Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings to spotlight highly anticipated books. It is based on the Waiting on Wednesday meme which used to be hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
FROM GOODREADS: The second book in a thrilling sci-fi action adventure, set on Donovan, a treacherous alien planet where corporate threats and dangerous creatures imperil the lives of the planet's colonists.
New York Times bestselling author W. Michael Gear returns us to the world he laid out with such sure purpose in Outpost. The struggle for survival sharpens as resources dwindle, technology fails, and the grim reality of life on Donovan unfolds.
Supervisor Kalico Aguila has bet everything on a fragile settlement far south of Port Authority. There, she has carved a farm and mine out of wilderness. But Donovan is closing in. When conditions couldn't get worse, a murderous peril descends out of Donovan's sky--one that will leave Kalico bleeding and shattered.
Talina Perez gambles her life and reputation in a bid to atone for ruthlessly murdering a woman's husband years ago. Ironically, saving Dya Simonov may save them all.
Lieutenant Deb Spiro is losing it, and by killing a little girl's pet alien, she may have precipitated disaster for all. In the end, the only hope will lie with a "lost" colony, and the alien-infested reflexes possessed by Security Officer Talina Perez.
On Donovan, only human beings are more terrifying than the wildlife.
WHY I CAN'T WAIT: I know my review for the first book in this series, "Outpost" hasn't posted yet but needless to say, I feel in love with this science fiction series and can't wait until the next installment releases. I have Tammy@Books, Bones & Buffy to thank for convincing me to give this series a try and I believe it was on her blog that I first discovered this beautiful sequel. This series definitely deserves more book love!
It's always exciting to find a new series that you just enjoy straight away and can't wait for the next one!
ReplyDeleteI said the same thing on someone else's blog just this week.
DeleteOhhh, you are hooked! I saw this on Tammy's blog too -- Chuckles is right - it's the BEST when a book grabs you like this!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pick sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenea.
DeleteYes! It really does deserve more love, hopefully between us we can propel these books to bestsellerdom, well maybe not, but we can try😁
ReplyDeleteWe can at least do out part!
DeleteI haven't read much scifi at all but I eagerly await your review for the first book in this series. Sounds like you loved it!
ReplyDeleteI did.
DeleteAWESOME pick, Barb!! Although I'm not too fond of the cover, the plot certainly sounds riveting!! I also like the fact that you're interested in reading more SF. Good for you!! As Mr. Spock, would say, "Live long and prosper!" And Luke Skywalker adds, "May the Force be with you!" :) :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!! Thanks as well for commenting on my own CWW post!! HUGS TO YOU AND THE PUPS, AND WOOF, WOOF TO THEM!!! <3 <3 <3 :) :) :)
I think if you read the first one, and saw how well the book fit with the cover, you might feel differently toward this one. Seeing this cover makes me curious about all the wonderful things that await! I've always loved Mr. Spock.
DeleteThough this is not my genre, I need to give it a try as I know you really liked it and Tammy likes it so maybe I will. :)
ReplyDeleteYou never know :)
DeleteOoh I've seen Outpost mentioned a few times but haven't read it yet, but this sequel looks amazing. That cover too...
ReplyDeleteGive it a try Greg. I think you'd like it.
DeleteKnowing that you love book I and looking at that cover make me think this is a series for me.

I've always liked it in movies, but guess I never gave books a chance.
