Publisher's summary

The race to control a newly discovered ancient alien technology threatens to tear civilization apart.

Master Sergeant Cole Shaw and his team of mech operators are on the front lines of the new war. But instead of mechs, they pilot bioengineered beasts called Sentinels. Only they can stop the Imperial Alliance from unleashing a devastating alien weapon with unparalleled power.

Shaw’s team is sent to a colony planet where rebels clash with government forces, intergalactic empires vie for influence in the shadows, and monstrous feral creatures wreak havoc in forests as deadly as they are beautiful. Amid the chaos, Shaw must make tenuous alliances with untrustworthy forces and face impossible decisions with catastrophic consequences. If he doesn’t succeed, then it’s not just his team’s lives at stake - it’s all of mankind.

Dreadnaught is the long-awaited second book in the Deadmen’s War series. Pacific Rim meets Starship Troopers in this thrilling military sci-fi series.

Story continues...

Overall I have enjoyed the book and the storyline. Sometimes, however, I thought that too much detail went into describing the battles or certain situations that may have taken away from the main story. As always, great performance by R.C. Brey.

Tough decision

Many times in this genre, I end up reading books that seem to have stories that are somewhat slow and drawn out with a sprinkling of action to keep things entertaining.
These books, however, come right out and punch you in the face immediately then continue to beat you senseless til the very end.
I'm torn. I love exciting action packed stories but these might be just too intense. I literally cannot read these before bed or I can't sleep. I get so wound up that they occasionally give me a stomach ache.
It is all well written but I think they need to give the reader a break once in a while. Just too much intensity.

Mechs vs monsters who’s the better ride?

Over all the story line is great the only reason 4/5 stars is that the story line can be very intense at time. I had to take brakes in listening just to digest the raw emotions it embodies. Nothing is easy for the deadmen

Wonderful

From start to finish this book was exciting, nail biting and just plain entertaining. I’m always amazed at the talent it takes to construct a story with interesting characters and situations; A. Melchiorri is very very talented. Can not say enough good things about R.C. Bray as narrator. If you are into Science Fiction stories this series is so far well worth a listen. Book three I hope is on the way.
