A BRILLIANT BLEND OF MILITARY SCIENCE FICTION AND ARTHUR C. CLARKE-LEVEL SPECULATIVE WONDER BY A WORKING SPACE SCIENTIST!

NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT

Humanity has finally made it to the stars. Colony worlds thrive and there is general peace among the settled systems. Until now. Matte black ships of an advanced design appear in colonial systems. Their drives and weapons are not extremely advanced beyond their Terran counterparts—just superior enough to be utterly devastating. Colonies and their populations are obliterated. Once settled worlds are rendered radioactive wastelands. Earth herself lies defenseless before the marauding enemy.

DEFEND THE SKIES OF EARTH

Standing against the invasion are two of humanity's finest starship captains, Winslow Price of the British Space Navy and Anika Ahuja of the Indian Space Forces. Compatriots. Fierce competitors. Former lovers. Now they are on a quest that will plumb the scientific wells of existence itself, where the primordial knot of spacetime may be unraveling. Price and Ahuja are sworn to do whatever it takes to defend Earth and humanity from ultimate obliteration by an enemy that will not even speak its name. Even if it pushes each to the brink of life and death in battle. Even if it leads each beyond space and time—and to the edge of ultimate possibility!

      Johnson (Saving Proxima) delivers an ambitious but uneven military science fiction thriller set in the 22nd century, when humanity’s defenders must uncover the secret of the alien attackers who are annihilating Earth’s far-flung colonies. Capt. Winslow Price of the Commonwealth Space Navy’s HMSS Indefatigable and Capt. Anika Ahuja of the Indian Space Navy’s Mumbai put their romantic relationship on hold when duty and the mounting crisis pull them in different directions to defend Earth’s remaining colonies against their impossibly humanlike extraterrestrial aggressors. When the Mumbai vanishes while traveling between worlds, it adds an even stranger wrinkle to the conflict, even as it offers up an unexpected solution. Johnson, a NASA physicist, brings verisimilitude and scientific accuracy to this adventure, and his passion for the details of space travel will undoubtedly please readers looking for old-school hard science fiction. His narrative enjoys a slow-building sense of development as he gradually unravels multiple mysteries, but it suffers from shallow characterization, an abrupt climax, and a denouement that occurs mostly off-page, with some of the premise’s most important questions handwaved for potential sequels. It’s a bumpy ride, but Johnson’s fans will find plenty to enjoy. Agent: Peter Rubie, FinePrint Literary.
