Alien infestation and an interstellar extermination fleet threaten Earth. Only the Phase Titan stands in the way.
The Swarm is mortal. Ethan, with the help of his Harmonics, destroyed one outbreak and harvested its power. The problem? Ethan wasn’t Earth’s first Phase Titan, and his predecessors did him no favors by scattering the Titan armaments.
The only lead is a ransacked university research lab taken over by an Archive dedicated to preserving mankind’s knowledge. Somewhere in this vast collection, the Titan armaments hide. And it’s under attack by an anti-technology mob convinced humanity was the architect of the apocalypse.
Worse, they find signs of the Swarm.
Who are this professor and her student, both touched by the Swarm yet still human? Hybrids, they call themselves. The result of experimenting with Swarm biology. The key to mastering the alien infestation threatening Earth. Something of theirs is missing too—a priceless biological specimen that might just be humanity’s greatest weapon against the Swarm.
It’s a race to recover the Titan armaments and find the Hybrids’ specimen before it dies, all while Ethan’s Titan presence draws the growing Swarm menace to finish what the mob has started. And somewhere in all this, the Archive demands that Ethan find, of all things, a printer.
Drones, babes, and interstellar bugs—the Phase Titan goes back to school.

The book was enjoyable and fun to read, but felt a bit rushed in places compared to the first. There were time skips, which are understandable, but details glazed over about what happened during that time, when there seemed to be some developments relevant to the story.
Character decisions weren't bad, but the new additions were thrown in, and while they had decent stories, I felt like they joined up with MC too readily and easily.
Author was trying to cram too much I to one book. Would have been better spread over two instead.
I liked this book. I liked the characters and the story. Though, I have two problems. 1. Some of the scenes drag on while others are way too quick. 2. The ending is just there. It's like the author hasn't decided if he wants to end the series here or not.
I do recommend this book, but I'm not sure if I will continue this series.
There was a lot going on in this one. They need a macgufin, then a different one, then no somebody else has what they need. A lot of concepts and weirdness. Overall it is okay. The addition of relationships felt just way too fast. Smut was okay. Ending leads a much bigger fight next. I'll probably read to see what happens.
Search and destroy?? Was that all that was left. Great next jump in to another rolling adventure. Great to see another angle on how and where humanity has fallen. Shouldn't miss the next one, seems like a few surprises are in store.
What amazing storytelling throughout this series so far!!! Dynamic and interesting characters with relatable wants,needs and knowledge!!! An amazing world has been invented for our imagination to enjoy!!!!
