Shadowmen Objective

Curve of Humanity #2

by Maquel A. Jacob

After Rellia’s General Tartha gives mankind a timeline to prepare for war, General Perrara of the United States and Professor Makoto of Japan brainstorm a resolution to level the playing field. They create the Shadow Organization with the help of underground intelligence networks and four alien warriors as trainers. Despite being Earth’s best kept secret, it becomes a pillar of strength.
But, the inside is rotten, built on prejudice and weak laws towards the hybrid offspring. The alien warriors also appear to have ulterior motives for helping mankind. Perrara and Makoto start to ask themselves if they were more optimistic than realistic in their endeavors.
Will the organization straighten itself out and thrive as a beacon of hope for humanity? Time is not on our side.

Reviews

[Dennis · Rating 2 out of 5]

The author claims to be writing optimism, but the first two books in this series portray people as utterly miserable creatures in both attitude and moral compass. The books are filled with rape, although it isn't entirely clear what the purpose of these events serve the story, other to remind you that the characters are mostly pretty bad people. I'm going to find it hard to pick up the next book in the series.

[Karen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Adding in some vicious aliens to train humans for hopeful survival in the upcoming war, this book is darker than the first. Too many people, especially the alien/human children, are sacrificed for power. However, still want to see how it all turns out.
