The thrilling sequel to Nicholas Sansbury Smith's bestselling OrbsWhen one of their own is captured, Dr. Sophie Winston and her team of survivors must exit the safety of their biosphere and fight off the growing horde of aliens.The Organics are still draining the oceans, raising temperatures worldwide, and the few remaining humans have been herded into farms, where the water in their bodies is harvested to support the growing alien army. Humanity's last chance lies with the biospheres that the mysterious New Tech Corporation has planted across the globe. With resources dwindling, and a new, more terrifying form of alien hunting humans down, not all the biospheres will make it.But there is still hope. In Sophie's biosphere, her team has managed to create a magnetic weapon that just might give the human resistance a fighting chance-if they can live long enough to use it. Meanwhile, the lone survivor of another failed biosphere treks across the California desert to the ocean and is rescued by an NTC submarine that has been tracking the movements of Sophie's team and the development of their magnetic weapon.An exciting update of the classic alien invasion story, Orbs II weaves together horror, suspense, and science fiction in a thoroughly gripping, fresh, modern book.… (altro)

A great followup to an already decent start. Nice character development and the overall writing style was very much to my liking. A good mix of action and suspense. The ending was perhaps slightly dull and I could predict the development of a certain character from halfway into the book.

Already started readings Orbs III! ( )

Orbs is a science fiction thriller that keeps you cringing and worrying about what's out there and what could happen if it came here! Set in the far future, earth is in trouble- we've abused natural resources and now, what's left is wanted by another more ominous, vicious being. Can humanity be saved? The Orbs series, written by Nicholas Sansbury Smith, is one of the best sci-fi tales I've read this year so far!

Oh the humanity! This was SO Good! The story was action packed and so full of explanation. Filled with bigger and smarter monsters Orbs II: Stranded was a pleaser!

​ The team is tired of reacting to the attacks of the Organics and decide to take themselves of a few missions. Discoveries are made, inner-strengths are formed and lives are sacrificed and even lost. Can they fight, or possibly even defeat the alien creatures? And will they find out who's working the worker beings?

​ I'm almost sad this series is about to end! It's amazing, the creatures, the action, everything about this book says Share with the world! You've gotta check it out.

The story from "Orbs I" continues, with the gang from the Colorado bio-dome developing a device that can destroy the aliens force shields. They are joined by some military characters from a submarine who have a super military helicopter.

While they make some progress against the aliens, the planet seems pretty doomed. I'll be curious to see how this plays out in the third book, as it's difficult to picture that there is any recovery possible for the planet.

So . . . all the water is being sucked out of the planet, and out of all the beings that have bodies that are largely water (yes, humans, that's mostly what we are!).

I gave this three stars as I like the ideas well enough, but would like a bit more character development and a little less action (I can only read about the alien spider attacks so many times before my eyes just glaze over). Sometimes it seems that the behaviors are a bit juvenile and silly when humanity is being wiped out right and left, but who knows, maybe people would really act that way. I just haven't felt attached to any of the characters yet. But I"m in for the third book, just to find out what happens. :) ( )

This is the second book in the series. I would like to note that I thoroughly enjoyed the first one. Aliens scare me to death. In this book, I already knew about the Aliens, so they were a little less scary. I knew the characters, that's nice as well. We know where we stand and what is going on. Well when I say that the Aliens we less scary and that I already knew the characters, I am really saying I thought I had these Aliens' number and I had all the characters stuck in their little comfy boxes. Its nice to be pleasantly surprised. The story did not go in the direction I assumed and there were some unexpected twists and the Aliens got even more scary. My major complaint is that there is obviously going to be 3rd book for me to read. ( )
