• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

An unknown alien object (UNOB) is approaching Earth. Coming in dark and silent the object is code named "Silent Star" and the decision is made to intercept the object before it reaches Earth. Captain Linkletter and his team are sent on an intercept course with orders to dock, enter, and assess the threat of the UNOB, and if necessary, destroy it. Linkletter succeeds in entering the UNOB to find it empty but then it comes to life. Essentially a subspace stepping stone, the UNOB is the last step for an invasion force coming to conquer Earth. Surprising the first invaders to reach the UNOB, Linkletter and his squad use the UNOB transporter to hop back up the chain, fighting their way to the UNOB launchers. Quickly they realize that the invaders are an allied force of different alien species. Retreating through the UNOB stepping stones back toward Earth, the last battle is fought in Earth orbit where victory depends on turning alien species against each other.

Autorenporträt

James F David is the pen name I began writing under when I first started dabbling. I began writing short stories, collected a pile of rejection slips, then discovered the Small Press market and began to publish short science fiction stories. One day I was sharing a story idea with a friend and he said "That is the first novel length idea you've had." I took that to heart and three years later finished my first novel. I found an agent, who sold it to TOR and that began my novel writing. Keeping my day job as a Professor of Psychology, and then as a Dean, I kept up my hobby. Life happened during this time, with its usual ups and downs, and I have reached the retirement phase of life which has given me more time to write, and so the hobby continues. I have always written books like those I like to read; fast paced, fun characters, and a good time by a fire on a rainy afternoon or on a sunny beach on a warm day. From time traveling dinosaurs, quirky mysteries, and alien contact, my books have been praised by reviewers from the Washington Post, Publisher's Weekly, and Book List, and local reviewers. Thanks to those of you who have enjoyed my stories and taken this journey with me.
