Book 2 of the Axe series, “Forging the Axe”, is about three highly successful entrepreneurs: a master negotiator, a ruthless investment banker, and a nanotech scientist. After they build a huge new company with their innovative Hydron super-battery, they are given the opportunity to trade their Hydron recipe for the design of an advanced alien matter transmitter. Is humanity ready for such advanced technology? The aliens are skeptical; they think it’s like handing a loaded gun to a baby. Bud, the scientist of the group proves them wrong. Using their plans, he builds an immense matter transmitter capable of transmitting men and material to the moon. It's suddenly cheap and easy to get people and materials there. But the moon presents its own problems due to the low gravity. And the federal government--the military in particular--sees the matter transmitter as a game changer on par with nuclear weapons in the last century. They want it, and they're thinking of seizing it for national security reasons. Against this backdrop of intrigue, Bud falls in love with a dangerous woman. His cat, Jasper, helps him cope. Jasper has a lot to say about it, using his sophisticated Worldnet collar to do the talking. Are our three business tycoons going to see their world fall apart when the military tries to take their alien technology away from them? But they have a bigger problem. The Resolvers are back, and this highly advanced alien race decides it's time to destroy Earth, just to keep things orderly in this part of the galaxy.

After reading the first book, I was pleased to find the characters were not locked into behaving in a predictable way. This allowed the book to go in a different direction than I thought it was going. I highly recommend Forging the Axe as well as the first in the series, The Way of the Axe. I am looking forward to the next one!

0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A political satire (truism?) By Ronald Q. Smith I really wanted to love this story as much as I did the first one. It just didn't work as well for me. Instead of being science fiction, the story became the big bad military complex against the savvy business man. While I think the consequences in the story are very likely what would happen in reality, it just didn't make a fun story for me. Part of that was the lack of any personal development in any of the characters - much less than in the first story. Bud is still a do-nothing-but-complain wimp; Karen is a do-anything-that-will-get-me-ahead tyrant; and Davis is the super salesman with all the problems solved by negotiation.Davis doesn't seem to know much about running a company either. He doesn't make good use of the skills of either Bud or Karen. Bud should be put in a lab, which he obviously wants, and allowed to develop new science. A good boss he will never be. Karen should probably be forced out or at least given a job where she can't dominate other people. She might make a good CFO.I really wanted to see more of Bud and more actual science and technology development, but all that happened was copying the SAM's technology with no real thinking. I think it all boiled down to: the first story was just fun, this one wasn't. The big issue was that I just couldn't like Davis. He had no empathy for anyone; no one he liked or cared about. He just had a huge frustration, deservedly, that everyone else including his partners, the military, and the president were just too stupid to understand what needed to be done, and too stupid to understand that only Davis could do it right. In fact, everyone in the story was just frustrated with their situation. That's probably almost always true, but when that's pretty much the whole plot it gets a bit old.I get that Mr. Preville is a super salesman and a very successful one. I can understand him wanting to write a story with that type of person as a hero. I think that is great, but I guess I'm more of a techie and wanted to see more of the techie angle. There's nothing wrong with his storytelling; it just didn't give me as much of what I wanted. Davis didn't use his people effectively. Instead, he went around them and just did everything his way. I didn't end up liking him at all. For a great "salesman" lead see D.D. Harriman in the classic "The Man Who Sold the Moon" by Robert Heinlein: The Man Who Sold the Moon and Orphans of the Sky.BTW. I still don't like those "axe" analogies at the end of every chapter. They don't add anything and don't even make much sense.I did like the scope of the story and the interaction with the aliens although they seemed a bit too human. I thought the reactions of the military, politicians and hate groups were very well done and very real sounding. I loved Jasper on the Moon and especially his emotion-reading collar. I liked the future world picture and wanted to see more of it developed. I will be looking forward to any future books because in spite of my frustrations (see, I'm just like the characters in the book), I like the world he built and the scope of the story.
