How do we fight the weather?

The Lazarus Protocol, the corporate plan to reengineer the Earth’s atmosphere, has failed. The mysterious Cassandra and her Neo zealots have weaponized the weather, Anthony Taulke is in jail, Ming Qinlao is on the run, and Colonel Graves is left to clean up the mess.
Meanwhile, we the people pay the price—in blood and treasure.
But the machinery of the corporation is not dead yet. As Anthony hatches a new scheme to undo the damage caused by the Lazarus Protocol, he makes new alliances and stabs old friends in the back. Flushed out of hiding, Ming Qinlao risks everything to reclaim her family name. And a war-weary William Graves is forced to choose between his duty and his conscience.
Edge-of-your-seat space battles. Cloak-and-dagger corporate intrigue. Heartbreaking stories of love and betrayal. Cassandra’s War is the second exciting chapter in The SynCorp Saga, the dark sci-fi series brought to you by the bestselling writing team of Bruns & Pourteau.

    David Bruns earned a Bachelor of Science in Honors English from the United States Naval Academy. (That's not a typo. He's probably the only English major you'll ever meet who took multiple semesters of calculus, physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, naval architecture, and weapons systems just so he could read some Shakespeare. It was totally worth it.)

    Following six years as a US Navy submarine officer, David spent twenty years in the high-tech private sector. A graduate of the prestigious Clarion West Writers Workshop, he is the author of over twenty novels and dozens of short stories. Today, he co-writes contemporary national security thrillers with retired naval intelligence officer, J.R. Olson.

David Bruns and Chris Pourteau keep the action right on track. Book Two of the SynCorps Saga picks right up where The Lazarus Protocol left off. We see the NEOs disrupting the world’s governments via deadly weather systems, the U.S. trying to save as many Americans as they can through the Haven Domes, through humanitarian aid, and through relocating survivors to safer areas. We see the major corporations whom we met in Book One plotting against each other. Within their own board room, its father against son; aunt against niece and lover against lover. If you think you can stand the constant action, the plotting and just plain rock’um sock’um action then buy Cassandra’s War and get reading.

Good stuff! I started with the series that technically follows this one. That should tell you something. I'm bidding my time until the next book comes out and had to have more. Who says going back in time can't be a trip. Rollercoaster action, good self characters. I'm a fan!

4.0 out of 5 stars Twists and turns galore
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2018
SynCorp Saga book 2 has a bit of a different focus than the first book in the series. Here, action and plots by the characters take front stage, resulting in a lot of plot twists to go with the action. There were a few surprises to me. Character development was secondary, as the main characters had been well presented in book 1.

If action is your thing you will like this book. Personally, I preferred the tightly written plot of the first book, but this one still had a lot of strong points.

I have read everything that Pournelle and Niven did together, everything that Heinlein wrote, and everthing that Scalzi has written so far. I am happy to add Pourteau and Bruns to my list of MUST READ authors.

Well written. Good depth of characters. Looking forward to the next book in the series. Two women in charge with AIs in their heads is a scary thing.

This is a follow-on book to “Lazarus Protocol”. If you liked that book, you probably aren’t going to bother to read reviews- you’ll just buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars You really need to read the Lazarus Protocol first
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 9, 2019

This is the second book in the series and whilst a complete read in itself you really need to read the Lazarus Protocol first to understand the world in which this book is set. At the end of the first book we are left with a number of unanswered questions and a world in turmoil, all these are resolved in this second book but the plot moves on and this book sets the scene for the third in the series. There are some new characters introduced in the book and we are left with two possible story lines, one of could well become a second series.
These stories are based on the problems of managing climate change and the response of corporations to solving the problem, with some extreme solutions.
I found these two books to be well written with a clever way of showing how each of the major characters reacts to changing circumstances a great read that I did not want to put down, looking forward to reading the third in the series.
