Publisher's summary

The human body is no longer enough. The wars of the future will be fought with mechs.

Chief Roach's victory over the ferocious Quatro won't last long, it seems. Strange meteorites have fallen to the surface of Eresos, containing mechs - quadruped mechs, clearly designed for the enemy.

Now, Roach and the surviving members of Oneiri Team, must escort these fearsome new weapons through a harsh alien wilderness, while defending against constant attack.

If the quad mechs fall into the enemy's possession before Roach can get them to the space elevator, humanity will lose the advantage granted by their own MIMAS mechs, and they'll be right back to where they were: outmatched and overpowered by the murderous alien beasts.

Great Follow Up to Powered

As with most of Scott Bartlett’s work there are usually two or three concurrent plots running through the book.

There is a sinister connection between Darkstream and Daybreak. We are also introduced to another merc faction that is armed in Darkstream Dark Tech.

Continuing the saga our heroes are forced to defend Habitat 2, we begin to see the deceit of Darkstream.

Our MIMAS heroes are forced to battle a number of Quattro in their MIMAS-style mechs.

And we follow Price’s father discover a secret so dark it could cost him his life.

More Mechs More

Give me more!!!! This is an Amazing Mech story and Narration. Scott and Mark have created a wonder teaming of writing and narration, that truly brings you into the battle. I am excited to start book 3.

Note at the time of this review Audible did not have chapter titles for this title.

This book was provided free for review, however, these are my honest opinions and review.

And he does it again.

Once again I've no words do describe this amazing masterpiece.
Perfect preference.
Writing with such beauty that if it only reached Hollywood it could and would be the next Star Wars.
It took the great science-fiction writers many years and many short stories without the competition of thousands of writers today to get to where they are now and here is a writer which have actually done exactly that.
Perfect creation with all the competition in such a short time.
Recommend to follow this author, everything he writes turns to gold!

That which surprises.

The follow up to Powered, Dynamo was an incredible listen. Once again both author and narrator blow it out of the water. The second part of the mech wars series was just as good as the first even expanding on certain characters and driving the plot and politics forward. Memorable characters, incredible confrontations and continuing twists. If you love science fiction, aliens, mechs this is a must have. Looking forward to more.

Enjoyable Military SciFi

This is the second book in the Mech Wars series, and it was quite enjoyable. The same cast from the first book is back, along with a few new characters. The overall story continues to progress, while we get a good bit of action on both sides. I will continue this series.

Aliens vs Mechs- the battle continues

Any additional comments?

Written by: Scott Bartlett
Narrated by: Mark Boyett
This is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary.
I loved the first book and when I was given the chance for book 2, boy did I jump on that! This is a is a great sci-fi series with soldiers using giant suits that are armored and engineered to be top-of-the-line battle ready and tech operated. There are aliens using similar suits too. There are other issues going on like a corrupt government, drug rings, species extermination, and so much more. Very intense series. The characters are very well developed. You hate some and adore others. Some are fooled and other naive. Some are just evil. Wonderful world building also.
The narrator is the same as the last book that really helps and he does just as good and keeps up with the same voices which can't be an easy feat. There are soooo many voices and aliens. He meets the job brilliantly. Wonderful!
