Review: E-Day II: Burning Earth by Nicholas Sansbury Smith, read by R.C. Bray
E-Day II: Burning Earth is the second awesome novel in the E-Day series by New York Times best-selling author Nicholas Sansbury Smith, who brought us other blockbusters such as Hell Divers, The Extinction Cycle, Orbs, and my favorite of them all, Sons of War.
Burning Earth sees humanity fighting for its existence and survival – with just 1 million people remaining alive as a tragic result of the brutal war with the machines, forced to flee the burning earth and hide on the moon.
What’s left of Ghost Squad after a dramatic encounter in which all of them almost died is healing and licking their wounds in the depths of the oceans, but they need to recover as soon as possible because the planet is heading towards irreversible damage and the machines are preparing to set their target on the unlucky survivors.
Continuing at the same breakneck pace as the previous chapter, Burning Earth is gripping, terrifying, and atmospheric.
The man, the myth, the legend, the Voice, multiple award-winning narrator and audiobooks industry’s sci-fi narrator of choice, R.C. Bray delivers another perfect performance and manages to bring each character to life with distinct voices, accents and a lot of personality.
Nicholas Sansbury Smith and R.C. Bray continue to delight and entertain listeners all around the world with their stories of heroism, bravery, apocalypse, and survival. Combining beautiful writing, unforgettable characters, and vivid descriptions with top-notch narration, the entire E-Day series will satisfy one and all lovers of military sci-fi , action, and thrillers alike.
E-Day III: Dark Moon, the last book in the trilogy, is available now and I will return as soon as possible with a full review for that one as well. But I can tell you that I already listened to it and that it is as good as the previous two novels.
This E-Day Trilogy consolidates Nicholas Sansbury Smith as one of the most talented and prolific writers of his generation!
