Story4.5 out of 5 stars 110
The galaxy’s predominant species discovers a lost colony of their ancestors - humans - populating today’s Earth. Then, our genetic link draws the attention and enmity of their galactic rivals. When a plan to elevate present-day Earth leads to an alien invasion, a team of military officers may be all that stands between humanity and certain annihilation. Independence Day meets The X-Files when Air Force fighter pilots Jake Giard and Sandra Fitzpatrick join a decades-old secret project to integrate today's Earth into a galactic government.

I spent many a time sitting in the car after arriving at my destination, as I just had to hear a little more.
This is now one of my favourite first contact / invasion stories. What a fun action packed ride. I can't wait to get into the next book.

The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the Native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon came ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There went the good old days, when humans got killed only by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

For me the story really picked up in the second half. i loved the interactions with Skippy. While he can be a bit annoying at times, i am still smiling just thinking backc at some of his 'complementary' insults.

I could so relate to this.

I may have rated it a bit high, but this was a geek fest that reflected so much of my life. I have been in computers and I.T. since the 70's. This was like a trip down memory lane. Recalling so many things that were part of my early experiences. Every book, song, movie, or computer they mentioned, made me smile, as I either owned or played with them at some point (except the Tandy :-) ).
So many times this sparked flash backs to things I had experienced back then and forgotten.
This really made me smile.
