This was a great introduction to the new Hunter Squad and its members. 30 years post Hell Squad, you now have the “kids” of the original players from the original set of books.
This book centres around Jameson and Greer, both whose parents are friends and they grew up together. Jameson Steel is the leader of Hunter Squad, while Greer Baird is an engineer.
Jameson and his team hunt the monsters that were left after the alien invasion from Hell Squad, finally admitting their defeat and leaving … but of course, they leave nasty presents. It just so happens that one of these “monsters” decides to make Greer’s group of engineers who are working on a dam to try and provide much-needed fresh water, as its snacks.
Overall the monsters are gross, unpredictable and yucky (which Anna is always so good at), Jameson’s team is fearless in the face of this nastiness and Greer is a major badass who is perfect for Jameson. And of course, they do finally get out of each other’s way and realize that.
As with most of her books that centre around either alien invasions or sci-fi adventures, it’s a quick, fast and crazy read. She is amazing in how she manages to combine action-packed pages with really wonderful characters. I’m looking forward to continuing on with the series.
Now I have to admit Hell Squad is a series of her’s that for some unknown reason, I’ve never read. Time to sit down and read that now, I think!!
