Good Boys: The Lost Tribe (Good Boys, #1)

by Jeremy Robinson

When alien species converge on Earth, each enlisting the help of humans, only one author has the testicular fortitude to envision the madness that ensues: Jeremy Robinson.

 

In the serene backdrop of New Hampshire’s Franconia Notch, Micah Taylor, an ex-Army Ranger, finds solace with his loyal Golden Retriever, Grover. Their peaceful existence is suddenly shattered when a first date with his old friend, Jess Bender, takes an unexpected turn. Bright lights descend from the sky, leading them into the dark woods and a shocking discovery: the Kynolari, an advanced alien species with a special connection to Micah, here on a quest to find ‘The Lost Tribe’—a colony that vanished millennia ago.

 

Micah, Jess, and Grover soon find themselves in the crosshairs of the enigmatic Twilight Directorate, a covert agency hell-bent on capturing the Kynolari. As alliances are forged and galactic secrets unravel, they learn of an even graver threat: the Draun, a merciless genocidal species. They have come to Earth, have infiltrated our society, and are eager to drag humanity into the cosmos’s deadliest war.

 

Good Boys is a whirlwind of suspense, humor, and heart written by #1 Audible and New York Times bestselling author, Jeremy Robinson. Dive into an action-packed tale where loyalty, love, and the bonds of friendship are tested against the vast and violent mysteries of the universe.

The New God Of Science Fiction Returns To Intergalactic War While Maintaining A Very Human Tale. This is one of those Robinson tales that will be great for anyone, no matter if you've never read a single other book by him or those of us (few) like myself who have known him since MySpace when he only had a couple of books available and have read everything he's written since. It is the start of a brand new trilogy - one we're apparently going to get the entire trilogy of in 2024 or at worst a calendar year of this book's release on US Memorial Day Weekend 2024 (last weekend of May, for non-US based readers). You know, for those who have seen Robinson promise a trilogy before and then either never (not yet?) complete it - UNITY, Viking Tomorrow, etc - or take quite some time (HUNGER). Still, he completes series faster than that dragon/ throne dude with the other TV series, so at least Robinson has *that* going. :D

The tale itself is one of those heartful yet irreverent and action packed tales that Robinson has become somewhat known for (Space Force, ExoHunter, Tribe) that also has a decent amount of not-really-hidden-at-all meta commentary about book reviews and people claiming to know an author's real-world political or religious positions, which was quite awesome to read - and worked perfectly into and with the story being told at the time of the commentary. Honestly, the story at times seems reminiscent of Richard Phillips' Second Ship series, also about an intergalactic war that Earth winds up involved in, except that Robinson's version is lighter, much more humorous, more action packed, and with less fantasy/ high scifi - ie, the aliens are much easier to envision in Robinson's tale. Oh, and if you love a certain talking raccoon in a certain cinematic universe... you're *really* going to love one of *these* aliens in particular. :)

Overall a truly fun, action packed tale that shows great promise for the upcoming sequels. Very much recommended.
