This was a very clear improvement on the previous couple of volumes in the series, especially the godawful previous novel where Julie Shackleford became an almost parody of a Conservative's idea of a strong woman a la Tomi Lahren and Lauren Boebert. Be prepared for several surprises and one hell of a whopper at the end.Ī wonderful performance and story. The threads I spoke of earlier are presented and threaded together forging forward toward the impending calamity. By that I mean that the larger story barely moves forward. This novel is also a bridge in the larger story. Full of big guns and terrifying, relentless monsters. Once secured, MHI must defend it and its host at all costs. The next few days are a running battle to secure the Ward Stone.
The thief is a new player but shares a history with MHI. Things soon go south as the Ward Stone is stolen all parties give chase. MHI isn't the only interested party though. Word has gotten around that a Ward Stone is being sold on the black market. The story opens in the middle of a stakeout. As a fan who has read everything up to this point, I cannot help but smile and nod at everything and everyone included here. Correia brings all of these threads together seamlessly in this new book. Having written eight novels and a collection of short stories with a trilogy written by John Ringo, all set within the same world, there is a wealth of story and characters to weave together. Wyman does a fantastic job gliding from one voice to the next, one accent to the next. At first, I didn't like it, but it grew on me and now I cannot imagine Pitt sounding any other way. Being told from the perspective of Owen Pitt, most of the story Wyman uses Pitt's 'voice'. This was an Audible book performed by Oliver Wyman. Now, I am one in a legion of fans clambering for new books the moment we finish the latest. I put it off until I decided it was time, and boy had I been missing out! I had so much fun, that I kept reading. You see, I have this problem with recommendations: I take them into account, but it may be a while until I come around and decide it's time to read one. I think at the time there were at least four books. The proprietor of a local bookstore initially brought this series to my attention.
