Cold War

A NecroTek Novel

By: Jonathan Maberry

Narrated by: Ray Porter

From New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Jonathan Maberry comes the sequel to NecroTek. Cold War is an action-packed sci-fi thriller full of weird science, kick-ass heroes, humor, passion, heroism, and sacrifice!

In NecroTek, the space station Asphodel was accidentally teleported to the far side of the galaxy, where they became embroiled in a never-ending war against ancient cosmic horrors.

But there is much more to the story …

On Earth, scientists uncover an alien spacecraft buried for millions of years beneath Antarctic ice. Inside are terrible secrets and a creature desperate to escape.

Soon the scientists studying the Artifact begin to have terrifying dreams, driving many of them to madness and acts of shocking violence. Dr. Evie Cronin and her team struggle to find answers, fully aware that they may only be discovered out among the stars. Their investigation brings them to the orbit of Jupiter moments before the WarpLine gun misfires. Destiny is a vicious and devious thing.

On Asphodel Station, the newly created ghost-driven NecroTek fighting machines are engaged in a desperate battle for survival against the deadly shoggoth fleets. But a new and far more dangerous race of creatures is poised to attack, both with their own fleets and with nightmares forced into the minds of the dwindling human defenders.

The group of scientists from Antarctica and the survivors on Asphodel are pitted against an unstoppable enemy. If they fail, Asphodel Station will fall, and the Outer Gods will be free to wage a war of conquest across the galaxy—to Earth itself.

Action packed science fiction

And this shows that Jonathan Maberry is a writer that also handles science fiction like a master. I cannot praise Jonathan Maberry enough as a writer. He is a true gem, buy everything he has published. Best regards from a huge fan in Norway.

Outstanding continuation of Necrotek

Ray Porter, as always, narrates this story with craftsmanship, voicing characters so you hear each individual voice.
Jonathan Maberry created this universe that is incredibly complex yet very believable.
If you haven’t read Necrotek, I would suggest doing so before you read this sequel. If you are reading this review, get this book and Necrotek.

Thrilling from start to finish

I really enjoyed the narration from from Ray Porter and this book is fast paced with a great story and characters .

Outstanding storyline

Book 2 was fantastic!! I loved the characters and the excellent writing. Ray Porter is one of the best narrators and did an incredible job as always.

It's official...

I guess NecroTech and Joe Ledger universes are canon now, with mentions of God Machine, Bell, and Wu.

Maberry is a genius
