Synopsis

A sinister new alien foe has emerged.

When Ben Saito goes searching for his father and the fate of the powerful starship sent on a mission to secure peace with Earth's colonies, he finds more questions than answers.

It's clear that at least some of the starship and her crew survived, but where have they gone?

Colony forces soon arrive, asking their own questions, and they don't care for Earthers snooping around. At first, they suspects an Earth trap. But they soon find evidence to implicate something new and disturbing that could alter the future of all the colony worlds.

Meanwhile, the survivors are desperately clinging to life as a powerful alien force begins to assimilate them with the help of their human enablers. They must survive, or the truth of what happened will die with them.

Their ability to change shapes of themselves and their star ships is a bit problematic for me. Then there was the point in the second book where the aliens blew u......more

Goodreads review by Eric on January 09, 2021

Another good read in the series... I felt like this book had a more natural ending than book one. It picked up right where book one left off and had good action, suspense, and drama. I didn’t know where the epilogue was going when it began, and I was a little confused during parts of it, but by the e......more

Goodreads review by Julie on December 14, 2020

Good book First Contact wasn't as engaging as Lost was. We get a little bit more about what the Shapeless want and figure out how to fight them. I am hoping book 3 tells more and is more engaging.......more
