Hunted, confused, pissed off…this is one quarry you don’t want to back into a corner.

Steve and Ingrid have escaped the clutches of Athena, but Steve is still learning, both about his place in the world, and his capabilities...not to mention those of the creatures that surround him.

Ingrid, too, must find her way in the new reality she finds her world has become, and the pair need a plan.

Fortunately, Ingrid’s a lot brighter than Steve, and she’s had plenty of time to plan, to observe, and to build up a festering hatred of her "betters".

Steve’s going recruiting—and harvesting. Greece is in for a hell of a surprise, and for the criminal element out there? It’ll be a fatal one…

Typically, my wife isn't interested in things like this... Even though she's a nerd herself, she says things like this are too much, but even she was glued to this book! She made me buy the entire series! We love the humor and personality of the characters, as well as the story itself. It's very captivating and engaging. Love it!

It really grips and even demands your attention!

I loved the first book, and liked this book.

The main issues I have with it is that a lot of the main characters reactions are valid and throughout the entire novel everyone keeps telling him he’s wrong or emotional. I found it really obnoxious to listen to, since most of his reactions were extremely logical (like not wanting to add the hippies). Everyone kept telling him that him not wanting to add a random group of people who are extremely naive and stupid to a project that needs to be completely secretive is emotional and illogical is honestly the dumbest writing I’ve ever heard.

Along with that they act like him trying to keep the people he lives out of danger is some misogynistic ideal, when the main character is literally invincible (just about). Him adding people to his journeys who are extremely vulnerable to death just makes everything harder on him. The argument that Inga can help him is like a naive child wanting to help fix the car. They are there doing the bare minimum and likely to cause an accident.

A lot of the arguments just felt very illogical and emotional based and the main character accepted them rather then break them down and logically argue.

Series is pretty good

I have no idea how Jez comes up with the things he does but man this was amazing!
I can’t wait to follow this story and see what’s in store for Steve and the crew! All the directions they are headed on now has me absolutely hooked!

Great character depth

Love the mythological connections, I hesitate to say this might be my favorite story he’s written yet.

Steve has Arisen and out to kick ass and take names with extreme prejudice and keep us all entertained doing it.
With the skills of Cajiao and the masterful tones from Threet and Boucher this was always going to be an easy 5 stars after the showing from the 1st audio. My biggest cripe isn't the writing, the juiced up action scenes as Steve travels the world taking out criminalsand other Arisen,but the ending after only 31hrs and change.
Although the story is written to a satisfactory conclusion ,this series exludes so much potential for another 20 to add within the series that it would be criminal to stay here after such excitement was given to us.
So please hassle the author politely and tell him we want lots more as I need more of this fix.

Wonderfully Arisen
