It only takes one to make a difference.
Just days before Jake Saunders plans on proposing to the love of his life, Jake is called upon once again to save his home, Earth. The Earthen Legion troops and its allies think they’re battling only pirates, but a new, more powerful foe from another galaxy flanks their forces and invades, in search of a weapon the planet didn’t even know it had.
When Jake learns that this new enemy was responsible for the death of his father many years ago, he realizes he can finally face his true nemesis. The odds are stacked against Jake, but with the help of his friends and allies he’s made along the way, he must rally the remaining Legion troops and retake Earth before it’s too late. The fate of Earth and the fate of his love, rest in the balance.

Book Description:
Caught between love and revenge, Jake has one chance to live up to the man his uncle was.
Earth crashed into interstellar politics as a lightweight, lagging so far behind other planetary weapons systems everyone feared they wouldn’t survive first contact with other worlds without quick action. By 2185, Earth had united itself into five geographic sectors and developed a defense system powerful enough to keep aggressors at bay—for now, at least.
Jake Saunders became a Legion soldier to honor the memory of his war hero uncle, who was brutally murdered in front of him when he was still a young teen. Fast forward a few years, and Jake and his best friend Cal have been tasked with escorting Cal’s older sister Diane to become Earth’s ambassador on a far-off planet. It’s the opportunity of Diane’s career, very likely a lifetime post. But for Jake, that could mean a lifetime’s heartbreak. He has loved Diane since they were kids, and every step closer to that ambassador assignment is a step closer to goodbye.
But somebody is after more than Earth’s defense, and Jake, Cal, and Diane are on a trajectory to crash headlong into that dangerous plot. Somebody wants to play Earth against its most immediate threat, Craton, and convince both to develop super weapons—and he’s working with the person who killed Jake’s uncle all those years ago. When he reappears on Jake, Cal, and Diane’s journey to the ambassadorship, Jake is faced with difficult choices to look out for his friends and honor his uncle’s memory.

My Review:
The Darker the Skies is the second installment from the Earth United series by Bryan Prosek. I had the pleasure of reading book one of the series, The Brighter the Stars and was excited to have the opportunity to read this one. I was not disappointed. Since this is part of a series, it would be best to start with the first book to get a better idea as to what is going on in the current plot. It was great catching up with Jake and his friends to find out the adventure that awaits this time around. I thought it was entertaining to go along the story to see what was in store for him. The tale was fast paced and full of action that made me want to keep reading. I thought it was a great read that I could not put down and had no problem having the whole book read in just two evenings.
I am giving The Darker the Skies will be getting five stars from me. Fans, including teens, of science fiction, young adult and fantasy will most definitely want to give it a read, as well as, the first installment from the Earth United series. I will on the lookout for most exciting books from Bryan Prosek to see where his imagination will take his readers to next.
I received a paperback copy of The Darker the Skies from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
