About this listen

An unknown enemy waits for war.

From the bottom of the oceans of the world a hidden threat stalks mankind—probing, testing our weapons and defenses, biding time to strike. In the summer of 2039, this aquatic foe unleashes surprise attacks against coastal cities around the globe. Mankind faces a sophisticated new enemy, arrived from the depths of space and lurking in the dark blackness of the seas.

The United States and the rest of the world are ill prepared for such an attack.

Humanity’s only hope are ASHURs, powerful armored combat suits named after the Assyrian god of war. The fight for survival will require ingenuity, cunning, and a furious application of destructive violence against the most unrelenting enemy mankind has ever known!

Tom Clancy and the Expanse meets Mecha-charged combat in this thrilling series that pits humanity, world governments, and deadly alien invaders against each other.

The fight for tomorrow begins with the initial splashdown....

This book was awesome and it has all of his same styling that he used in some of the greatest battletech books written. Narration was really good, setup took a bit but there's a ton there. looking forward to the next one

Breath of fresh air

I've ready a lot of repetitive War/Sci-fi novels (Galaxy's Edge), and this series isn't one of them!

This is a breath of fresh air. It has a thought out plot, and a variety of characters. The author uses a template similar to World War Z, in how the book transitions between characters, perspectives, and locations. All while being cohesive and consistent.

The narrator is solid. Brings emotion and tone to each character but also the situation they find themselves in.

Diamond in the rough!

Great work as usual from Blaine and can’t wait to see what happens next in this universe of sea monsters and mech suits.

Solid writing with multiple points of view fleshing out the coming storm from a threat that encompasses the existential dread of the deep ocean.

Fantastic start cant wait for more!
