Product Description
Having retired for a quiet life in an isolated part of the country following an unsuccessful and debilitating experiment by the Navy, Tristan Taylor's life is turned upside down by the arrival of Aurelia - an alien warrior whose fighter has crash-landed behind his cottage! With the realisation that he can 'feel' the alien's thoughts, and with the knowledge that he can now interface with the alien's computers, Tristan begins his quest to end the rule of the dominant Dacain people and bring peace and equality to all races.

A Quick, Easy and Enjoyable Page Turner,
By
This review is from: Guardian (Kindle Edition)
This is a fun book with an easy to follow plot and likeable characters, which is then all well set up for the sequel.
For most of the time, the story-world is believable except in a couple of places nearer the end of the book; however, suspension of belief for these minor areas does not detract from the story itself. The main character, Tristan Taylor, meets up with a Dacain called Aurelia; they do not get along at first as the Dacain's enslave all who they come across. However, as they get to know each other on Earth and trying to get back to her planet, they fall in love. When they do finally get on board a Dacain ship there is an issue that then causes Tristan to begin 'his [epic] quest to end the rule of the dominant Dacain people and bring peace and equality to all races'. The book has an easy pace to it, although, for me, I would have preferred rather more 'showing' by way of dialogue, rather than a fair amount of 'telling' (in this case it was OK). This is a book that you can easily read to pass a few hours enjoyably.

Guardian review,
By
This review is from: Guardian (Paperback)
From the first page the action does not let up. I do not normally read Science fiction but this book caught my imagination and I found I had difficulty putting it down. Many books I read I skip through sections that are slow and don't add to the story. I found I did not need to do that with this book. It is fast paced with good characters and story line. I thoroughly recommend it.

Old school SciFi,

This review is from: Guardian (Kindle Edition)
Simple, direct story in the Doc Smith Lensman mould.
A pleasant and easy to read diversion to the heavyweight waffle that is now so common.
