Publisher's summary

The world’s oceans are no longer safe.

Mysterious alien invaders have conquered two-thirds of the earth’s surface—its oceans—and now nations are reeling from the savage attacks that have struck every shore. Los Angeles and Washington DC are war zones.

The survival of the United States depends on heroes.

Among them are a grizzled Army veteran who pilots his ASHUR in defense of the nation’s capital, a brilliant analyst who works feverishly to unravel the secrets of the invaders, and the bold and daring officers of the US Navy, battered from below yet seeking to salvage victory from the jaws of defeat.

Yet some of the unlikeliest of heroes are the people who emerge from the shadows of everyday life to fight for their very survival as the alien incursion carves deeper into the continental coastlines.

Fighting in the currents is hard enough. Fighting the riptides is even harder....

Most Fun Alien Invasion in Years

The combat turned up a notch in this one.
Both in how much combat and in the descriptions, Blaine did a fantastic job of making this invasion feel world spanning and personal.
Lots of good character development, if you had told me the child character was gonna be in my 3 favs I woulda called you a liar.

Great Read

A great book, takes the world building of the first book and runs with it. I look forward to more in the Land and Sea series.

Tom Clancy, but with mechs.

Worthy. Five stars across the board. I recommend.
The author took the story to a more complex story without getting distracted. I was like reading a Tom Clancy book, with mechs.

Better than the first one

Glad I gave this series another chance. In this book the world building pays off and we get a good mix of action and story development. interested to see how things progress.

Another entry in an amazing series!!

This series of books has come out of no where and introduced me to a new world of intriguing characters. I am fascinated by the technological aspect of the battle armor used and hope that we can learn more about it in the future.
This is a title I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a new series to read.

Love the book, it’s a slow burner.

The world building is great. I can close my eyes and feel like I’m there.

I wish there were more mech scenes but I understand they are very detail dependent and are the stars of series. Hope the gen 3 Asher’s get to show off more.

My predictions of the Asher 3 names: hammerhead, moray, and the beluga.
