Gunnery Sergeant Torin Kerr is a Confederation Marine's marine. Sidelined since her last mission, she jumped at the chance to go to Cruciblethe Marine Corps training planet. While the exercise is underway, the drones begin acting aggressively, without regard to fail-safes or their programming. Kerr finds herself caught in a desperate fight to keep a platoon of Marine recruits alive...
My thoughts:
Torin is in a hot mess as usual. In this book she escorts a major and his doctor to a marine training planet, and of course there are a bunch of recruits too that will finish their training. And then boom the planet turns on them. But Torin can sure handle herself, and see to that people around her stays alive. She is so very kick-ass.
But what I liked the most was that Torin started to question things, and I never questioned things either but now I did that too. Humans and other beings help The Elder races fight The others. But, here is the but, why are the fighting? I realized that I did not know, cos yes Torin did not know. And only The Elder races has ever been in peace talk. Sure I wondered about The Others before but now I really wonder. And because of that I want more, because I need to know now.
Of course there are other things going on that I can't get into, why the planet turned on them. Things that has to do with book 2 and of course the whole aspect of Torin wondering what the hell is going on.
Conclusion:

Kick-ass action, a few dilemmas on the way ;) trust me on that. And did I say action? Lots of action and shooting.

DeleteI like that she starts questioning things in this one! I'm a reader who can't stop asking questions, so it's always nice when the characters start to do it for me:)
ReplyDeleteit was well done as I did not question things either and the boom..I need to question things
DeleteThe plot thickens...I like how the story seems to be drawing you in more. So many series start to get annoying as they go on - not more interesting.
ReplyDeleteSadly many just gets so very very blah, I always hate when that happens
DeleteCool, I like kick-ass action! ;)
ReplyDeleteA hot mess that can get things done. My kind of heroine!

ReplyDeleteOh that evil Tbr pile
DeleteI like that she makes you question things, and where there's kick-ass action, there's always a good time! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt would make a good movie ;)
DeleteLots of shooting huh, I love that in my books.
ReplyDeleteLol, yes a lot of it
DeleteThe action sounds awesome

ReplyDeleteLol, now that would be big
DeleteThat cover reminds me of some of covers like this:

You're right
DeleteThis more action sci-fi then? A bit pulpy? Because I am kinda cool with that.
ReplyDeleteYes more action sci-fi, def
DeleteThis sounds like something that would be awesome on the big screen. Love that Torin asks questions that maybe I wouldn't think to. Great review!
ReplyDeleteI am soooo curious now
DeleteThis sounds like an action packed series.
ReplyDeleteYou can say that again
DeleteI haven't read very many action-packed novels recently, so this seems like a winner. Thanks for putting it on my radar - I wouldn't have heard of it otherwise!
ReplyDeleteCool :D
DeleteI really should try this series, I really liked her other ones, a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, those I have not read
DeleteAnd now I do not know what those were..
ReplyDeleteSounds good B, one day ... one day...
ReplyDeleteAye one day
DeleteThey are all like that, sighs
ReplyDeleteI just read this a couple of months ago, and I loved it too. I still need to finish book 2--I put it down for a while b/c it was creeping me out LOL.
ReplyDeleteLOL, what could that have been...the aliens?
DeleteSo this is like military sci fi - I've only recognized her name from a vampire book on my shelf. sometimes a hot mess is fun so I'll have to find the first book and see if the description strikes my fancy.
ReplyDeleteYep...military sci-fi sums it up, thanks :)
DeleteOh those Blood ties books I have not read, bit everyone else have
I love the kick arse. :) And sounds like a great read I might enjoy! Thanks for sharing, I need to give this author a try one day.
