SpecOps (Expeditionary Force, #2)

Craig Alanson

★★★★☆

to-read

The sequel to 'Columbus Day'. Colonel Joe Bishop made a promise and he's going to keep it; taking the captured alien starship Flying Dutchman back out. He doesn't agree when the UN decides to send almost 70 elite Special Operations troops, hotshot pilots and scientists with him; the mission is a fool's errand he doesn't expect to ever return. At least, this time, the Earth is safe, right?Not so much.

Review

SpecOps (Expeditionary Force, #2) by Craig Alanson left a clear impression on me. I really enjoyed this and found it consistently engaging and thoughtfully put together. The pacing, character work, and central themes gave me enough to think about after finishing. It may not work for every reader, but it feels significant within its genre and worth recommending with context.
