Once Humans by Massimo Marino

Once Humans by Massimo Marino
Daimones Trilogy, Book 2
Publisher: Massimo Marino (January 2014)
317 pages, eBook (purchased myself for $3.99)
Book Rating: 3 Stars
Content Note: Includes Swearing, Violence and Sexual Situations

As one of the ‘Selected’, Dan attempts to lead his people as they embark on building a new civilization amidst a war between rival alien species and difficulties a bit closer to home. This book isn’t as centered on Dan’s family as the previous book in this series, and was a little heavy on political intrigue and futuristic technicalities for my taste, but that may be a draw for some readers. The second half of this book moved into a fast-paced action/adventure mode, which I found a bit more enjoyable then what preceded it, but I missed the character-centered themes from Book 1. This reminded me of a Tom Clancy story with aliens. This book is followed by The Rise of the Phoenix.
