Jack Starling is a 25 year old ex-SEAL who is having trouble finding a job, needs therapy and plenty of meds to deal with his headaches. He also hasn’t had any luck with women. At his therapist request, he hasn’t had any contact with the members of his SEAL team; but, when one of his team goes missing, Jack re-assembles everyone for a dangerous mission. Jack’s friend, Moon, has been abducted and taken to a secret base in New Mexico. Some strange things are going on in this base and Jack doesn’t find out exactly what until he meets an even stranger woman. Cassandra is like no one Jack has ever met before, and for a good reason, she is not from this planet. Cassandra has insight into the base and the aliens that run it, but what do all the aliens want with Earth?
A quick science fiction read with lots of action, government conspiracy and aliens. Jack was an awesome character with a ton of great skills and an awesome personality, but is also very realistic to the experience an ex-SEAL might experience. Cassandra is also engrossing; she is very close to a human and a strong, female warrior of her species. I was really intrigued by the different alien races, what they are doing on Earth and any possible threat that they might be to humans. There is a lot to think about with what Jack finds out about the aliens and their purpose. There is a lot of science, technology and politics involved with this, but it is well explained and there is some really cool technology in here. I do wish the prologue tied into the book a little more, and the end did seem a little rushed with a lot going on, but overall this is a good sci-fi read and great for lovers of Star Trek.
