**3-Star Review: *The Gods of War* by Graham Brown & Spencer J. Andrews**

*The Gods of War* by Graham Brown and Spencer J. Andrews is an action-packed, sci-fi adventure set in a post-apocalyptic world where remnants of humanity struggle to survive against deadly threats, both human and supernatural. The story follows several characters as they navigate power struggles, mysterious ancient artifacts, and high-stakes battles for survival.

Brown and Andrews excel at creating a cinematic atmosphere, with vivid descriptions and intense action sequences that make the book feel like a blockbuster. The novel’s pacing is swift, with constant twists and turns that keep readers engaged, and the world-building hints at a layered, complex backstory filled with mystery and intrigue.

However, the focus on action sometimes overshadows character development, making it hard to connect deeply with the protagonists. Additionally, while the plot is compelling, it occasionally feels chaotic or overstuffed with sci-fi elements, which may overwhelm readers looking for a more streamlined story. Some of the themes and conflicts could have been explored more fully for greater emotional impact.

Overall, *The Gods of War* is an entertaining sci-fi adventure with a lot of action and energy, ideal for fans of fast-paced post-apocalyptic tales. It’s an enjoyable read, though it may not leave a lasting impression.

Great science fiction book, with new technology but a slightly old-fashioned-scifi-book edge, which is a very good thing in my opinion. There was plenty of action, which made it an easy read, although there were thoughtful aspects to the plot. I really enjoyed reading this, and once committed to the story (which came quite quickly), found it a compelling read that was hard to put down.
