World Apart #2
The Legend and the Lioness
Ace pilot Victoria Belic returns with the pulse-pounding sequel to The Legion and the Lioness.
As Titan command positions themselves to stop the android space fleet hurling toward their moon, Victoria finds her wings clipped as she’s thrust into a ground war against a cybernetic horde known as, the Mave.
With humanity’s fate in jeopardy, an alliance is formed between humans from both Titan and Earth to fight the machines. But there is a wildcard, the Engineer. A legendary swordsman of the Legion knights that wields a blade of fire. Victoria is forced to tread carefully as not only do her enemies pose a threat, but potentially, her allies as well.

Great follow up!
The Legend and the Lioness is book two in the series and make sure you read them in order. I really love this sci fi novel. There is a twisted doctor that takes nanobots in the body to a whole new dimension causing people to become monsters. One one person survived the change and has a metal arm and enhance speed, healing , and strength. He is also the husband to a woman he thinks is dead but really is alive. They got separated while she was in deep sleep in space. They finally find each other but it's not who she thought it would be.
Lots of action, monster attacks, androids, cyborgs, intrigue, and a touch of romance.

One hell of a ride
I was totally unprepared for the story and how it developed but an enjoyable read. I hope others agree. Yikes

Did not expect the story to take this turn, but it paid off. Luther is a fascinating character.

The Lioness series continues to prevail
I enjoyed this book just as much as the first. The story telling painted a great mental picture for me and the pace was always consistent and maintained my interest, never dragging or disconnecting my focus/attention due to unnecessary distractions or deviations to the plot of the story, which some writers fall prey to due to dwindling direction choices at points in a story. It's an entertaining read! I can't wait to continue this journey s the third book!

Woeful editing, poor proof reading, terrible English
Didn't finish...storyline became uninteresting..spelling mistakes throughout and, quite simply, poor use of English made it too irritating to continue. "I could less" instead of "I couldn't care less"...less is not a verb. One character wore a tuxedo and jeans..nope, nope he didnt. He wore a tuxedo jacket and jeans. A tuxedo is a whole suit. Ploy to overthrow instead of plot...missing words in middle of sentences. Needs to employ serious editor and proof reader for future works as think there's talent there

Quick writing, not getting bogged down in minutia, and it's a great exciting read. There's a surprise that I didn't see coming and the knights are upended. Who's good and bad and will Xena really go back to Titan? RD Armstrong has a good sense of military character/culture building and I'm enjoying the story. This series is a break from what I normally read but Captain Victoria Belic is somebody I'd go into a fight with. On to book three.

This series is getting so good, love how it expanding and developing. You think the characters can’t get any more badass. Well, they can.
The Author is adding so many different layers to each character, not just the main ones. It makes you get invested in most of the characters, you want them to survive, you want them to thrive. If that is even possible in that world.

Oh boy, that is a lot of eyebrows lowered and eyebrows raised for one book!
Plot is good, but writing is very amateur, needs a lot of practice and improvement. The author has good potential
