Dark Dawn (The Exlian Syndrome, #2)

The thrilling sequel to Advent, Dark Dawn is the second book in the action-packed Exlian Syndrome series from Seth Ring.

The mission is reclaim a mine lost to the Exlian Threat. Survival? Unlikely.

Mark’s life has been thrown into turmoil over the last year and he has the nagging feeling it’s about to get worse. A lot worse.

Being assigned to a deployment with New Emery’s Engineering Corps without receiving any of the prerequisite training is bad enough, but when Mark meets the oddball crew he’ll be traveling with he realizes there’s more to this mission than meets the eye.

Mark’s not sure how they’re going to deal with the Exlian Nest that’s made its home in the mine, but at least he’s not entirely alone. Thrown together with a commanding officer who has never set foot outside the city, a pair of brothers whose greatest wish is to die a glorious death, and a genius researcher with dangerous—unstable—ideas, he ventures into the wilderness to reclaim the abandoned manastone mine.

Accompanied by his mysterious pet cat, Mime, Mark will have to leverage everything he’s learned over the last tumultuous year—and maybe even invent a few new tricks—if he’s going to make it back to New Emery in one piece.
