Chargement... Reconquest: Mother Earthpar Carl Alves
Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  Eric_J._Guignard | Jul 26, 2018 |   Since this is traditional-style sci-fi, there’s plenty of yes-he-can in the answers, lots of fun, exciting set pieces, and a fast-flowing storyline that, just occasionally, might make readers pause for thought about our real world too—just as all the best sci-fi should do. Fast, fun, and not too scientific, Reconquest: Mother Earth is an enjoyable quick read. Don’t think too hard about the details, suspend your disbelief, and enjoy the ride. Disclosure: I was given a copy and I offer my honest review. (  ) SheilaDeeth | Feb 11, 2017 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Fiction. Young Adult. Navy Seal Mitch Grace was among the first humans to see the aliens when they landed at the naval base where he was stationed, but like the rest of humanity, he was powerless to stop them. Five years later, Mitch awakens from a coma under the care of an alien physician to find that aliens control the planet. Starting alone, as a one man army, he rallies the surviving humans to build a resistance movement to take the planet back from the alien conquerors. After his capture by the aliens, Mitch is forced into intergalactic slavery to become a gladiator, fighting as the sole representative of the human species. Against all odds, and far from home, he lays the plans for the reconquest of his homeland. "Anybody can end the world, but few can do it with the blend of action, suspense,romance and even humor that Alves mixes up in this fantastic novel. A blast for anyone who enjoys a good tale, even those who rarely venture into science fiction. Highly recommended."—Brett J. Talley "A riotous mix of Independence Day and Red Dawn with a taste of the Thunderdome. The apocalypse has never been more fun."—Tim Marquitz Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

WRITTEN BY: Carl Alves
PUBLISHED: January, 2014
“Reconquest: Mother Earth” is a military science fiction thriller with plenty of action, suspense, and just enough romance to soften the hard edges of SEAL-cum-hero Mitch Grace. Mitch is a throwback to archetypical heroes of noble swashbucklers or chivalrous knights; he is a warrior able to face the most daunting of foes, challenge the downtrodden with grand speeches of freedom to raise themselves up, and all the while brush off physical advances from any admirer as he stays true to his only love, Deborah. Though not marketed as YA, this would fit well into the genre, and in a good way. Carl’s writing bridges the YA and adult worlds. At times the plot could turn a bit predictable and flat, but Carl makes up for that with the vast universe he’s imagined, filled with far-flung worlds and its array of colorful denizen aliens, some good, some evil, and some—surprisingly—compassionate to Mitch’s cause, as the last freedom fighter of Earth. Overall, it’s a fun read, and though satisfactory closure is found by the last page, one may hope that Carl revisits his characters and continues their adventures in a follow-up sequel.
