Darkness Rising

The Last Marines, Book 2

By: William S. Frisbee Jr.

Narrated by: John Pirhalla

United we stand, divided we fall.

Having escaped execution by the SOG, Gunnery Sergeant Mathison and his marines are hunted by an elite Governance task force and the entity that escaped from SOG Special Research Base 402-Alpha. If they don’t warn the Republic in time, humanity is doomed.

But the marines need more information about the entity hunting them, information the SOG doesn’t want them to have, and it’s a race against time as their hunters close in. The hunters can afford many mistakes, but the marines can’t make a single one.

As the hunters close in on their prey, worlds will burn, and ancients will awaken to crawl out of the shadows. The ancients, the Vanhat, are returning, and mankind must unite or perish.

Unfortunately, the SOG doesn’t want to unite....

Fast paced sci-fi adventure.

Better then the first. Characters are fun and have some depth. Comes to a stopping point but put open for the next book. Looking forward to the audio release of books three and four.

Semper fi marines

As a Marine I may be a little biased but I loved that the author stayed pretty authentic to what Marines are like. On an actual story note things are finally starting to get really interesting and the plot thickens

ever present fast pace action

The developing storyline and present action makes this one a very pleasant listen or read. If you enjoyed the first entry, you’ll double your expectations for the next one because this one is twice as good as the first and the first was excellent . Oorah the gunnery Sargent lives …! “ Semper Fidelis “ “ zen “

Initially Surprised, Now Hooked

Book 1 started a little slow and fragmented, but midway thru Book 1 and thru Book 2 it has been nonstop action with a great story and character development.

Also, the narrator is excellent. When you have a standard based on Bray, Boyer, Kafer & Daniel’s, you tend to be critical of narrators. Frisbee is phenomenal in this series. Really brings the characters and situations to life.

Would definitely recommend.

The series just gets better.

Everything keeps getting better. You can really tell the author has experience as a Marine. This knowledge makes the story so much better. The second book is even better than the first. Can not wait for the next. The narrator has spent a lot of extra time adding details that many would not. This pulls you into the story.
