Survivors #2: A Hidden Enemy

Erin Hunter has done it again! Made an extraordinary book and an all new series! This time, when the river is poisoned, Bella's pack moves to a lake to try to get water from the clean lake, and just a bit of territory. Lucky finds the pack in a skirmish that wounds Martha, and sadly, kills little Alfie. Later, a flood reveals a place where the ragged pack can shelter. Lucky agrees to spy on the Wild Pack for a few days, so Bella can find a way to get some territory by the lake. So, Lucky joins the pack, and is confused by their ways, but soon, finds himself enjoying the way of the Wild Pack, and the Great Howl, a nightly ritual when the entire pack howls to their ancestors. Sweet is the packs Beta, or deputy. She is loyal to the Alpha, but its obvious she is in love with Lucky. Then, the Omega of the pack (otherwise known as Wine) discovers Lucky is a spy, and blackmails him into getting him out of being an Omega. An innocent dog is beaten, and ranked as an Omega. Mulch (the new Omega) has no idea what has happened. Lucky knows time in the lack is running out, and soon, the weak Whine, will be back at Omega soon. Then, Bella attacks. At first, Lucky is torn between Bella's comfortable no rule pack, or the Wild Pack and Sweet. Then, foxes fill the clearing, making it clear they fight with Bella. The Packs collide in battle, but the foxes just start eating. Lucky and Bella kill the foxes, but the innocent dog who was made Omega, Mulch, dies. Bella is to be put to death by the Alpha, when he realizes she saved the pups of the pack. He offers the Leashed pack a place at the bottom of the pack, where Lucky started, and says Bella, must be the new Omega. Then, Whine reveals Lucky was a spy. Alpha steps forward. "Will he kill Lucky?" You wonder. You turn the page and BAM! Book ends. ): well, sorry if this spoils everything and you don't want to buy it now. I read this in 24 hours and was the 1st person to finish it. I loved it and hope you do too.

This is the one of the best Erin Hunter books. I recommend reading the first book ( Survivors Empty City) before this book.SPOILER ALERT: The book starts with Lucky hearing a battle. If you recall from the first book Lucky left the leashes dogs to be on his own. He runs back to help his friends. The dogs are fighting a wild pack. The alpha of the wild pack is a half wolf/dog. The alpha kills Alphie. One of the tremors of the big growl hits and the dogs run away. Lucky finds Sweet trapped in a hole and saves her. He finds out she is the beta(second in command) of the wild pack.Bella makes Lucky spy on the wild pack by joining them. Lucky becomes a patrol dog for the pack. He becomes closer to the pack despite the fact he is a spy. He challenged a dog to a fight to become a hunter(that is a better position than a patrol dog). Lucky wins. The omega(Whine) finds out that Lucky is a spy and threatens him. Lucky is forced to frame a dog of a horrible crime so that dog will become omega. Lucky frames a dog named Mulch of eating before told (it is a worse crime than it sounds). Mulch becomes omega. Bella attacks the wild pack with foxes to help her. She lied to Lucky after he risked his life for her!! As the packs are fighting the foxes try to kill Moon's (a mother dog for the wild pack) pups. Lucky tries to fight them off but gets seriously injured. Mulch and another pup named Fuzz die. The foxes are defeated and both the packs gather around. Whine tells everyone that Lucky is a spy. It ends with these words. "Perhaps it was only time to die."END OF SPOILER ALERT:You should read this book!

Once again Erin Hinter has done it again with Survivors #2. In this book 2 of the series Bella induces Lucky to join Wild dog pack, in order to save his Leashed dog. After convincing Alpha the leader of the Wild pack, Lucky learns the ropes and goes up a few ranks in the pack, while secretly spying for the leashed dogs to try and persuade Alpha to let the leashed dogs have a bit of the territory to survive. Soon Lucky's loyalty gets caught in between two dog packs will Lucky choose the Wild pack that he has grown to love, will he choose the Leashed dog pack that he has loved from the beginning or will he run away from it all and be a lone dog once again. Survivors Book 2: A Hidden Enemy will also have a lot of "Hidden" surprises in store for our loyal readers of Erin Hunter, but be warned this book ends in a cliff hanger just like the first book, but Book #2 of Survivors is worth the read and wait for the next book.

At the end of the previous book, Lucky left the leashed dog pack, and set off to be a free, lone dog again. But, right as he is leaving, he hears the sounds of the leashes dogs arguing over territory against a wild pack. A friend of Lucky's suffers a major wound, and Bella comes up with the plan to make Lucky spy on the other pack. Lucky reluctantly joined the wild dog pack. At first, he was upset about the fact that the Omega was treated so poorly, but then he learned more of the wild packs customs, and he started to feel like a true member of the wild pack. He does, however still secretly inform Bella about what has been happening at the wild camp, and how she can sneak in to steel food and drink the clean water from the lake. Unfortunately, someone catches Lucky spying, and forces him to help them against his will. Now, he doesn't know where he stands, or what will come next...READ THIS BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN BOOK TODAY!!!

This is the 2nd of the Survivor's series I have read and to be honest, I can't wait for the 3rd book to come out in September. This is one of the best animal series stories I have ever read, from the point of the dogs gone wild. Now, it is the leashed dogs against the wild dogs. You will have to read it for yourself to see how that turns out but trust me, you will not be disappointed. Lucky's litter sister Bella once Yap and Squeak when still with their mama dog are at odds with each other in much of this book but it is fascinating how it all comes out in the end. A book to be enjoyed also by the younger set. I would not hesitate to read this book to my young grandchildren either. It is very special.Mikki McBride

My son likes these books. Post apocalyptic world from a dogs point of view. It stresses me out a bit.

Very good

As with some other people, I was a bit unsure of this series after reading the first book. I am so glad I decided to pick this second book up because the direction of the story has changed dramatically, but in a very good way and now I'm hooked. Don't get me wrong, the first book is still really well done and worth a read. I loved the dogs personalities and honestly worried about them wondering what would become of them. I wasn't sure what direction the series was going though, until I picked up this second book. Like others, I was just a bit confused. In the second book A LOT more is introduced but I won't say what. I am now hooked. The only thing I will mention is you will get a list of characters at the beginning like Warriors but it's the story itself that is the real winner. From the city to the wild, things heat up in this book and things change. Enjoy the book :) If you weren't sure about this series read this book before you decide. I am ordering the 3rd book right away. I can't wait.I personally love Warriors, Bravelands and Seekers. Survivors is now a new favourite and I can't wait to open up the next book.

The cover was ripped but my daughter was so excited to read it she didn't want me to send it back.

Lors de l'achat la description disait "in french" mais reçu en anglais

We like all the characters in the book and it keeps the suspense high, because you do not know how these dogs are going to survive
