Synopsis:
|
Bethany Anne
(henceforth BA), must deal with bringing the Were into her elite
Guardian Group. Pete takes on that chore and he and another recruit
slug it out at the end of the training for Alpha status. Pete takes
it and BA finds out from TOM that the Were are actually another line
of nano-tech from a competing Kurtherian clan. BA and Tom experiment
with Pete to give him a man-beast form. They are successful
BA also deals with
having a dog be in the medical pod and having TOM messing with it. It
seems to be a battery for the Etheric and allow BA to travel 1000's
of km at once instead of just mere kilometers.
BA also tracks down
two of the top Forsaken in South America and deals with them. She
rescues Michael in the process and as penance for not dealing with
the Forsaken centuries earlier puts him in charge of South America.
The 2 scientists
awake their AI. Bobcat begins working with a rocket scientist to
develop a strike craft for both terrestrial and extra-terrestrial
purposes.

My
Thoughts:
|
Once again, I had a blast reading this. It still does feel like
Anderle is putting too much of various characters into the books,
hence cutting down the time we get with them. The balance isn't
right.
Also, while I enjoyed this as much as the previous books, if not more
due to BA taking out the 2 top Forsaken, the rushed nature of this
volume really stood out. Several spelling errors, sentences that
weren't cleaned up or had had 2 ways to go and weren't completed
properly, little grammar things here and there. I'll keep reading
as long as I enjoy the story but these little things make me leery of
recommending the books because it screams “unprofessional”.
Lots of fun and excitement as long as you don't mind the indie lack
of concern.
★★★☆☆
