Untitled Bear 2 Of 2
Untitled Bear 2 Of 2 | Greg Bear
3 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
The Gurus came in peace, bearing gifts. They were a highly advanced, interstellar species who brought amazingly useful and sophisticated technology to the human race. There was, of course, a catch. The Gurus warned of a far more malevolent life form, beings who have hounded the Gurus from sun to sun, planet to planet, across the cosmos. Pundits have taken to calling them the Antagonists - or Antags - and they have already established a beachhead on Mars. In exchange for all they've done for us, the Gurus would now like our help. Enter Master Sergeant Michael Venn, a veteran Skyrine (a Marine who is specially trained for off-world combat) who is dropped onto the Red Planet with his band of brothers on a mission to take down as many Antags as possible. But from the moment they're dropped through the thin Martian atmosphere, their mission goes horribly, terribly wrong. From a group of female special ops Skyrines with secret orders, to mysterious humans who've settled on Mars, to the overwhelming and highly-reinforced Antags themselves, Venn and his brothers will face impossible odds just to survive - let alone make it home alive.

I tried but I just can't, I've actively avoided this book today, so it's time to stop. I like Bear's writing and military sci-fi, but this doesn't ring true, too full of fake sounding military jargon and too many military cliches.

Settings I made it to the 3rd one but it was painful - good decision lol 5y

I‘ll be sorting through this for quite a while. So much to unravel. It‘s all peripheral to what I read but nothing I‘ve read before. I love the Wonder Woman and Poe. I‘ve been working my way through Lovecraft this year so I‘m super excited about the Cthulhu short stories. Never heard of the Gibson & Bear but they look like something I‘d buy. Plus there‘s pencils, bookmarks & candy! No wonder it was so heavy! ##Thanks! #HalloweenGoesPostal

War Dogs is a super weird hard sci-fi, but in an incredible way. It makes you feel the best kind of strange - definitely check this book out!!!
