If Rose and her team can’t come up with solutions, there may be nothing left. Now Earth and all its people are threatened by an alien force that they have no hope of overpowering. Meanwhile, robot pilots Kara and Vincent enjoy their life on the road with Themis, taking the giant robot on a worldwide goodwill tour to promote international cooperation and harmony. Rose Franklin heads up the efforts, under the ever-present guidance of the unnamed man who pulls the strings. Over the course of the intervening decade, the ragtag team of scientists and robot-wranglers has evolved into an organized global force called the EDC (Earth Defense Corps).
Waking Gods picks up the story ten years after the ending of Sleeping Giants. (I read - and loved - Sleeping Giants last year. And also thanks to her input, I first listened to book #1 of the Themis Files - Sleeping Giants - as a refresher. and maybe even the stars.Īt the advice of the fabulous Bonnie at For the Love of Words, I decide to listen to Waking Gods rather than read a print version. The greatest weapon humanity wields is knowledge in a do-or-die battle to inherit the Earth. They can turn the tide if they can unlock the last secrets of an advanced alien technology.
But Rose and her team at the Earth Defense Corps refuse to surrender. Now humankind faces a nightmare invasion scenario made real, as more colossal machines touch down across the globe. But the truth is closer than ever before when a second robot, more massive than the first, materializes and lashes out with deadly force. As an adult, she’s dedicated her brilliant scientific career to solving the mystery that began that fateful day: Why was a titanic robot of unknown origin buried in pieces around the world? Years of investigation have produced intriguing answers-and even more perplexing questions. As a child, Rose Franklin made an astonishing discovery: a giant metallic hand, buried deep within the earth.
