An unknown enemy waits for war.

From the bottom of the oceans of the world a hidden threat stalks mankind—probing, testing our weapons and defenses, biding time to strike. In the summer of 2039, this aquatic foe unleashes surprise attacks against coastal cities around the globe. Mankind faces a sophisticated new enemy, arrived from the depths of space and lurking in the dark blackness of the seas.

The United States and the rest of the world are ill prepared for such an attack.

Humanity’s only hope are ASHURs, powerful armored combat suits named after the Assyrian god of war. The fight for survival will require ingenuity, cunning, and a furious application of destructive violence against the most unrelenting enemy mankind has ever known!

Tom Clancy and the Expanse meets Mecha-charged combat in this thrilling series that pits humanity, world governments, and deadly alien invaders against each other.

The fight for tomorrow begins with the initial splashdown....

A very solid way to kick off an IP. interesting to see Battle LA mixed with District 9 and other ideas. certainly no rip off but I feel the inspiration. wargate always has great voice actors. highly recommend.

New IP firmly established.

Breath of fresh air

I've ready a lot of repetitive War/Sci-fi novels (Galaxy's Edge), and this series isn't one of them!

This is a breath of fresh air. It has a thought out plot, and a variety of characters. The author uses a template similar to World War Z, in how the book transitions between characters, perspectives, and locations. All while being cohesive and consistent.

The narrator is solid. Brings emotion and tone to each character but also the situation they find themselves in.

Diamond in the rough!

While the novel may be slow to set up the world and all the individual pieces (this is a brand new IP, after all), he delivers a world immense with detail and relatability. His hallmark styles are on full display, marking him a superior writer with incredible vision. You won't want to miss how this novel and series unfolds!

I am a big fan of Blaine’s work. He creates stories that are full of vivid actions in real world settings. He builds depth into his characters that keep you wanting more as you follow their lives. Great job

Vivid storyline with character depth

This book was awesome and it has all of his same styling that he used in some of the greatest battletech books written. Narration was really good, setup took a bit but there's a ton there. looking forward to the next one

A great Battletech alternative after catalyst destroyed it

Like many who follow Blaine Pardoe, I came into this series more familiar with BattleTech. So I’ll try to explain my review in terms of BattleTech.

For starters, it’s not set in the far future like the 31st century, it’s only the not so distance future. The story starts in the year 2039, so the setting is more grounded, literally and metaphorically.

The premise of the story is not a space opera with warring houses and clans vying for control of the galaxy. Instead it’s more of an alien invasion, with giant creatures emerging from the sea battled by mech suits, kind of like Pacific Rim.

Much of the story is spent introducing the many different characters with occasional competing interests, such as:

- a reclusive tech CEO
- an ambitious journalist and media star on the hunt for her latest scoop
- a disabled military veteran turned drug dealer
- another veteran in the twilight of his career, wishing he spent more time with his family when he had the chance
- a teenager in the perpetual generational struggle against her parents

And then, all the action happens. Admittedly it takes most of the book to lay the groundwork because this is a brand new IP that will hopefully go well beyond books. It already has a comic also by Blaine Pardoe, and in due time will hopefully have its own miniature table top war game and video games.

I was so hooked on the story that I finished the audiobook in less than a week and am already planning to read the next book in this series.

Great introduction to a new IP!

Great work as usual from Blaine and can’t wait to see what happens next in this universe of sea monsters and mech suits.

Solid writing with multiple points of view fleshing out the coming storm from a threat that encompasses the existential dread of the deep ocean.

Fantastic start cant wait for more!
