ONSET: My Enemy's Enemy Kindle Edition

by Glynn Stewart (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 1,686 ratings
A paranormal agency in tatters
A critical alliance that must not fail
A betrayal in their darkest hour

The demon Ekhmez ripped out the heart of America’s supernatural defenders and strengthened their foes. The agencies of the Omicron branch of the US government face a newly expanded threat with their resources stretched to the breaking point.

To hold the line, newly promoted Commander David White of ONSET is sent to forge an alliance with the Elfin Conclave, a supernatural organization with its own history, grudges and politics.

When violence wracks the Conclave and guts the allies they sought, David White must hunt the Elfin’s foes across the Pacific northwest, taking any help that comes his way—because when the world is on fire, can you turn away your enemy’s enemy?

    5.0 out of 5 stars No sophomore slump for this series!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2016
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Often with a new series, especially if the first book is a hit, the second book will suffer from the "sophomore slump", an inability to live up to the first effort, in this case the first book in the series, ONSET: To Serve and Protect. Fortunately for Stewart's readers, this is not the case with ONSET: My Enemy's Enemy. The book opens with a bang and never slows down.

    In the aftermath of David White's defeat of the demon Ekhmez, the ONSET agent finds himself promoted to Commander of an elite strike team of enhanced humans and at the forefront of the battle to protect the mundane citizens of the United States - and also to keep them in ignorance of the supernatural forces that surround them. This task is made harder because the battle with Ekhmez gutted the ranks of paranormal protectors and their human support staff and Ekhmez, while defeated, managed to weaken the Seal of Solomon. With Solomon's Seal weakened magic is leaking back into our realm, making it easier for demons to cross over into our world, and also bringing out latent powers in humans and awakening supernatural creatures - creatures out of legend - that have slumbered for millennia away from the sight of humanity.

    Against this background of turmoil and change, David White is sent to head up security at a summit between the U.S. Government's Omicron Agency, the organization tasked with dealing with all things paranormal, and the Elvin Conclave, an organization of private supernatural citizens, inspired by the world of Tolkien, with its own history and internal political structure. The purpose of the summit - to forge an agreement between the two groups that will result in Elven support in Omicron's fight against paranormal enemies of the people of the United States.

    A vicious and overwhelming attack while the summit is in session leaves Omicron personnel killed at the hand of rogue Elven agents and four high ranking Elven lords dead. With the summit in shambles and ONSET's future ability to serve and protect the unknowing citizenry of the U.S. at stake, White and his team are given seven days to find and deliver the traitor responsible.

    What follows is enough action for anyone and in the process we find out more about this new world Stewart has created. This book is a fun read - popcorn fiction at its best and I mean that in a truly complementary fashion. Sometimes I was to just read a book that is fun: a good plot, likable characters, lots of action, and conflict between good and evil (where good triumphs because of the inherent nobility of the protagonist). ONSET: My Enemy's Enemy delivers.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Solid sequel
    Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2017
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    A few weeks after the disaster with which part 1 ended, Omnicron is still reeling. David and his fellow ONSET members are overworked and the organization needs help fast with the president of the USA making it even more difficult to recruit people. Omnicron has to look elsewhere, namely amongst the elfin. Of course, things do not run smoothly and David is straight in the middle of it all. Things go violent and the investigation that follows is no less violent.

    The book is written in the same style as in part 1, and if you like that book, you like this one. It is more of an action novel than a mystery one, but that should be expected for those who have read book 1. I like the action, and despite the powers of David, the sense of genuine threat to his well-being and success feels real. The book does a bit of world building, but there is more of a story structure than in book 1. A good thing in my opinion. It also has a solid ending while hinting towards something more.

    Of course, it is an action novel, so a reader should expect a bit over the top violence and aggressive behavior from the villains and reaction from the government is equally lackluster. It might be a deal breaker for some though. Mind you, David lacks the big picture, so we do not know if there is a better reason than currently presented for the actions within the book. I certainly keep wondering about the fatality rate. It feels awefully high, not necessarily in regards to the type of opponents, but how do you keep things secret and expect the limitations to recruitment (especially for more mundane functions like communication and data analysis)? You would expect the government making dealing with these kind of threats the highest priority. After all, how often do you contemplate throwing a nuke on New-York?

    Finally, I am not an overly big fan of explaning things and people again after having done so in book 1. I would assume ever reader of book 2 has read book 1. There were not many such paragraphs, but enough for me to note it.

    All in all, worthy sequel to part 1 which I thoroughly enjoyed readin and looking forward to the next book which hopefully answers a thing or two on what the hack is going on in regards to the seal and the congress/president's lackluster reaction to it.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2018

    Another great Onset read. Spoiler alert.

    This one starts with demons in an apartment complex and Commander White and his strike team thirteen clearing them out. The teams are being run ragged because they lost loads of team members with the black sun operation. Onset is using everyone to try to cover their lack of strike teams.

    The Committee, who are a bunch of political idiots, don't seem to see a problem. Of course they sit safe in their DC offices while White and the rest of the teams do the dirty work of keeping America safe from demons and those coming out of the cracked Seal.

    In order to beef up the Onset ranks White and his team will be body guards to the Elfin Conclave. Elf's are paranormal warriors and mages. Two of them Langley and Riley are pushing for the Elfin Conclave to back Onset and become team members.

    Once on site team thirteen will be responsible for security. It all goes wrong when vamps invade.

    So begins another damned fine read.

    This one has David, Kate, Riley, Charles the oh so smart dragon, team thirteen,, a traitor among the elves, a battle that has specific targets, the attackers who leave, the Elf Council who blame White for the attack, a White who finds out there is far more to the attack that they thought and David White doing his best to save who he can, protect America, survive and stay alive.

    More supernatural fights scattered through this book as the MC storms buildings and terrorist compounds in a time restricted investigation into a terrorist attack on ONSETs potential allies. The MC is now in his stride of leading a small team of supernatural soldiers against supernatural enemies and their supporters. An enjoyable and entertaining read in this series.

    I'm a big fan of the Starship's Mage series by Glynn Stewart and I now like his move into urban fantasy too! This is the second book in the ONSET series and the story continues where the first book ended. As always with his stories I find the the book has enough detail to describe the characters and situations but the story flows at a suitable pace to keep me reading. I enjoyed the story and think this is a worthy addition to the series and I'm looking forward to the next one. I would definitely recommend giving this book (and the series) a go.

    Note: I received a free electronic copy in exchange for an unbiased review (but liked it enough to buy a copy anyway)
