The Watcher #2
The Time of Suppression
From bestselling author Saxon Andrew comes the second book in the Watcher Series. The Watcher has been observing humans since the time their early ancestors lived in the trees in Africa. His ship had a catastrophic failure of the star drive and he was stranded on Earth. He spent most of those centuries just observing humans, but he was responsible for the arrival of Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals by manipulating the DNA of several tribes of early hominids; he learned after the fact that he made a mistake. He intended to stop humans from attacking other humans and his experiment failed dismally. Instead, they were more highly intelligent and learned how to kill other humans more effectively. From that point on, he stayed out of human development.
Until humans planned a massive thermonuclear war. He intended to just let it happen and allow some other species to evolve to rule Earth. However, he discovered that a young human woman was pregnant with his child; that changed everything. He stopped the nuclear attack and placed a suppression field around earth preventing any weapons from operating. If humans intended to kill each other in the future, they would be forced to do it the old-fashioned way; spears, swords, bows and arrows and all the ancient weapons. He notified Earth that humans would be quarantined to their planet and not allowed to enter the billions of civilizations out in the universe until they quit killing each other. He knew that this change wouldn’t happen quickly and that millions were going to die before things turned for the better.
This is the story of what it was like to live in the Age of Suppression.

The Watcher and Friends face Challenges
What an exciting second book in the Watcher series! Much growth is needed on the part of the human race.
Our characters go through heavy ethical dilemmas, rapid intellectual expansion and face decisions no humans have ever had to before.
The end of this installment leaves the reader on the literal edge of the seat, waiting to see the fate of humanity.

Curious at first where this book was taking the series
First part of the book seemed to be a short story on its own.. Skip to the next part and I was starting to think the same thing. Connections started to be made. Plot twists one after the other all the way to the end. Nice read.

Excellent finish
The first book was good, this one was better. I give it 5 stars because it actually has an ending that left me satisfied but has room for more in the future. In my opinion that rarely happens.

Major cliffhanger
I don't know whether it is intentional or not, but the book ended it "life is good" but actually it is a major cliffhanger! I want the next book!

Excellent
Good story, but I wonder about the human super genius. I guess one is bound to come along one of these days.
