The human invaders will have the Tyr’s planet. No mercy. No survivors.

The corporation continues to grind the Tyr into dust against an enemy they can barely comprehend. With cities under siege and their armies shattered, the Tyr must find a way to fight back or be doomed to extinction.

The Clay family struggle to find a way to stop the corporation before all hope is lost. Daniel Clay and General Fastal launch a secret and dangerous mission to steal the only weapon that can turn the tide. Sarah Clay, surrounded by a faction she can’t trust, must win over the Hidden cabal to infiltrate behind enemy lines. Their son, Michael, fights to survive amidst a sea of refugees and to keep his true identity secret.

The ordeal of the human invasion continues. The Clay family are beset by enemies and threats on all sides as they search for a way to save the Tyr…and to save their family.

The Tyr: Ordeal is the thrilling next book of The Tyr Trilogy, a first contact space opera series from the bestselling author that brought you The Ember War and The Exiled Fleet.

Loved the first book, and this one doesn’t disappoint. A great perspective on alien invasion, and on the backwardness of society. Very good, very well written and -as always - RC Bray kills the performance. No editing whoopsies, and I love that.

Yup, it’s a good one!

the first book was a great one, opened the whole concept of the xenocide and humans being the villains, well plotted and good characters. this one has good plot and good characters but nothing really happens, it's all set up, could have been 30 mins to an hour longer so we had and interesting ending to keep some excitement for the 3rd book but it doesn't its borderline boring and the last hour was boring, not the best way to end a book. I love Fox's books so I hope the next one kicks it up and utilizes the set up.

Good but not great.

This was a great continuation. The thickening of plot and action on point. Bonus humor moments. Highly recommend. 5 stars all around.

A great sequel!

What a great story! Very original & refreshing. Finally, something other than a straight-up military sc-fi opera. I'll be waiting for the final installment & keeping an eye on Richard Fox in the future. Great job!!

Refreshing!

Richard Fox took awhile coming out with book 2 but the wait was worth it. The story is mostly drama but also has some 3rd tier characters providing subtle comic relief and a number of situations where parody seems the most appropriate.

R.C. Bray, you continue doing you.

Anxiously awaiting book 3.

This series hits on several different levels

This is not your "relaxing night-time book". It's a balls to the wall hell drive though rings of fire and grief. Almost from the start I began having stress sweats as I listened to RC Bray describe one terrible and hopeless scenario after another.
All that to say. Highly recommended. Just be prepared.

Intense

Another great book by Richard Fox. If Avatar had an illegitimate live child with Aliens it’d be this.

Richard takes great pride in developing a rich universe of Good, Evil, and everything in between.

The motivations of the Tyr and their separate factions, their human enablers, and the evil corporation with its drug addicted scummies is well laid out and compelling.

Great book… you know what the have to do early on, but can they?

Another compelling story. Written by Rich and performed by R.C. Bray.

Looking forward to the final installment of the series.

So good my balls jiggled
