A review by cherime
The IX by Andrew P. Weston

5.0

First, let’s get this out of the way. I was given a review copy of this book for a fair and honest review. Anyone who reads my reviews, know I usually only post the ones where I can give a 5 or 4 star. Anything else I contact the author and attempt to explain why I can’t do better. That said, this is not just another 5 star review. I would give this one at least an 8 if it were possible. I stayed up way too late to finish the book. It not only had me on the edge of my seat, it twisted me into knots at the end. Whoa! This is a science fiction story to get and hold on to. It is an amazing work with a mind boggling conclusion. Frankly, I’m still processing it. Excellent, fantastic story! The author’s imagination leaves me gasping.

Warriors snatched at the moment of death from Earth, find themselves in a struggle on another planet. The enemy is one that does not mind dying to obtain their ends. But what is the goal? How did they get to this point in time?

This 9th group of warriors holds the fate of the entire world in their hands. They are the last the world can bring to bear on the enemy. Wow! What a tale.
