Louisiana, 2065. A lot has changed in the forty-third year of the Kurian Order. Possessed of an unnatural and legendary hunger, the bloodthirsty Reapers have come to Earth to establish a New Order built on the harvesting of enslaved human souls. They rule the planet. They thrive on the scent of fear. And if it is night, as sure as darkness, they will come. On this pitiless world, the indomitable spirit of mankind still breathes in Lieutenant David Valentine. Brought into the Wolves--an elite guerrilla force sworn to win back Earth--Valentine leads his first command in the Kurian Zone. Driven by the losses of his past and the hope of a future, Valentine is in it to win. No matter how long it takes. No matter what doom awaits him beyond his wildest nightmares.

I didn't like it. It wasn't badly written but it was extremely boring! I fell asleep more than once while I was reading this one. ( )

It's a new world, with humans being the food. Their enemies enemy has the ability to change the make up of certain humans to fight back and David is one of them. This first installment gives lots of background as well as walks us through David as a child, his induction and his battles. Interesting so far, worth reading more.

Vampire Earth series. I figured it was going to be a series that could have been a sequel to [b:The Strain|6065215|The Strain (The Strain Trilogy, #1)|Guillermo del Toro|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1326225354s/6065215.jpg|6241525].

Not quite so much. Vampires are just aliens, yeah, go figure.

Anyway, I never would have thought this author was the same who wrote the [b:Dragon Champion|632579|Dragon Champion|E.E. Knight|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1309209466s/632579.jpg|618882]. I'll probably read a couple more to see where the series goes... ( )

Stargate meets Falling Skies, with added Vampires.
Likeable protagonist, good dialogue and action set pieces, let down by intermittent info-dumping and said protagonist being quite the Marty Stu, and that it's all wrapped up in an oddly episodic wandering plotline that doesn't really take off until far too late in the book for me.
Full review @Booklikes. ( )

The first in an interesting, post apocalyptic series. The earth has been invaded & the story unfolds from the POV of Valentine, a soldier in the resistance. Exactly what invaded & how is left a bit open. We know they are the Kurians, but not what they look like or exactly what their abilities are. Other creatures came with them & our civilization was devastated with much of mankind becoming slaves & food.

Half the interest of the series is that there aren't many certainties. Odd creatures, a broken civilization plus infighting among the conquerors all make for a rather confusing mix for our hero to sort out. Not only are there a lot of moral gray areas, but it's difficult to tell the good guys from the bad guys a lot of times. The resistance is a piecemeal affair, several major organizations plus a lot of folks that just want to live free. Some of the new arrivals are good guys, interested in helping mankind, while others aren't interested in them at all.

Each book adds to Valentine's, thus our, knowledge of the world. It's a hard one & he faces some very tough choices. He's not a super hero, but a pretty tough guy in a very hard situation doing the best he can.

Overall, I'd rate the series with 3.5 stars. The first couple of books were excellent, a couple are just OK & a few were pretty awesome.

Have you ever dealt with people who have lost everything in just an hour? In the morning you leave the house where your wife, your children, your parents live. You return and you find a smoking pit. Then something happens to you -- to a certain extent you stop being human. You do not need any glory, money anymore; revenge becomes your only joy. And because you no longer cling to life, death avoids you, the bullets fly pasat, You become a wolf.
--Russian General Aleksander Lebed, veteran of Afghanistan
