The Chronicles of the Invaders trilogy by John Connolly and Jennifer Ridyard
I have read John Connolly’s Charlie Parker novels for years. Those are crime / suspense / with a touch of Dean Koontz supernatural thrown in. John is from Ireland. His partner, Jennifer Ridyard is British born but grew up in South Africa; currently she resides with John in Ireland.
So when I saw a Sci-Fi series by Connolly I was intrigued.
1. Conquest - it revolves around an alien species conquering Earth and the resistance that forms
2. Empire - the focus shifts somewhat to a split among the Aliens and an uneasy alliance between Earth resistance and some factions of the Alien Invaders against the other ruling faction; and
3. Dominion - the finale. I won’t tell you how it ends.
The trilogy was an interesting and entertaining read. I won’t say they are my favorite Sci-fi book series I’ve read but they certainly are not the worst. There are elements of overcoming prejudices, building trust, deception and betrayals, and love / romance.
If you enjoy action, suspense, romance and Sci-fi all thrown together, then you will probably enjoy this trilogy.
They are a departure from the normal books one expects from John Connolly but not an unpleasant departure.
