This book follows -
War Dogs. Our hero, Skyrine
Michael Venn, is back on Earth after
getting exposed to Green “Ice Moon Tea” in the ancient artifact – The Drifter
on Mars. It left some of his comrades as
black ice. But not Venn and not DJ. Now Venn can hear one of the former comrades
as well as the bug Karnack - ancient
storage of bug knowledge.
As he is getting interrogated and about to be
executed for what they think he knows about the Antags, the gurus and what this
war is really all about – he is swept back to Mars and on the Titan where he
learns more. Finally he must make a
decision about who he trusts. His fellow
Skyrines and their puppet-masters – the Guru’s?
Or the Antag female that he mind melds with and who together receive
tantalizing information from bug Karnack.
I like the first person narrative. It makes it more real to me. Although, a bit hard to follow some
times. Reminds me a little of of John
Scalzi’s Old Man’s War. I suspect that the next book – Take Back the Sky - is going to get even weirder – we’ll see.
