mrb404's review against another edition
5.0
Dynamo is the second entry into Bartlett’s Mech Wars series. The story delivers on its name. It truly is a dynamo! Bartlett will be a force to be reckoned with in the Military SF genre in the near future.
Dynamo begins after the events in Powered. Humanity is discovering more about the Mechs and how best to utilize them. Bartlett continues painting the war as Hell theme as Darkstream appears more duplicitous than ever. It leaves the question, if someone built Mechs that humans can use, why not Mechs Quatros can use?
The book is a page-turner! The plot takes some surprising twists and ends on an amazing cliffhanger.
Note: This reviewer received an ARC from the author in exchange for constructive feedback and an honest review.

This is the second volume of a quadrilogy continuing the saga of a group of mech warriors. There's plenty of combat, aliens, and action but it's pretty hard to keep track of the shifting alliances, the number of characters each with a subplot of their own and how they dovetail into the main plot. Nevertheless, this is only the second book so looking forward to the next episode.
