World War Mars 3

By: Rick Partlow

Narrated by: Paul Heitsch

A reprieve...

That’s all the victory over the bug-like Seekers has given Tom Bradstreet and his crew of Marines and Space Force troops on Mars.

Because the failure of his pawns among the Seekers has only made the creature known as the Monitor even more determined to destroy the Visitor and its crew of ancient alien Blessed, sleeping in stasis for tens of thousands of years.

They created the Seekers as their children, their heirs, and manufactured the Monitors to watch over them.

But the Monitors rebelled against their gods and used the power they’d been given to devastate the worlds of the Blessed until only those in the Visitor are left.

The Monitors are not about to give up until the last of their ancient masters are dead.

And the only thing standing in their way is the crew of the USS Morrigan.

New allies, ancient enemies and secrets as old as mankind itself come together in one last battle for the fate of the galaxy.

The final battle in World War Mars.

Book 3 in the next action-packed, gritty military sci-fi series from Rick Partlow, the bestselling author of the Drop Trooper Series and Taken to the Stars.

A perfectly OK scifi book

Enjoyable enough storyline and characters with some interesting concepts. Possibly could lead to a sequel story. However I couldn't help but be annoyed by the fact that just about everyone was a history buff and the HORRIBLE romance that continued into this story. Having a character or two that knows history and often referances it is a perfectly reasonable and interesting character trait. Having a dozen that do just sounds like the author showing off. And the trend from the other two books continued with just about every major named female character being a romantic interest, at least one of which the author seemed to forget about and abandon, and the fact that every "romance" happens without any on screen buildup or lead in. I love a good romance subplot, but when it's this clumsy just leave it out
