Waiting on Wednesday [302] – ABANDONED by W. Michael Gear

Waiting on Wednesdays is the brainchild of Jill at Breaking the Spine, and because Jill isn’t hosting it any more, I’m now linking up with Can’t Wait Wednesday at Wishful Endings. Stop over there and link up your “Can’t Wait” book of the week!

I am so freaking excited to read this book, y’all! I absolutely loved the first book in the series, Outpost. It was such an unexpected surprise. And the cover for book two just popped up so I knew it was time to feature the sequel. Take a look:

The second book in a thrilling sci-fi action adventure, set on Donovan, a treacherous alien planet where corporate threats and dangerous creatures imperil the lives of the planet’s colonists.

New York Times bestselling author W. Michael Gear returns us to the world he laid out with such sure purpose in Outpost. The struggle for survival sharpens as resources dwindle, technology fails, and the grim reality of life on Donovan unfolds.

Supervisor Kalico Aguila has bet everything on a fragile settlement far south of Port Authority. There, she has carved a farm and mine out of wilderness. But Donovan is closing in. When conditions couldn’t get worse, a murderous peril descends out of Donovan’s sky–one that will leave Kalico bleeding and shattered.

Talina Perez gambles her life and reputation in a bid to atone for ruthlessly murdering a woman’s husband years ago. Ironically, saving Dya Simonov may save them all.

Lieutenant Deb Spiro is losing it, and by killing a little girl’s pet alien, she may have precipitated disaster for all. In the end, the only hope will lie with a “lost” colony, and the alien-infested reflexes possessed by Security Officer Talina Perez.

On Donovan, only human beings are more terrifying than the wildlife.

Abandoned (Donovan Trilogy #2) by W. Michael Gear. Releases in November 2018 from Daw Books. I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series! I was blown away by Gear’s world and characters and I literally cannot wait to jump back into this very dangerous world. You can read my review of Outpost here if your interest is piqued:-)

Let me know what you’re waiting on this week:-D

  1. I read Outpost and at first I though I would not continue the series. There are way to many people of questionable character and too few characters to connect with. But after letting it set for a couple of weeks, I am now really appreciating the story the unique, imaginative, complex story set on the fantastic planet of Donovan. So I’m waiting on Abandoned too!

      There are definitely a lot of harsh things going on in the story for sure. I’m glad you are going to keep reading the series!

  2. I still need to get my review up but you know I LOVED Outpost. Oh no, someone kills a pet alien!!!!! I don’t know if I can stand that. I can’t imagine what that stupid Kalico does next. This one can’t come soon enough and this cover rocks!
