This is the second short story belonging to the Terran Chronicles Universe and follows the intrepid crew of Artemis One. The four men return home, to Pythos, ending a three year mission. They enter orbit in time to witness an apocalyptic battle. Hundreds upon hundreds of small craft swoop at a fleet of massive spacecraft. Flying through the midst of the battle, the crew is helpless to do anything more than watch and wait. With mounting fear, all they can do is hope their own fragile craft is not damaged, or worse. Suddenly, the combatants depart, leaving behind vast amounts of debris. With trepidation, the crew contacts ground control.
I am an 'Aussie' that has lived in Michigan, USA since 2001. The winter months are great for writing :) The summer months are great for motor bike riding. When not writing or riding, my time is spent playing a variety of PC games, usually, RTS or MMO's. :) Am starting to get to old and slow for first person shooters. The younguns have faster reflexes :( I could rave on for a long time, but will restrain myself! See you on a forum or two :)
Another intriguing story! We get to draw some interesting parallels between what is happening to our world in the series and what has happened to other worlds encountered by the Gamin and their enemies. Keeps adding questions for the main series. I rated this book 4 stars to avoid the negative comments received from giving First Contact 5 stars, even though that is what I would like to do. I thoroughly enjoyed the read, and as a non-professional reviewer can only give my personal opinion, I LOVE THIS SERIES!!
