Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Best selling Amazon and Audible author John Conroe wrote his first readable novel, God Touched, right after finishing his daughter's copy of Twilight and muttering: "Vampires don't farging sparkle!"

With over twenty-five books in an urban fantasy series and a stand alone novel (Black Frost), as well as a sci fi trilogy, Zone War, and the fantasy series, The Shadows of Montshire, he doesn't seem to be slowing down. He cut his reading teeth on the likes of Robert E. Howard, Edgar Rice Burroughs, JRR Tolkien, Robert Heinlein, Andre Norton, and H. Beam Piper.

After writing for ten years he finally quit his day job, a thirty-two year career in banking, investments and financial planning. Writing full time, he regularly hunts paper targets at the range, dabbles in martial arts and takes long walks on Maine beaches with his amazingly patient wife.

5.0 out of 5 stars That Escalated Nicely

I have to thank Mr. Conroe for delivering yet another excellent reading experience. Fair warning that starting this book is making a time commitment. Once the plot stomps on the accelerator, real life and sleep be damned until you are finished.

There are so many aspects of this book I enjoyed. First let's talk action. As you’d expect, it’s copious, well written and in depth. Is it bad that I feel more knowledgeable about fight mechanics and the hardware of war just from reading Ajaya’s inner monologues of mid fight load out options strategizing? I’m certain I still know jack, but how Conroe integrates all that information together without disturbing the pace makes it all the more real for me. Oh and another word of advice before you start, clip the fingernails and remind yourself to breath. Roll your eyes all you want, but the suspense is coming. I got more than my therapeutic dose of coat potato cardio sneaking through the zone will Ajaya and all those damn killer drones.

Now I’m all about action. I can’t get enough of well thought out plot. But I’m telling ya man, characters. Well written characters are the hallmark of greatness. This book is another case in point where Conroe and his characters shine. Carefully woven through his action scenes are the continued evolution of Ajaya and Rikki. They are living and breathing the scenes right there with us and growing right in front of our eyes. I know this because after finishing this book, I’m not really geeking out of how successfully Conroe executed character dialog. No, I’m walking around with an authentic feeling of pride in my chest. I’m proud of Ajaya and Rikki for rising to the occasion and how they continue to handle themselves. Not that I’m throwing any shade on the dialog. The portrayal of soldiers mannerisms and spot on sarcasm, make this feel more like a documentary than a work a fiction. It’s like I’m in a hunting blind watching soldiers in their natural habitat.

Alright last part and I’m done. One aspect I always enjoy reading in Conroe books is his sense of social conscious. There is no burdening you down with a truck load of rhetoric. He simply provides you with strong role models and lets you make you own decisions. Namely, we get a peek behind the curtain of the competent and passionate people who serve as police, soldiers and support personnel which reminds us why they deserve our gratitude and respect. We also have female characters that are intelligent, intense, light hearted, motherly, witty, strong, and complex. I tip my hat to the sentiment, that we have come a long way towards the equal and fair treatment of women and though the reinforcement of where we are and where we have been is the path advancing us farther.

You’re a class act all the way Mr. Conroe. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this book and pushing your craft further. I can’t wait to read the next one. No seriously, any way we can move up time frames…

My only complaint is that Mr. Conroe doesn't write fast enough!!! This new Zone War series is an excellent addition to his body of work. An engaging, futuristic story, likeable and believable characters with interesting interaction with each other and enough action to be exciting. The technology is interesting as well, a somewhat dystopian (society is essentially still intact) illustration of how weaponized drones and AI might be misused. It reminds me a little of the world portrayed in the 1995 movie "Screamers" with Peter Weller. That story wasn't based upon earth but it was based on weaponized drones that developed their own intelligence and ultimately began manufacturing more, and more lethal, drones. The tech isn't so far out that it requires complete suspension of disbelief. My only thought is that the drones seem a little too easy to destroy. In reality I surmise they're quite a bit hardier than they're portrayed in the books. I also know how hard it is to hit a moving target, it's very difficult and requires lots and lots of ammo. The protagonist has almost superhuman capability to hit and eliminate the drones. I also think drone swarms would simply too numerous to overcome, unless it's accomplished electronically somehow. Not to detract from the story, this book and all of his books that I've read are just wonderful fun reads.

Back in the days before the term ‘deep state’ was taken seriously, the idea of an elite few controlling and culling the populace was just fiction with a bit of tongue in cheek. Mr. Conroe does a chilling job of making the threat very real. Great characters, and machines, a tight story line and the page turning suspense that keeps me up too late!

Book 1 introduced us to this amazing world, protagonist, and plot. Hardcore action and a dash of humor make it an excellent book. In here book 2 fleshes it out ramps it all up to a fever pitch. More action, more characters interacting, more plot, and a truly fantastic climax.

Recommended? Yep. I don’t even think about it any more: I just buy Conroe’s books every time he releases them. It just makes things simpler.

My first introduction to John Conroe was through his other series, The Demon Accords. With this series he took all here was doing with Demon Accords that made me love that series, and improved on them. Fast paced action that doesn't get bogged down in over explaining the action, or lost in exposition on what character s are thinking. Fully engaging characters that you can relate to and understand, warts and all, even the characters that only show up for short scenes leave a sense of depth that he builds on when or if they make a reappearance later in the story. He also manages to end each book with a sense a completeness that satisfies, yet leaves you eager for the next book to see how the full story progresses.
All in all excellent book.

Wem "Zone War" gefallen hat, der wird auch an "Borough of Bones" seine Freude haben. Ajaya ist wieder in der Zone und jagt Drohnen. Während die Zone gefährlich bleibt, wird auch das Leben außerhalb der Zone deutlich gefährlicher. John Conroe setzt seine Geschichte spannend fort und erhöht unterhaltsam den Einsatz. Für Conroe Fans ein Muss, für Fans von Sniper Science Fiction ein besonderer Fund, und für alle anderen spannend, manchmal lustig und ein Lesevergnügen. Auf den dritten und letzten Band dieser Trilogie freue ich mich jetzt schon.

Like others I have the same complaint regarding this book as I did the previous one in the series - I've finished it in one sitting and now I have to wait for the next one!
Faster paced than the previous entry with more of the background coming to life, I can't wait to see what's going to follow.
Much as I thoroughly enjoy the Demon Accords books I find Zone Wars to be easier to picture, much closer to home. If you're a fan of dystopian, more realistic sci-fi then this series is definitely well worth your time.
