Second Life of Mr. Hunt

Book 2: Sacrifices

After defeating a powerful enemy and recovering the ancient alien artifacts from Earth, Ryan Hunt’s life should be smooth sailing, but the universe has other plans.

While trying to cope with the memory of his kidnapping on Earth and attempting to mend his relationship with Dr. Kat, a new enemy emerges from the shadows—a force of evil more powerful than he had ever imagined.

Bent on acquiring the alien artifacts and destroying Ryan Hunt, this unstoppable, mysterious foe forces Ryan to risk his life, and the lives of his friends, to unlock the secrets of these ancient treasures.

But their time is running out.

With a psychotic enemy on his heels and a new ally with their own agenda, Ryan will travel to new worlds and secret locations, and face deadly opposition from beings he never thought possible, from corporate vampire lords to a hideous doll lady and her patchwork minions.

No one ever looks to be a hero.

The Second Life of Mr. Hunt shows us what can happen when an ordinary man is forced to become one.

Book Reviews

“The wonderful thing about life is discovering what you are capable of.”

Whoa. I just finished this one last night, after reading the first book over the summer. This one starts off with a Bang, a really great beginning flashback. Then we meet Ryan and Kat again but things are different after what happened in Book One, especially for Kat. Of course a new adventure/danger presents itself and our whole gang are once again off on a mission of saving an entire species this time. I had a bit more trouble following the plot, but honestly I am not sure that mattered! The new characters introduced here, along with more polished writing, some pretty deep life statements woven in, and THAT DOLL….. great little addition!

Overeem is a local author in my area, and I met him at a vendor faire in the Spring of 2022. Hit it off and thought, I am a Reader, I will read just about anything, let me give this sci-fi series a try and support a local author. Win win! And now I find out that while I did buy his three books, there is a FOURTH one coming! Whoo hoo! How I love a series. So, halfway there, can’t wait to see where Ryan and Kat go next, how their relationship grows, and what Nora is going to do about it. HA! I hope Vicki shows up again, she is fun to hate, and we saw a bit of a softer side of her in this book – for about 5 minutes – but it is there. Overeem’s imagination continues to offer fascinating ideas of what future life could be like, popping over to another planet just like we drive to the Grand Canyon now. Interesting technology, ideas about DNA enhancement, neural commands, and surviving black holes all make for serious brain candy. Plus, Ryan is just a fun guy – always cracking a joke even when being blasted with lasers or facing down evil spliced species. And, wait til you meet his car.

If you like super nerdy space adventures and technology and computers who have feelings, this is a great place to spend an afternoon/weekend. Fun stuff. Thank you Gerrit!

“After reading the first book, I immediately ordered 2 and 3. I could not put this book down. Great sci-fi.”

“In this second book of the Ryan Hunt series the action does heat up. There is no down time in the story as you read it, the story moves along at a steady pace. Looking forward to book three in the series and any further ones to come.”
