Synopsis

The Maritime Unit had landed in paradise. After a terrifying ten-year transit from Solar System aboard the Ashanti, the small band of oceanographers and marine scientists were finally settled. Perched on a reef five hundred kilometers out from shore, they were about to embark on the first exploration of Donovan's seas. For the twenty-two adults and nine children, everything is new, exciting, and filled with wonder as they discover dazzling sea creatures, stunning plant life, and fascinating organisms.

But Donovan is never what it seems; the changes in the children were innocuous--oddities of behavior normal to kids who'd found themselves in a new world. Even then it was too late. An alien intelligence, with its own agenda, now possesses the children, and it will use them in a most insidious way: as the perfect weapons.

How can you fight back when the enemy is smarter than you are, and wears the face of your own child?

Welcome to Donovan.

Goodreads review by Tammy on June 07, 2021

The nitty-gritty: Gear kills it in his latest Donovan installment, a high-octane adventure that is almost impossible to put down. “How bad can it be?” Dek wondered. “If it’s just people, like Tal says, we knock a couple of heads. If it’s beasties, we’ve got rifles. Problem solved.” How bad indeed...Ge......more

Goodreads review by Vinay on June 21, 2021

A 4.5 starrer. This is a terrific entry in the Donovan series. This is really SF horror done fabulously right. Michael Gear peels the layers on Donovan further by focusing on a newer side of the planet like he did in the previous book - the ocean. And lo, Donovan doesnt disappoint. So far, we have se......more

Goodreads review by Mark on June 21, 2021

When the Donovan series launched I was enthralled with the brutal reality of what colonizing a distant planet would be like. From the apex predators that dominate the planet to the cold hard reality of knowing that you are truly alone on a hostile planet with no help immediately available, I loved r......more
