When life starts to look like it’s all sunshine and rainbows, you can bet there’s a storm on the horizon.
Terry has the solution to his magical issue. All he has to do is put it into action before another case grabs the team’s attention.
No such luck. Not one, but two sticky situations land in their laps, and Angelina is determined to meddle in Terry’s love life.
But Terry left his heart among the stars…
…and their new enemy is not all he seems.
When secret societies come out of the shadows, it’s bad news for everyone.
Terry, Angelina, Charley, Farrah, and Dave head to Washington at General Lappert’s request. Their problems mount up as a group on the opposite end of the political spectrum threatens a senator.
Conspiracy and intrigue throw up roadblocks at every turn, and the team needs to pull out all the stops to stay on top of the situation.
Can Angelina work with dwindling resources? Can Terry avoid getting distracted by a voice from the past?
I’m not going to waste much time reviewing this book since the author screwed it up big time for me by nonsensical woke, green preaching. I am really disappointed about this.
This series has been mediocre with a few three star books, one two star and, now, a one star one. Even if the author had not screwed it up by putting bullshit green preaching it it would not have reached more than two stars for me. There is too much politics and jumping around in the book.
I could have lived with this idea of nuclear radiation being able to recharge Terry’s magic even if it is nonsensical and far fetched but, unfortunately, the author goes on some anti-nuclear crusade.
He is harping about sites worldwide (it is clearly implied that there are a lot) which is so irradiated that people cannot access it and then he goes for the big whammy claiming “people, of any species, had no business messing with nuclear technology”. Obviously he does not understand that “nuclear technology” is a lot more than old nuclear reactors and for starters. Given that even Germany, who completely screwed their energy production, now realizes that they have to backpedal on their idiotic decision to close the power plants and make themselves dependent on Russia, this crap is just blatant ignorant nonsense. That does it for me, this is uneducated woke, green bullshit and I’m not having any of it.
The next book in the series is called Nuclear Deterrent which does not really give me much hope. Since I have read 5 books in the series already I am going to give the series one more chance but if there is more of this ignorant nonsense in the next one this series goes on the do-not-read and rubbish shelf at the same time.
I love Terry, Angelina, Charlie, Farrah and Dave. What a great group they are. This time the problem was killing the alien baddie and Terry didn't have time to make sure he'd killed him, oops! AND Terry managed to hear from "the love of his life" from another planet, once he got his magic back, and someone wants her dead. How is Terry going to save Danika?
No romance and the F-bomb was used 51 times. I wish Michael Anderle would write all ADULT books and not so many books for teens. AND all his adult books were on audible.)
As for the narration: P.J. Ochlan does a fabulous job!
As a rule, science fiction and fantasy are not my favorite reading genre. I worked hard to find one that sounded interesting to participate in my library's reading bingo game. I know this series has a very high rating among readers but there wasn't anything about this book that I enjoyed. It could be that this series would make a good movie or series of movies but as a read, I had a difficult time maintaining interest. If magic or supernatural is ensconced in a good mystery then usually I can enjoy it. Just not my cup of tea, this one.
Terry is given the opportunity to do some serious ass kicking to some jerks who richly deserve to have more than just that done to them, but Terry feels required to show some mercy when the situation allows.
Angelina finds that someone is trying to track her down, using better than average skill. The result of this involves the group interacting with some unexpected people as they work to solve some apparently disconnected situations.
The series is terrific and the characters are the best. Watching Terry come into his powers is the big reveal in this book. Hope we have another 5 books.
