Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 03 20, 2013
The author has skillfully crafted a sci-fi adventure series that takes the reader through the early encounters and the painful yet inspiring victories of mankind over a massive alien force that has come to the Earth to extract its resources and eliminate all resistance. Yet they continue to come and each time they are stronger in both numbers and in their desire to crush the inhabitants of our blue planet. The battle can no longer be fought from Earth using defensive measures but must be brought to the aliens with all the elements of surprise and human ingenuity that can be assembled. Assault is the transition from defending the Earth to the seeking out and as necessary bartering peace or destroying the opposition. Along the way we witness the continued creativeness of man in his ability to overcome larger and more technically savvy opponents, to devise methods of transportation that are beyond our current ability but within the realm of belief. We feel the personal angst and struggles with the great loss of life that the main characters endure and we also begin to appreciate the friendships that develop between species. A sci-fi adventure that is intertwined with thought provoking challenges and personal emotions that parallel real life. Enjoy the journey as you travel with the HE into the unknown.
