Book 2 in the Space Fleet Sagas follows Capt. Daniel Cooper and the SFPT-109, John F. Kennedy.
Alien invaders are not the only menace confronting Earth. Political intrigue, greed, and long-held dogmas threaten unification. Who is a friend, and who is the enemy?
Space Fleet moves to confront the Zenge species, while attempting to establish new allies among the other worlds also threatened by the marauders. Will the blend of humans and aliens as crew help or hinder both missions?
Mysteries deepen, and solving them becomes crucial to the survival of a United Earth and the success of Space Fleet. The action heats up, and the adventure continues.
If you like your science fiction fast paced and you enjoy Orwellian sub-plots that keep you guessing, then Confrontation will keep you entertained.
I was not only NOT disappointed, this second book was even better than book one.
The future is one, while not defined, is similar to our current world, and this makes it so much easier to connect with the events. Foxe adds political intrigue to the action and adventure that made his first book so good. Oh - intrigue on Earth and in the galaxy of other worlds. Conspiracies, and new, interesting characters.
Every time I thought I had a handle on the storyline, I found a new twist. But each new twist made me want to continue reading. Foxe totally surprised me more than a few times.
This is the kind of science fiction anyone would enjoy. Great characters, interesting plots and subplots, and enough action, romance, and science without overdoing any one element.
The first book in the series caught my interest. Confrontation has me hooked. I hope this space opera continues for a long time.
While this was book 2 in the space fleet sagas, I actually read it first. Amazing! I was intrigued and then fully engaged by the story, the twists, the characters. I didn't miss a beat by reading Confrontation first. I immediately got Book 1, Contact and Conflict, and loved it. Can't wait until the next installment.
Okay, so it is set in the future, but I would put this book in the mystery-suspense category before calling it sci-fi. The science fiction is really well presented, but never overshadows the story. The interactions between humans and aliens seemed real. A lot of characters, but easy to keep everybody separated. I hope Foxe writes about more of the secondary characters in future books.
