Product Description

Review
""Face of the Enemy "is space opera for thinking readers. Fawkes creates a universe where governments conspire, scientists discover, and soldiers struggle, not just with the enemy, but with the moral dilemmas of duty andhonor. This book makes an excellent addition to the ranks of military SF. Even better, it's good science fiction."-- Bill McKay

Synopsis
The brave fighting men and women of the Interstellar Defense League eagerly take up arms against the Remor and their grinders, but to win they must get inside the machines and the mind of their foe. Original.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than just a shoot-em-up!, 28 Jul 1999
By A Customer
The foreground story is more complicated and interesting than most military sci-fi. The people have believable, individual motivations, and the issues aren't black and white. There seems to be a LOT going on in the background, and not just the peculiar war against the mysterious aliens. I wish Fawkes had done more than just sketch in some of the governments, personalities, other interests that complicate things with their private agendas. Maybe this was deliberate, to whet our appetites for the rest of the trilogy (series)? If so, it worked for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars This was a great SF book!, 18 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This was a sci-fi book for the mind it was'nt so much action it was more, about getting into the minds of the charactors which is a welcome change to the old shoot-em up sci-fi books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good new entry in Military SF field, 11 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Good, in that it combines a relatively small amount of sterotypical military action (competently, if not thrillingly handled) with a real SF mystery. Clearly has some bugs, e.g., what drives the xeno-sociologist character to "go native"? what happens to a couple of secondary characters at book's end? characterization can be a little flat (e.g. Stone); and just who is the wacky, mysterious billionaire/guru figure with the bad cryptic lines, other than an awkward device for moving the plot along? Despite some first novel quirks, I'll certainly buy the requisite sequel, if only because Fawkes has tried hard to add a little alieness and to a frequently stale SF sub-genre.
