Good Boys: Unleashed (Good Boys, #2)

by Jeremy Robinson

In the chilling aftermath of Good Boys: The Lost Tribe, Micah, Jess, and the ever-loyal Golden Retriever, Grover, seek refuge in the snowy seclusion of a New Hampshire farm, along with their new Kynolari friends. But as winter’s grip tightens, so does the Draun’s hold on Earth. The signal sent by the Visionary has awakened the Draun DNA inside two hundred and fifty million humans, the number increasing every day. Nowhere is safe, and humanity is on the brink of unimaginable chaos.

 

Forced to flee after a devastating attack on the farm, the heroes are scattered, pursuing desperate gambits across the globe. In the sands of Egypt, Praxion’s team seeks to uncover the secrets of Anubis, the Egyptian god of death and the leader of the Kynolari’s Lost Tribe. A second team, led by Chirk, ventures into the heart of Mexico, searching for a lost Incan temple of Xolotl, whose association with death, and physical description, matches that of Anubis. Both teams race against time, guided by mysterious legends and plagued by dangers, both ancient and modern.

 

Separated from the others, Micah and Jess embark on a perilous journey south, through a transformed America, now a mosaic of Draun-fueled terror, where danger lurks at every stop, and no one can be trusted.

 

As ancient truths unfold into dreadful revelations, the bonds of friendship, love, and loyalty are tested against the backdrop of a humanity teetering on the edge of annihilation. The quest for hope, the fight for survival, and the battle for the soul of the species are woven into a tapestry of adventure, heartbreak, heroism, and humor.

 

Jeremy Robinson, #1 Audible and New York Times bestselling author, returns with a masterpiece of suspense, humor, and heart, where the greatest battles are fought within, and the hope of mankind may rest in the paws of a Golden Retriever named Grover.

[Jeff Sexton]

Explosive Sequel With Humor And Heart From The New God Of Science Fiction. This is one of those sequels that does its jobs quite well indeed. Picking up shortly after the events of The Lost Tribe, we find our team testing out new strategies and techs when the action suddenly finds them. Splitting up the team ala his much earlier Chesspocalypse novellas, but within one book, we get a variety of mix and match scifi based action and adventure in a similar vein as some of the best sequences from Avengers: Infinity War.  

 

And then... that final battle and its outcome. Robinson has crafted some truly action packed and mind bending sequences for this part of some of his recent tales (such as in 2023's FAMINE, available only within the HUNGER: THE COMPLETE TRILOGY collection), and this one at minimum matches the insane and inventive action sequences there.

 

Finally... particularly if you pick this trilogy up after Book 3 (whose title is revealed at the end of this book) is released... you're going to want that Book 3 in your hands *immediately*, because the setup for this winner-takes-Earth-and-likely-the-universe battle royale is excellently done.

 

Overall truly yet another really fun tale from The New God Of Science Fiction, showing just how he has earned that title. Very much recommended.
