Invasion by Sean Platt and Johnny Truant #scifi #free #5star

THEY ARE COMING. THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN.

The discovery of objects approaching from Jupiter orbit sets humanity on edge, sending cities into panic. Most is unknown, but thanks to the popular Astral space app, everyone knows the few facts the government has tried to hide:

The objects are enormous spheres numbering in the dozens, maybe hundreds. They are on an approach vector toward Earth … and they will arrive in six days.

Entrepreneur Meyer Dempsey is in New York, realizing the time has come to act on all the preparations he’s made without ever consciously knowing why. For years Meyer has been preoccupied by a dreamlike sense of coming peril and knows where he must take his family … if, that is, they can make it before society eats itself alive with fear.

​When I was asked to review Invasion I saw that the book was free and almost didn't download it. I took another look and thought what the hell, I'll give it a try. One chapter in and I was so happy I did. If I don't like a book I generally don't review it. Writing a book take a long time, a lot of effort, and tons of agonizing editing.  To tell someone their book sucks after such an effort is just not in me.  In addition, it's hard to find a publishing company to take on a new writer so most of the time free books are from new authors without a publisher (and sometimes editor) behind them.

​My 5 Star Review

Invasion is a surprisingly good read!

​Looking for something to ease me through a few rough days after surgery a friend led me to Invasion to read and review. Being that it is 1 am, I think it is fair to say the book kept my interest. Add a link to the next book in the series for free you can bet I am in for the entire series. The only downside are the unexpectedly long fight scenes at the end of book one but all can be forgiven when you add in the esoteric aura of Invasion that has me forward thinking into book two. As a sci-fi writer myself I appreciate the time and effort put into this series that the authors have made available for free.


​I had had a surgical procedure at 6:30 am and here it was 1 am and I was still up and reading. Granted anesthetic wires me, but only a good book can keep my attention at that hour of the morning. The editing of Invasion is superb with only a few issues here and there, nothing important enough to mention. The character development was excellent and the writing easy to follow and understand.

​My free book aversion is officially over as is my potential addiction to norco which does nothing but make me sick to my stomach. So glad recovery is in sight. Oh, and before I forget, once you get to the end of Invasion you can follow a link to get a free ebook of book 2. Kudos to the authors who put their book out there for free and by book I mean full length novel.

​Buy link here.

​If you love sci-fi I think you'll find Invasion a great way to spend the day.
