Set in the not-so-distant future, 2027, to be exact, the United States is no more. It is now the Second Civil War between the ConFeds and the Union.
This dystopian thriller comes out of the gates with blazing speed. Watts weaves in prose and action in nonstop sequences, intriguing dialogue, and an all too believable plot. This plot has seemed to become a nearing reality over the past year. The writing and pace of this novel reminded me of a Brad Thor read and is a jolt of lightning from start to finish.
The Grim Alliance, book number two in The Infidel Series, is a fantastic novel. I highly recommend reading the prequel. This book is chalked full of interesting, dynamic characters, but remembering who is who can be difficult without getting context from book one, especially with the different narratives happening. Fortunately, the cast of characters is listed in the front of the novel, so you can still read this as a standalone.
This novel is wracked with emotion and action simultaneously. Characters are thrown through a seemingly impossible gauntlet, and it’s not whether or not they come out unscathed, but instead if they make it out at all. This book has you fist-pumping for a multitude of characters that take you through an emotional rollercoaster.
I highly recommend this book. It is packed with everything a good thriller should have - action, memorable characters, a plot that flies by, emotion, light & darkness, and more action.
