5]

If ‘Trigger Discipline’ dealt with the shock of an alien invasion that plunged the world into apocalyptic ash, ‘Rally Point Zero’ talks about the harder bit: survival, day by day. As the initial fugue state of shock begins to lift, Gabriel and Blake are left to confront the psychological cost of simply…living. Anger, fear, and a tangle of unresolved emotions have started to replace the adrenaline and none of these are handled particularly well.

Jacqueline McCall doesn’t shy away from cataloguing Gabriel’s and Blake’s lives a few months in the aftermath, where the initial cocooned state of learning to be with each other is replaced by a reality where they are bound by duty, physical (and emotional) distance and frustrating helplessness. Both wrestle with guilt and doubt, and the friction between them worsens before it gets better as they settle into their temporary home along with an expanded cast of characters.

But it’s that band of people that can make or break—and somewhat it’s also the very thing that helps infuse new life into the second half when passive existence finally gives way to active pushback.

‘Rally Point Zero’ is a great sequel despite the somewhat repetitive and slow first half. The grittiness of the storytelling doesn’t detract from the deep delve into character and the action never really stalls. Gabe/Blake aren’t the easiest protagonists to live with either, but their commitment to each other is nonetheless impressive, as are the ways they are committed to keeping others alive. I’d definitely love to read more of them—and maybe even more of how the team’s found-family dynamic can grow more deeply.

‘You’ve got to live a little or die a lot.’

This book reads like a ‘second season’.

I’m going to bounce off the reviews already written. Some of them say that there’s ‘Lots of time spent on philosophy of their situation’ (I loved this sentence) and ‘the start is slow’. Those fellow reviewers are not wrong. Even more than that, I think for people wanting and preferring a fast-paced action-filled book, the start is definitely going to be a reason you don’t like this book as much as you did the first one.
But for me, it was a big part of that ‘second season’ feel, where the first half of the episodes is their situation being shit and Blake and Gabriel’s relationship crumbling because of that. And the second half is them taking action to dig themselves out of that shit. The start is slower, focusing on them trying to survive fear, starvation and harsh winter, upping the stakes necessary to build momentum for the showdown in the second half of the book. I loved it and fit just right after an action-packed ‘first season’.

I liked that the author remained true to her characters and although we get some extra secondary characters that are important to the story, we didn’t get a ton. The author managed to create a place where there are more people than team Oh Shit but keeping red shirts* as red shirts, as they should be. And that’s a good skill, for sure.

Solid 5 stars! And hoping for that third season.

I received this book as an ARC through Gay Romance Reviews and this is my honest review.

* Yes, this is a Star Trek reference. If you are unfamiliar with the term, it has a wikipedia page and everything.

[Merissa (Archaeolibrarian) · Rating 4 out of 5]

RALLY POINT ZERO is the second book in the Team Oh Sh!t duology, and is also a book of two halves. The first half talks about what isn't always shown in the disaster movies - just how hard it is just to survive following an apocalypse! Gabriel and Blake are still together, but their paths are taking them further apart from each other. Both of them have PTSD in different, but equally traumatic, ways. The second half is what happens when stubborn humans decide to fight back. There is more action and plenty of drama as they devise a crazy plan to retake D.C.

This was a brilliant follow-up to the first book, delivering just as much emotion and action as the first, while continuing to move the story along. I loved Gabriel and Blake's relationship, so full of heart at such a difficult time. Once again, the supporting characters are amazing and help move the story along. I was literally biting my nails as I read, hoping and praying that no one died that I had become attached to.

I know this is a duology, but there are characters here that need their story told. I'm looking at Judd/Victoria, Alvarez/Beaumont, and absolutely not forgetting Phin/Tommy. This was an amazing, not easy, read, but well worth it. I loved every moment spent with Team Oh Sh!t, and hope to return to this series at some time in the future. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED by me.

Non-stop action but full of emotion too

Now that the frantic running to find safety (well, relative safety) has ended, the original group of six are at a motel with other soldiers and civilians. Struggling with the endless tasks of searching for food, clothes, weapons, while trying to learn more about their enemies without getting caught, there's very little to look forward to and the bitter winter isn't helping at all.
Blake and Gabriel are glad they've got each other but it's not easy for Blake to balance safety with the burning need to help. He feels like he's failing because he can't save everyone without medical supplies and medications but Gabriel won't risk taking him out on missions. It's heartbreaking to see them not being capable of meeting in the middle, on top of everything else they're going through.
The other characters are wonderful, with (somehow still) vegan Tommy and his constant shadow, Phin, and Judd riling up Victoria at every turn. Alvarez and Beaumont are fascinating too.
While all the characters are cold, bone-tired, starving and world-weary, there is still so much resilience. They may be stretched to breaking point but it doesn't stop Team Oh Shit coming up with a plan that will be nigh on impossible to enact and is so far-fetched it's laughable, but that seems to be the only way. I can't fault their do-or-die attitude and I was cheering them on throughout.

After an alien invasion destroys Washington D.C., Commander Gabriel Lennox leads dangerous missions into the ruined city while paramedic Blake Lewis struggles to keep refugees alive with dwindling supplies. As the war drags on and every day becomes a fight to survive, the line between duty and love blurs. Their bond becomes the one thing they can’t give up — even when loving each other in a world with no guarantees is its own risk.

The connection between Gabriel and Blake is undeniable, even as they both struggle under the weight of an uncertain future. Their bond becomes this steady, glowing thread running through a world full of danger, loss, and impossible choices. I loved how the story balanced fierce, necessary violence with moments of real tenderness — those quiet touches and soft words that reminded them (and me) that humanity and compassion can survive even the worst circumstances. There’s passion, drama, danger, and so much heart woven through their journey. And while I was fully invested, I did find the rapid shifts in setting near the end a little hard to follow, since they were separated only by paragraph breaks. Still, the emotional core of the story more than carried me through. A gripping, heartfelt continuation of their fight for survival — and for each other.

[Karen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Gabriel, Blake, and the rest of Team Oh Sh!t have survived the alien attack and continue to do so, in this second installment, by cunning intelligence, grit, and sheer stubbornness. They struggle to find food and medicines, and to gain intel about the aliens' weaknesses that they can use to begin to take back their world. Blake and Gabriel are driven by the need to prove themselves, not only to each other but also to the rest of the survivors. Their budding relationship is mired in feelings of inadequacy and anger, which are compounded by loss, guilt, and regret. The secondary characters grapple with their own emotional turmoil. The writer does an excellent job of building all those tensions to climactic moments that, in turn, develop the momentum they all need for the ultimate resolution of their situation and the climax of the action. Although this is definitely a sci-fi novel, and more suspense than romance, the real winner, for me, is the characters. They carry the story. They move the plot forward. They engage my imagination with their hurt, their despair, and their desperate bravery.

[Debby · Rating 5 out of 5]

Team Oh Sh!t is back. Their lives are so much more complicated as they strive to determine how to survive and help others without the proper supplies. Gabriel leads missions into Washington D.C. seeking information about the aliens which should help them defeat them. Each mission becomes deadlier for Gabriel and his teams while Blake struggles to help the injured and the sick with supplies that are so limited and inadequate. The one thing Gabriel and Blake do know is that their relationship must not become a casualty.

This is a dedicated group of individuals, each with their own issues. They each also have talents and using those talents leads to some unusual ideas and successes. The use of irreverence in naming things will make you smile as you realize it helps keep them sane. One thing is for sure, everyone has each other’s’ backs. The epilogue was fantastic and will keep you wanting more. This is turning into one of my favorite series as it has everything you could want – love, consideration, danger, and found family.

[SNik · Rating 5 out of 5]

Second in series (Team Oh Sh!t), must be read in order. Sci-fi. Established couple. Found family. Dual POV.

Team Oh Sh!t have settled in their own small community, but just surviving is taking its toll. Blake and Gabriel are struggling with their separate issues while trying to keep each other close.

This was a really good continuation to Blake, Gabriel, and their team’s story. At first I missed the action, but I was so glad that the relationship and the found family got a really significant amount of the book as it made me root for these people even harder. I enjoyed the friendships, the growth of Blake and Gabriel’s relationship (the steamy and the swoony), and how they scrape together a plan to fight back. I thought this was a planned duet, but I am here for more stories with this survivor group (as long as the author doesn’t kill off any long standing characters because I’m already attached). 4.5 rounded up

Team Oh S**t is on the move.
Continuation of Blake and Gabriel’s journey into the hellish world created by the alien invasion. As they fight to survive they seem to lose each other along the way.

This is a pretty grim story. Tension, desperation, in fighting, looming starvation, guilt, and above all hopelessness and death. Yet the survivors keep surviving through it all.

Blake and Gabriel know they belong together but knowing and doing are two separate things. I thought the disconnect they experienced was well done as was their path back to each other. While the story was theirs, the people around them were important to the feeling of survival that carried the story forward. Very strong personalities, some of whom carried the story on their shoulders.

Sense of doom and gloom but still hopeful. I so hope there are future stories.

I received an arc of this book.

Great post-apocalyptic romance with lots of action and expolsions.

I loved this book! I read the first book in the series before this so I would know what was happening and who the characters were. I highly recommend reading both of these books in order. The writing is great with a camaraderie between the side characters that only gets stronger as time passes. Blake and Gabriel are both easy to care about, and they each have issues from their pasts that could derail their relationship. Thankfully, they keep trying and hold onto each other as touchstones in a scary reality. If you love post-apocalyptic stories with lots of action, friendship, and romance, then you should definitely read this series. This author was new to me, but I am now going to binge read their other books.

[Joy Chapman · Rating 5 out of 5]

why am I reading Sci-fi? Because Jacqueline McCall wrote it and I follow where she leads. Once again, if you discount the alien creatures trying to destroy all mankind, McCall weaves a great story between a commander Gabe and a medic Blake. It is unfortunate that everyone is trying to believe Blake is a doctor and he is miserable because he had no supplies, equipment, or education to live up to that. It is equally unfortunate that Gabe has to go on death-defying missions to find supplies and he is hitting diminishing returns on these missions. In between, these two try to remember that they love each other and that there will be better days. Like I said, when McCall writes it, it is brilliant.

Life goes on after the alien invasion. Gabriel is back and forth on missions to try to find weaknesses or advantages and terrified he'll lose Blake. Blake is feeling helpless as an EMT trying to be a doctor, no medications, losing patients. Life is hard with little positives and it puts a strain on their relationship. It's hard to have a romance in the middle of a war fighting aliens but this succeeds. Danger, lack of modern amenities and not much food, terror and little pockets of humanity combine with want, desire, humor and love to make an exciting, thrilling novel. It scares me reading this apocalypse brought to life in realistic moments. It's an intriguing, frightening book, another Independence Day. I received a copy of this through BookSirens and this is my voluntary opinion.

[Plaguedoll · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a great, emotional continuation of the series!

At this point in the story, Blake is really struggling hard, and he takes a lot of it out on Gabriel. While Gabriel does not want Blake to go out in the field with them is part of the problem, the fact that he’s lost people under his care is hitting him the hardest. I felt so bad for Blake, but at times I wanted to shake him and tell him to get his sh*t together 🤣

This series is SO well written and immediately sucks you in. The characters, the world-building, the tensions, drama, love... It’s really hard to find much to criticize.

If you love post-apocalyptic, sci-fi, survival, and/or action stories/movies, you’ll probably love these books! This series would make a great TV miniseries!

[Ida Umphers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another wonderful blend of rugged survival, post-alien invasion story with the love story developing between Blake and Gabriel in the most awful conditions possible emotional and physical. The description of their fight for survival in the brutal winter, the development of the rest of the world and the other characters holed up together trying to survive brings you right into the action. Gabriel and Blake are both trying to save everyone in their own way, while knowing deep down inside where they refuse to look that they can't while also trying to protect each other without playing favorites and that adds additional strain to their relationship. I am attached to all these characters and can't wait to see what happens to them as their struggles continue.

[... · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yesssssssss!! This duology was intense in a very big-screen summer blockbuster way, which I personally find absolutely addicting. The romance took a bit of a backseat to all the world-saving, but as hard as it was to read in this installment, the emotional challenges in Blake and Gabriel's relationship during the first half of this one made it feel more real, even in the midst of an alien invasion*, than a lot of contemporary romance I read. I loved that they got their HEA, and the epilogue makes me super hopeful that the author will come back to this world and give us Phin and Tommy's story, or Alvarez and Beaumont's, or really anything 😂 ... including eventually finding out if *it actually *is* an invasion!

[Claudia · Rating 5 out of 5]

oh my god this was a wild ride.

the first book was full of action and world exploration and one surprise after another

this one was darker, more character and relationship oriented with the big question of "what to do after survival?" always hanging in the back of your mind.

it also shows, even if not on page, that humans are not good and what can happen if you take away law and authorities.


nevertheless I loved it and it kept me awake because I could not put it away and get it out of my mind.

I really hope there will be a third book and Blake and Gabriel will be the MCs in it.

Rally Point Zero is the second book in the Team Oh Sh!t series. This series should be read in order because it features a established couple. We are back with Gabriel and Blake for more of the story. There is so much emotion in this book. I really felt bad for Blake as he had to watch so many deaths he should have been able to help. This was another action packed story. I'm so happy that Gabriel and Blake have each other and can continue growing their relationship. I loved all the characters, some more than others. This was an amazing story that Jacqueline McCall told in a way that made it feel real. I can't wait to see what Jacqueline McCall comes up with next. I would definitely recommend this book and series as 5 star reads.

This story picks up a couple months after the end of the first and gets a bit heavier. There's still that fun action/adventure movie feeling, but it's mixed in with Blake and Gabriel coming to terms with everything that has happened to them since the aliens invaded. The emotional struggles of the characters felt believable and flowed well into a very satisfying ending. I found this book really made me think about how many things in our lives rely on technology or electricity. If you liked the first book, this one is definitely worth checking out.

This must be read in order.
A lot of this book was really grim and heartbreaking - the results of constantly grinding, loss of vital resources many people would have taken for granted before the invasion, and what people are and are not willing to do to survive. But also, a lot of this book showed the strength of found family, taking back agency, and choosing life. The great world building continues from the first book, as does the excellent character development. Blake and Gabriel are so well written, and the pops of sweetness and humour in the story against the action and grimness were lovely.

[Reader]

Very interesting sequel the first half of the book is concerned much more with trauma and survivors guilt it then goes into a more romantic action packed storyline. If I have one quibble it is that I really love the other characters in this book and I wish that they were being given more space. I would be quite happy to read a whole book dedicated to Tommy and Phin and to Judd and Victoria.

But that aside this is a great series.

Second part of a duology, where the group is still trying to survive the invasion of multiple aggressive alien species. The first part of the story focusses a lot on the survival attempts and the fight Blake and Gabriel have with their PTSD and communicating. The last part was full of really exciting action, with the group figuring out ways to disable the aliens. While this ended in a very satisfying HFN, Team Oh Sh!t is such an amazing group, I'd love to read more about them.

At the start of this book, the war is over at least for now, Blake, Gabriel & the rest of the team & civilians are safe for now. the gang is trying to overcome both mental & physical understandings of what happened & what else could happen. The alien ships are out there but have been quiet. Supplies are low, relationships strained. Low to medium angst. Well written.

Blake and Gabe really were heroes of this alien attack. They could be in a better place in their relationship, but both men are so dedicated to helping everyone else too. I could feel Blake's desperation at not having what he needed to save people's lives and I had so much respect for Gabe as he put himself on the line to try to get Blake what he needed. I was happy that through it all I could still feel their love for each other and their hope for the future. This one ends in a good place, but I would enjoy being able to continue in this world with Gabe and Blake.

Even though there are doubts about survival and decisions that have to be made, things keep moving forward. The secondary characters add so much to this story. I hope there will be more to come with other characters. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. I loved it and I loved it some more!!!!! Not enough stars!

I stumbled upon this new to me author after a recommendation from Amazon for the first book in this series and I’m so glad I did. I absolutely loved the first book and this one was even better.

Nonstop action with Team Oh Sh!t. We get some new characters and of course our regular crew. The writing creates a vivid picture that’s easy to see and the whole book reads like an action movie. You still get some romance and lots of heart but non of it’s cliche.

Here’s hoping this series keeps going…
