Book 2 of 2: The Nahx Invasions

See all formats and editions

Two teens fight for their lives after an alien invasion in this heart-stopping follow-up to Zero Repeat Forever.

Humans. Clones. Aliens. No one is safe anymore. It’s the end of the world.

Xander Liu survived the alien invasion—just barely. For more than a year, he has outsmarted, hidden from, and otherwise avoided the ruthless intruders, the Nahx, dodging the deadly darts that have claimed so many. When the murder of his friend leaves him in the protective company of August, a rebellious Nahx soldier, Xander is finally able to make his way back to human controlled territory and relative safety. But safety among the humans is not what it seems.

When Raven awakes on a wide expanse of snowy sand dunes, she has many questions. What has happened to her and the other reanimated humans gathered around her? What is the meaning of the Nahx ships that hover ominously above them? And most pressing of all, where is August, who promised to keep her safe?

In the shadow of an unforgiving Canadian winter, Xander and Raven find themselves on opposite sides of an alien war. Left with little choice about their roles in the looming battle, they search for answers and allies all while being drawn back to the place where their respective fates were determined, and to the one who determined them: August.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“A powerful story that will force you to rethink how we view war and how we define humanity. I couldn’t put this book down!” -- Holly Bodger, acclaimed author of 5 to 1

“Teens will love the pace and dialogue. As Raven and Eighth find themselves on an intersecting path, readers will be sucked into humanity’s struggle to survive and the Nahx’s all too focused efforts to ensure that it doesn’t. VERDICT: A first purchase for teen collections.” ― School Library Journal

“Detailed settings and swift action make this novel an edge-of-your-seat page-turner.” ― VOYA Magazine

“A taut page-turner with a strange and surprising love story at its core, Zero Repeat Forever will capture every reader who dares to pick it up.” -- Lena Coakley, bestselling author of Worlds of Ink and Shadow

Thrilling 2nd book in an already thrilling trilogy. Riveting, moving, and bittersweet.

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2019

I was one of the lucky ducks who received an ARC of Zero Repeat Forever and absolutely fell in love with August, and Raven, but mostly August. It was such a lovely find and with that ending, I was ready for the next book. Prepare yourself for Cold Falling White.

Divided into two narratives, Raven and Xander this time, CFW picks up where ZRF ends. After Raven’s death, August takes Xander under his wing and helps him past the drone web so he can be with the humans still alive in the lower elevations. Meanwhile (not a spoiler) all those darted by the Nahx army and assumed dead are coming back to life, including characters we met in the first book. But they are no longer human--they have a glittery sheen and superhuman abilities. No spoiler, Raven is now one of the glittery superhumans which makes her that much more kickass.

Like the first book, CFW keeps the two narratives apart for most of the book. Similar to when I was reading ZRF, I kept chomping at the bit on this one as well: When would these two characters finally find each other??? The answer: It’s complicated. While Raven is trying to figure out what happened--why has she and other humans who’ve been darted evolved into people who can jump ravines and survive injury, and where the hell are August and Xander--she begins to piece together the hows and whys of the Nahx invasion. Hundreds of miles away, Xander finds himself dealing with anger management issues and is soon running with a group of mercenary humans who capture Nahx, then film themselves as they torture and kill the aliens. This part of Xander’s story painfully reminds the reader how horrible humans are and how Internet videos and rabid fans encourage these vile creatures.

And August? It’s complicated.

This book is thrilling, riveting, moving and bittersweet. There are hair-raising battle scenes, compelling relationships with new Nahx characters, prickly reunions, a touching M/M relationship, painful sacrifices and a mind-blowing answer to the Nahx invasion. And for those of you not keen on cliffhanger endings and prefer to wait for the next book to come out, this is one of them. I don’t regret reading this and now have to wait.

Highly recommended.

I adore everything about this book, from the sci-fi technology, to the heartfelt romance, to the incredible world building and characters.

BUT. The author has told me her publishers don’t want to continue the series so it’s being dropped. I genuinely am heartbroken for this series to be cut off right at its climax. I don’t know, if we make enough noise can we annoy them into realizing how much of a gem this series is?
Please and thank you

An Amazing Sequel of An Amazing Series

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2021

I did not know what to expect when I started the Nahx Invasions series. I had no idea what the book was about. I couldn't put the first one down (Zero Repeat Forever), and I couldn't read Cold Falling White fast enough! It has a compelling, original story, it continues from the first seamlessly. The characters are diverse and multifaceted. There's romance, there's action. There's twists that I didn't see coming. It's everything I wanted in a YA Science Fiction Novel.

Talented storyteller, and yea it’s dystopian

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2020

A love note for the author: When I began Cold Falling White, the first two pages gave me the feeling I have when I’m adjusting to contacts or putting glasses on, nothing that I’m seeing a perceiving is just right until a few minutes and a series of blinks. It just feels so foreign. Jumping into dialogue and setting like that told me I was in the hands of a good storyteller. I’m glad I got paperback, because it folds easier into my purse or in one hand ...because I’m reading at stoplights and in parking lots and all over my house. It is not lost on me that you created a storyline, a second language (which is not made of nonsense words)! We readers have to perceive the sign language! You beautifully write thoughts and actions that don’t distract or halt the narrative, but coax it along. I’m only on page 300 right now, but I’ve also been reading for two days while mothering toddlers and prepping for Christmas! Yours is the first book I have picked up in months due to work demands. Thank you for this gift, this is something just for me and no one else.

I NEED MORE!!

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2021

When I say I have fallen in love with this story, I mean it with everything in me. I ordered the first book, Zero Repeat Forever, thinking I would add it to my "To Be Read" pile and eventually I would get to it. I had just finished a book when it finally came in, so I opened it to the first page before placing it in my pile. Next thing I knew, I was three chapters in. I finished it in a couple of days. I immediately ordered Cold Falling White and anxiously awaited its arrival. I received it late one afternoon and was half way through it before I went to bed.

The characters in this story are so relatable, despite them going through an apocalyptical world. I found it hard to put this book down and couldn't wait to find out what happened next. G.S. Prendergast does an incredible job bringing her characters to life and showing us her world, not just telling.

I NEED THE THIRD BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!

After reading the first book, I of course had to read this one! OH MY GOSH, it’s even better than what I expected. Cliffhangers! I am dying to see when we get a third book out for this series. The author is also a wonderful, kind person! She is on TikTok & keeps her followers up to date with her books. I recommend this book for everyone. I hope this series comes out on TV one day, it’s that good. The character development was outstanding. And impressive that the author was able to portray different character thoughts throughout the book. 10/10. -Kenia & Chris

I do not like dystopian books. But this is so much more. These books are amazing. The story is deep, multi layered and reflective. It’s like nothing I’ve ever read before and I have no idea where the story could be going. And I swear on all that is sacred in the book world, if Simon and shuster do not release the 3rd book and I die not knowing the ending to the store I will come back and HAUNT every single person that didn’t believe in prendergast
