The Alliance (The Evox Chronicles #1) You heard it here first! This series is going to be big!!!!

The Alliance by Chris G. Wright
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great book set in a not so distant but dystopian world. The start of a great series for me. I can not wait to see what happens next. This book is more of an introduction to the main characters of this series, world building and choosing a side.

The aliens have arrived, the came and they destroyed. Now humanity is an endangered species. However humanity is not dead yet! One of the things I really liked about this book is that as much as the humanity has come together in the aftermath, our dark nature and emotions are still active in the select few bad apples. Also the aliens might not be as together as the human think. There is good and bad on both side. Heroes will rise no matter the costs, villains with go deeper into their greed nature.

The action passages are great but I would have liked more of then, but I understand that this book is more about introducing the readers to the world and characters. The only complaint I do have in this book is the same complaint I have about Chris G Wright’s inspiration/mentor R A Salvatore’s recent books. This is a personal peeve of mine. I hate battle scenes that are broken up to check up on what the other characters are doing. Eg in the middle of a batter see what is going on elsewhere, then go back to the battle. For me as good as a battle scene is I find this a bit distracting. However that is my only complaint.

If this is the quality of the series I will be here for the long haul. I can’t wait to see what happens next. With the characters, and battle lines drawn I am expecting the war to be in full swing on all fronts.
