Summary

The Earth lies shaken in the aftermath of a conspiracy. Some of the smartest minds on the planet have striven for and died in an effort to scour the skies of four vast alien satellites, but their success has brought a terrible vengeance down upon us.

While alien agents stalk the Earth, a team of exhausted scientists and military outcasts struggle to fight them among a planet on the brink - the brink of plague, the brink of war, and the brink of an invasion larger than they can possibly imagine. But they have allies. Two of the alien agents have forsaken their homes, their families, and their very species to stop the greatest act of genocide any of them has ever known. They carry with them the knowledge we need to save humanity and take us into a new and marvelous age.

But Lana and the remaining enemy agents are far from defeated. As they begin to reap havoc among the diseased and bereft, Neal, Ayala, and Barrett must find a way to achieve the impossible - by fair means or foul, they must unite the world's disparate nations. And they must do so quickly, for the Armada is fast approaching, and behind the great fires of their decelerating engines, the huge fleet is readying itself for war.

Extras...

This audiobook is not an exact copy of the book, but it isn't really abridged either. That said, the extra words given by the narrator do actually enhance the story, so all is forgiven. Looking forward to the next and final book in this series. 5/5

Too much politics, too little Sci-Fi

Loved the first book, but couldn't even finish this one. Bored with repetition of cold war all over again.

a great secuence to the first book

Not as strong as the first book but still set above sci-fi books of it's kind. Being Russian I've struggled with often very pro-western stance and numerous one sided historical references. Shame concuest of America is never referenced in the book.
Ones again an outstanding narration by R C Bray!
looking forvard the next one

Disappointing

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

No. I had high hopes for this book because the first one was so good but it just didn't live up to the first book.

Would you be willing to try another book from Stephen Moss? Why or why not?

Yes. The first Book in this series was excellent, well researched and was wrapped in a great story.

What does R. C. Bray bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

R. C. Bray was brilliant as usual.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I found it difficult to really connect to to the story because it just didn't seem realistic in any sense. In fact the "real world" environment was completely unbelievable - I am not referring to the sci-fi aspects of the story (see additional comments below).

Any additional comments?

It was difficult to really become immersed in the story because many elements were just not realistic. The mark of a great sci-fi story is for it to be believable. Can it be far-fetched? ... Yes!

Can it be incredible? ....Of course!

Can even be highly improbable? ...Possibly!

However, it should never be unbelievable!

Why did I feel this story was unbelievable? Well surprisingly it has nothing to do with the sci-fi aspects of the tale.

Let me give you an example:
I can't understand how a guy, with no military experience, zero political clout or past experience in foreign affairs, who just a few years previously was a socially-awkward nobody, was allowed to hold a position were he was heading a task force (and having the last say in that task force) which was responsible for military, espionage and foreign relations.

How could this simple guy have so much power that he could even put a USA president in his place??? I mean this guy was making important foreign relation decisions when the world was on the brink of war.

In the real world this guy would be lucky if he was even allowed access to the task force let alone run the entire show and be able to muscle out the governments of Super Powers - regardless of how pivotal he was in the previous events.

This made the story completely unbelievable for me as in the real world if someone like this was given free reign over such decision making the world would descend into chaos pretty quickly.

The first book introduced incredible technology and a far-fetched (and entertaining) story but it took place in a very believable world. This book just looks as though the author lost the story in self-indulgence by keeping characters that should have been dropped or at least set into a more realistic role.

Blown away!

This is a fantastic follow up to fear the sky. Lots of detail, depth in plot and character development. Performance of RC Bray is excellent and really adds to the story. Cant wait for the final installment

Great plot, lots of fighting

I really loved the first of this series, so was excited to begin the second.

I enjoyed the plot but found the whole thing just way too fighty for my taste. I'm not interested in blow-by-blow accounts of battles, and graphic descriptions of things/people getting shot. However, I suspect that's more to do with my taste than any failure of the book.
I don't want to spoil anything for anyone who likes that sort of thing, but I found it difficult to really believe in the role our hero ends up in. It didn't fit with the character I felt we'd been introduced to in book 1, and I think contributed to my general dissatisfaction.

The narration is just wonderful - very engaging. I wouldn't have stuck with this to the end with a different narrator.

Overall, if you liked book 1 and like fighty stuff I'm pretty sure you'll love it.

Not as good as the first

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I think the book would have benefitted from being slightly shorter, I felt the whole thing was drawn out and a lot of the story felt like unnecessary filler.

If you’ve listened to books by Stephen Moss before, how does this one compare?

The first book in the trilogy worked better in my opinion. It was fast paced and everything that happened seemed to be relevant. This book unfortunatley didn't have that same feel, it dragged in a lot of places.

What does R. C. Bray bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The narrator was great, he was able to try and keep the reader engaged and I enjoyed his style of reading.

Any additional comments?

I didn't feel this book was as good as the first, personally I felt it started well, then a large chunk of the middle felt like filler and it became more intersting towards the end again. However, I did also feel as though the ending was rather abrupt. I understand that it's a trilogy but each book should still have its own conclusion. I also felt that the book was longer than it needed to be, everything with Lana and Mikhail (listened to audiobook so sorry if wrong spelling) seemed really drawn out, far more than it needed and then the final agent, whose name I don't even remember was barely mentioned before being obliterated. There was also a really bad overuse of the phrase 'this way and that' to the point that I cringed every time I heard it. I still enjoyed the general concept and plot but I felt everything could have been far more concise, which would have helped to increase the pace of the book, making it a more 'edge of the seat' kind of read.

Yawnnnn - Filler for 3rd Book

Not even a good narrator can make this book anything but monotonous. It reads like a publisher said to the author, "Brilliant storyline. Now go write that into 3 books so we have a nice little series".

Basically, it's about preparing for the alien invasion/battle, battles with other nations, losing.battles, winning some, then rebuilding for said alien invasion again. Oh yes... a 10-year-old Kurdish girl is training to be Earth's savoir. Alas, I'm still interested enough to read/listen to 3rd & last book. However, having heard a freebie excerpt of Book 3, I could have skipped Book 2 altogether.
