Riptides

Land & Sea, Book 2

By: Blaine L. Pardoe

Narrated by: Noah Michael Levine

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....

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.

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.

Captivating Adventure

Ok, I am hooked 😉. This is a great series that keeps you engaged in various dimensions. I constantly look forward to time I carve out to listen and get immersed in the story. Great job Blaine.

good but plagues by some recording/playback issues

possible recording issues. keep running into sections where it popped or looped for a second. if you can push past great story definitely recommend a read

Another Fun Entry

The characters and plot lines are well developed from Book 1. Excited to see where the plot goes from here.
