On a bright July morning in 1948, a B-29 Superfortress flying a top-secret research mission over Nevada crashes into the calm waters of Lake Mead and sinks, remaining lost for half a century.

It has been nearly a year since five friends - Jag, Kody, Mariah, Tegan and Aari - mysteriously reappeared in a small town in Yukon several weeks after their small plane went down in Northern Canada. All were found unharmed but with no recollection of what happened to them after the accident.

A baffling contagion is spreading across the bread-basket of North America destroying vital crops. As this dark shadow marches across the globe, widespread famine and riots bring desperate nations to the brink of war.

These seemingly unrelated events set the stage for a battle between the forces of darkness and those destined to become the "bearers of light". From ravaged fields in the Great Plains to clandestine installations around the world, the Aegis League must race against time to save humanity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome story!! Fast pace adventure and action, yet it's full of character interaction and emotion

Book 2 in Aegis League series. The book was great! Nice job as a follow up to book 1 and even better job at wrapping the book up but leaving us thirsting for more--> book 3. This is the hardest thing about series reading: you must wait months between books.
This book has been worth the wait. Fantasy/paranormal story, magic, and good vs evil, they all combine to make a very successful story. The fabulous five friends are in high school together and have been inseparable since childhood . Last summer their airplane crashed on a small island. They were missing for weeks and when they finally returned they had no memories of that time, amnesiacs. Now, it's the following summer and the kids need a break from the ridicule of other kids (which is so sad to see what a hard time they've all had thru the school year; kids can be so cruel) and they need some fun time together to reaffirm their friendships and just to spend some time together. Well, it doesn't take long for things to get really weird, crazy and very fast pace. From that one moment, in front of the diner, it's practically non-stop action with their lives in constant danger. It's so awesome! I literally couldn't put it down! This book is a great book for YA because there isn't any profanity, sex or blood and guts, yet it's written so well that it is loved by older adults, as well. I especially love the humor, witt and love between the five plus their newest friends. I am,also dying to know who the mysterious, cloaked and oh-so evil character is with the blue sphere. He is definitely up-to-no-good in respects to the kids, the elders and the world. My only issue-- the third book is not written or released yet! Lol Book is well edited, and for ages 13+.

4.0 out of 5 stars Book Review: AEGIS INCURSION (S.S. Segran)
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2015

Everybody keeps secrets. Some keep secrets by choice: things they don't want to discuss or even think about, let alone pass along. Some keep secrets accidentally, because they can't recollect what happened before.

And some are made to keep secrets, whether they know it or not. What happens when the secret knowledge that you carry makes you both the cure to an evil of international proportions, and the target of those propagating that evil?

Enter AEGIS INCURSION, the second book in the Aegis League series of action-adventure, apocalyptic science fiction novels by author S.S. Segran.

Yes, you read that genre correctly.

And yet, despite the apparent disparity of those sub-genres fitting together, Segran handles the crossovers seamlessly and with aplomb. I never got lost in the shuffle, never felt too jumbled to bother turning the page, never wondered what on earth I was actually reading.

That kind of precision is the mark of an expert author.

In the best tradition of action-adventure novels written for young adults, as are these, the protagonist isn't a single person: it's actually five (or more, depending on your point of view) young people, friends who have banded together and been bonded to one another through experiences you've only ever imagined sharing with your high school bests. Each of those characters is easy to like, sympathetic, and fascinating, with his or her respective abilities and personality, making for a compelling read from start to finish.

And you'll never be bored, on the off chance that the characters don't appeal to you (they will --- I promise). That's because the plot rivals those of most well-written contemporary thrillers and suspense novels I've had the pleasure of reading. There's always something happening. It's usually bad.

Nothing better to keep me entertained through the story.

And though the novels are written for young adults, don't hesitate to pick them up if you're "over age." I was riveted, captivated all the way through, and it's been a long time since anyone could categorize me as a "young adult."

I can't offer higher praise than that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Super Series!

Although not a YA, I seem to be drawn to this type of book. I have read both AEGIS RISING and AEGIS INCURSION and will be reviewing both together. I love these books. It is a true YA series with no foul language or sex. Each book has it's share of violence, but not more than seen on any given TV channel. The main characters are likeable. The villains are not! I found the different 'situations' the heroes encountered and the solutions or end results of these situations to be rather far fetched and convenient. Again, not unlike TV so I am not finding any fault there. You know from the beginning that the heroes will win, but there is enough action (and some surprises) to keep the reader's interest. Although these books are a part of a series, they can be read as a 'stand alone'. The second book catches you up on who the characters are and the basics of what has happened so far. This is done well, without putting the reader who has read the first book through long drawn out explanations of what they have already read. The books seem to be well researched. I am not well versed in today's technologies, so everything seemed to make sense to me. Also, I give credit to the editor for the lack of spelling errors. I am not particularly aware of any grammatical errors either, but that may just be that those sort of things, unless glaringly evident, do not bother me. Kudos to Ms. Segran for writing two entertaining and in depth books such as these at such a young age. I would not expect such writing from someone so inexperienced. I am definitely looking forward to the next book and suggest this series (or single book) to everyone.

Reviewed in Canada on April 5, 2015

This captivating and suspenseful novel by an amazing and talented young writer grabs the reader right from the start. This novel is classified as Young Adult, but it also appeals to any reader who enjoys an exciting, suspenseful plot with confident young people who care about each other, their families and their world so much that they are willing to take great risks to save the world. Segran's allusions and references to current and popular cultural icons (shock jock, Hugh Jackman, Harry Potter) help to make the situations plausible and authentic. The five young protagonists are realistic and believable. Their timeless quest to make the world a better place reinforces the age-old theme that goodness prevails over evil, that light prevails over darkness. The teens' mentor and sentry says, "We are driven by the knowledge that darkness is but the absence of light." And Tegan (perhaps the most insightful of the five friends) believes that, "It's about doing the right thing, making the right choices, especially when it's the most difficult." Tegan also characterizes the millennial generation when she understands their powerful synergy by musing, "We're strong on our own and we're stronger united. If we have each other, we'll take on whatever we have to."

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable book, in my opinion better than the first one
Reviewed in France on April 17, 2015

First of all I must say that I'm not a YA anymore, I probably would have liked the story better if I were younger.

That being said, I still enjoyed the story, and was very impressed by the author, who is very young but still appears to have a real talent. The story is engrossing, the vocabulary is rich, and she obviously did her research into several facts (I won't reveal anything to avoid any spoiler). The characters are interesting and I liked the way what they learned in the first volume is used in this one. I especially enjoyed how they are able to really act as a team, each special ability complementing the other.

Sometimes the second book in a series is a disappointment, it is definitely not the case here. If anything, I found it better than the first one, especially since it really built on the world that was presented before. If you liked Aegis Rising I guess you'll like this one too, so just go for it!

The Aegis Incursion
Good:
The book had a strong plot. The story starts of fairly simple but as the story progresses it becomes more complex. Splitting the plot and characters into two portions at the end allowed a much more effective culmination of tension towards the end of the book. The way the story is going suggests more plot lines will be added in the next book which is a plus. It would be interesting to see where the author takes and ends the story because it definitely has potential.
It is very rare to see female characters within a mixed group develop so strongly in a book. It was awesome! Contrary to the norm, it became evident over the course of the book that Mariah and Teagan are some of the most positively destructive forces in this book. They wreak absolute havoc and are key to the group’s operations. Kudos to the author for deviating on that point. Not as much character development occurred in the five during this book compared to the first. The story seemed to complete the character growth that had begun in the first book. Some brief introductions are given to surrounding characters in the the five’s lives. These might be good avenues to expand on and explore the story in later books.
A good range of settings were used in the story. It would be interesting to see what settings the author incorporates into their next book. This is particularly interesting as the book moves more to a global scale.

Bad:
The book initially starts off very slowly. A lot of it is rehashing of what happened in the first book. It’s a decent catch up for someone who’s missed the first book, if the first book has already been read though it’s a little tiresome. Perhaps the rehashing can be done in a brief section prior to the start of the story?
The book takes time to step up the pace. It starts off very slowly. By the end there’s a roaring train of events however, it’s quite a while before the story gets moving. The story doesn’t necessarily have to be all action. Nevertheless instead of slowly building the pace perhaps something the author could toy with is increasing the pace significantly and then letting things die down a little, and then repeat. This can be difficult. It’s even more challenging if it contradicts a core structure the author has for the story. However, it may be very successful.
A point of conflict for me personally is how well the plot and characters turns out in the book. The story is filled with courage and strength in the face of danger. However apart from the death of one character it was hard to pinpoint much pain or deep loss occurring to the five in the plot. While the characters in the story go through difficult situations, most of the trauma ultimately felt reversible. Sorrow, grief and pain could be used more effectively in the story. They add a depth of experience that I think a lot of readers can relate to which deepens the story. Furthermore low points are good points to develop a character in. Battle scars can be huge turning points in making a better or worse character. On the flip-side though, stories allow us to explore pain AND joy. The characters in the book are mind bogglingly kind and sincere and caring, sharing bonds which seem uncommon in life. One can look at this and begrudge it. However, stories like this one are awesome at reminding the reader there is a difference between what is and what should be (thank you to Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones for that quote). Those characters remind the reader in small ways that the world and the people in it can be a better place.

Overall:
The Aegis Incursion is a great book although it still has a little room for improvement. The beginning is a little slow but the story picks up really well by the end of the book. A lot of character development that started in the first book was completed in this book. All in all it sets a really good stage for a strong sequel.

I don’t mean this in a harsh way but I’m a little disappointed by the comments of the first reviewer in Australia. I read the review before reading the book and was genuinely concerned that the quality of the book had dropped. However after reading the book I would have to politely disagree with the reviewer. There’s a lot of criticism of the first part of the book but more or less little if anything about the second half of the book. I initially would give this book a rating of 4-4.5. It’s good but it’s got its pitfalls. However to counterbalance what I think may not necessarily be a fair rating I’m giving the book 5 stars. Good job S.S. Segran and I wish you the best in your writing journey. I look forward to reading more of your work as it grows. Cheers!
