Synopsis

In New York Times-bestselling science fiction epic Out of the Dark, Earth beat back an alien invasion. Now we've got to make sure they don't come back, in Into the Light.

The Shongairi conquered Earth. In mere minutes, half the human race died, and our cities lay in shattered ruins.

But the Shongairi didn’t expect the survivors’ tenacity. And, crucially, they didn’t know that Earth harbored two species of intelligent, tool-using bipeds. One of them was us. The other, long-lived and lethal, was hiding in the mountains of eastern Europe, the subject of fantasy and legend. When they emerged and made alliance with humankind, the invading aliens didn’t stand a chance.

Now Earth is once again ours. Aided by the advanced tech the aliens left behind, we’re rebuilding as fast as we can.

Meanwhile, a select few of our blood-drinking immortals are on their way to the Shongairi homeworld, having commandeered one of the alien starships...the planet-busting kind.

3.5 Stars I am enjoying this military science fiction series. At time, the story reads as very traditional military fiction which isn't necessarily my thing, but then the supernatural elements would come back and I was hooked again.

The alien invasion is over and now the survivors of Earth rebuild and expand using all that tasty tech they seized from their invaders!

Goodreads review by Ivan on March 14, 2021

Feels like there are two books material into this one. But the unpopular twist in the first book is lessened and the explanation hinted at but still not fully explained. All and all miles ahead and looking forward to more ... but since the ten years passed between the first and second book I am not......more
