Splashdown

Land & Sea, Book 1

By: Blaine L. Pardoe

Narrated by: Noah Michael Levine

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....

New IP firmly established.

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.

Breath of fresh air

Amazing read! Loving this new universe that BLP is now involved with! I can’t wait for more.

Diamond in the rough!

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.

great start and set up

liked it looking forward the reading riptide on my business trip to Hornady r&d

Vivid storyline with character depth

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
