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!
TAKE THE BATTLE TO THE STARS

SF."--Publishers Weekly
