The Titans: Alex Hunter 12

by Greig Beck

In a forgotten age, the old gods fell.

Zeus crushed the ancient Titans in a war that shook the heavens, then hurled the vanquished into an abyss of ice and torment buried far beneath the underworld itself, sealed forever. Or so he believed.

Now, high in Crete's mountains, archaeologists have unearthed a crumbling manuscript that promises whoever opens the gates to Tartarus will command the unstoppable beings capable of bringing the modern world to its knees.

Linguist Matt Kearns discovers irrefutable evidence that a reclusive billionaire believes the myth is real and plans to free the Titans.

Only one man can stop Alex Hunter, the legendary Arcadian, leading the elite HAWC commandos into the depths of the Earth to confront horrors never faced before. But victory demands the impossible - Alex must find and recruit Zeus himself.


In this thunderous collision of ancient myth and cutting-edge military fury, Greig Beck unleashes a relentless, blood-soaked epic tale that races from buried Tartarean ruins to the marble arenas of Olympus itself, leaving you breathless until the final, cataclysmic page is turned.

This series has never been the most grounded in science or history, but this was a bit too fantastical for me.

[James Buckley · Rating 5 out of 5]

When I saw the previews and cover for this book, I thought gut “Cool - the Arcadian versus mythological Greek gods and monsters.” And that is exactly what I got, in a very satisfying way. Greig Beck wastes no time in this book, throwing our heroic HAWCs (and the rest of the world) not peril within the first few chapters. And this being a Beck book, you just know there are going to be some subterranean exploits! Beyond the full-speed-ahead action, there are some interesting subplot developments, and a few mythological cameos that will make you smile. Beck’s Arcadian books never let me down.

Great to get my hands on another Alex hunter book. What a start, it was absolutely fantastic the robot attack set piece at the start. The main threat was quickly revealed and things started well there on. My main complaint was the middle part of the book. It lost a lot of steam moving around pieces on the chess-board and not a lot of focus.

The main mission started way into the second half. Previously I loved the books in the series when the missing started in earnest and there was a clear focus which was missing from this book. The action moved globally in many places. Even at 80% there wasn't a clear resolution in sight and I thought this would be like Devil's peak, continued in the second half. However things were wrapped up pretty fast in the end which felt a bit rushed.

The big bad Kronos didn't get to do much. It felt like Alex hunter got a cheat code in the end in the form of Zeus.

The antagonist in the first half who were trying to free Kronos also met an untimely and underwhelming end.

Having dissed on it so much, there were many bright spotlights, did I mention the explosive start. The explosive travel into the first Olympics in Greece, greek gods and most of all the return of an old frenemy who may yet be redeemed.

I can't wait to see where the series would now lead.

HAWCs vs Titans

I know the author is Australian but there was one of the most American moments ever in this book. The team uses a bomb to stop a hurricane. Floridians reading this are all excited for their next hurricane. As far as the rest of the book goes, it was pretty good. The initial villians have 0 build up or explanation for their motivations, which was pretty disappointing. An old enemy returns but I doubt it's the last we've seen of them. The ending gets wrapped up pretty quickly and could have been better.

Alex Hunter and his HAWCs return, this time old friend Matt Kearns asks for help as the Titans from Greek mythology have been found and released into the world. Alex will need all the help he can get, could that be from Zeus, who originally imprisoned the Titans.

3.5⭐

[BookzBookzBookz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Where do I even begin- The Titans brought not only Alex, Sam and Casey to the brink of the world's end, but Matt Kearns was pulled back into the fold again. The Titans brought back the fact that though Alex, the Arcadian, is a formidable soldier, he can't beat them all; he doesn't stop trying either. With Cronos and his minions out in the world, causing havoc, they also have to deal with the cantankerous yet unyielding temperament of Zeus, father of all the gods. It takes a while to get him to see his help is needed- no, wanted.

The Titans was the biggest novel by Greig Beck, to date! It's full of amazing, mythological adventure, and not to mention fleets of fully armoured ships and such being sucked into the belly of the beast. What is not to love? Each book brings on fears unimagined and laughs by the minute. I mean, how could you not laugh when you're fighting alongside gods? Alex Hunter and his team of HAWCS rule!

4.5 ⭐️
The perfect campy crossover of sci-fi and fantasy that I always love..
Although, after 12 books I’m noticing a little decline in writing and physical book quality 🤔

A Fun Ride

Action, Action, and more action. Entertainment from start to finish. A great lead in to many more adventures with the man made superhero’s.
