Following the destruction of their two vessels near Cuba, Reisner and his weary band of survivors take refuge on a small island where they plan their next move to eliminate the alphas using Selene’s recent scientific discovery. With Connelly, Ivins, Runa, and the old crew reuniting in a daring effort to obtain the West Nile Virus samples from Mexico City, the eclectic group of operators put into motion a plan that will hopefully turn the tide of the war.
Meanwhile in the Yucatan jungle, the super-alpha, Nick, has shifted his focus from eradication of the human species to a gruesome plan, that if it unfolds, will allow for cultivation of the Others as a long-term food source while the hybrid creature, Abby, becomes a pivotal figure in the evolution of the brood.
Book 7 kept the action going, throwing in some twists, some very close calls and a couple of surprises. Can’t wait to see how Mr. Sawyer pulls it all together in book 8 and hopefully saves the human race.
I could not put this book down. The race to save humanity has begun! Will and Selena race to find the West Nile Virus needed to put an end to the alphas. Their team must battle drones, alphas, and even a huge snake creature. Nick is changing tactics, as he realizes humans are needed for food. A connection between Nick and Abby leads to a new type of offspring that may help doom the human race. Will along with the remaining US military will fight to the death to stop Nick. The battles continue in this 7th book of the series and the characters and storyline are exciting. I was drawn into the story immediately and unable to stop until I reached the end. This is a great series! I highly recommend the series and waiting for the next book in this action packed series!
As always, JT Sawyer tells a compelling story!! The continuum of Reisner & Co's journey to find something to fight the Para's with is thrilling, frightening and compelling. Will humanity survive? Sometimes I was full of despair, at others hopeful that all would work out in the end, a fantastic story. Highly Recommended!!
