The Earth is doomed. Humanity has a chance. In the near future, an alien probe arrives on Earth with a pivotal mission—determine if humanity has what it takes to survive the impending invasion by a merciless armada. The probe discovers Marc Ibarra, a young inventor, who holds the key to a daring gambit that could save a fraction of Earth's population. Humanity's only chance lies with Ibarra's ability to keep a terrible secret and engineer the planet down the narrow path to survival. Earth will need a fleet. One with a hidden purpose. One strong enough to fight a battle against annihilation. The Ember War is the first installment in an epic military sci-fi series. If you like A Hymn Before Battle by John Ringo and The Last Starship by Vaughn Heppner, then you'll love this explosive adventure with constant thrills and high stakes from cover to cover. ++++ Q&A with Richard Fox: How would you describe The Ember War? In as few words as possible: Battlestar Galactica meets Mass Effect. In more words: It is a story of first contact with galactic empires, some with our best interests at heart, others that see us as an infestation to be wiped out. Your previous books were historical fiction and spy thrillers, why write a military science fiction novel? I’ve been a science fiction fan since I was a kid, stories about space marines, power armor and battles between giant space fleets have are always at the top of my reading list. Setting a space opera around the star carrier Breitenfeld was exciting for me, and I’m sure that excitement will carry over to the readers. Are you going to hit us with a cliff hanger ending? As a reader, I’m not a big fan of cliff hanger endings so I won't do that to you. The ending for The Ember War is definitely a preview of coming attractions. Where’d you get the idea for The Ember War? The stars are silent. We’ve had our ear to the sky for decades but we haven’t had a confirmed peep from any alien civilizations. There are three reasonable explanations: no one else is out there, we don’t have the right tools to listen, or something is silencing extraterrestrial civilizations as they start broadcasting. If the third explanation is the right one, how could humanity save itself from that threat, and what if other aliens could help us? What makes this unique? I have a strong military background and that carries into my writing. I spent ten years on active duty in the US Army, and served two combat deployments to Iraq. I try and bring all the fear, doubt and pulse pounding adrenaline from war into my novels, and I hope it shines through for the readers. If this was a movie, what would it be rated? PG-13 for some language and intense action.

An alien AI decides to help humanity survive an approaching genocidal alien fleet. The probe makes contact with a very bright young man and together they need to elevate the humans technology to a high enough level than there is a chance of survival. The scene is now set for a very interesting story of how the AI/young genius are able to guide humanity through a rapid evolution of technology, politics, culture, etc.Unfortunately, Mr. Fox doesn't devote a single word to this story line. Instead, immediately after the AI and the young genius get together, the story jumps ahead 60 years to just hours before the alien invasion arrives. The book (and the 2nd book in the series) is just one battle after another. Our heroes fight drones and reptilian aliens (book 2).The books are fast paced and move quickly from one battle to the next. The description of the battles is conpetently done. Unfortunately, there is nothing new here. Everything has been done over and over ad nauseam.If you are new to the genre, you will probably enjoy the book. However, if you read a lot of military SF, there is nothing new here.

The level of detail for some situations was overdone - e.g. you don't need a paragraph to describe the size of a dining room, and why bother at all when it contributes nothing to the story? Another criticism I have is to ease up on the hyperbole - this author used it to the point of cliche.

Some college kid gets woken up by his cell phone and keeps turning it off so he can get back to sleep. He knows he’s supposed to get up and go to classes, but after the night he had, no way. Still, his cell phone keeps ringing. He actually powers it completely down and the thing comes back on and is still yelling at him! By now, I would be really worried about whether I was still asleep or not. He finally answers his phone and then he’s off to rendezvous with something in the desert.Turns out, his rendezvous was a serious necessity if he was to save all of humanity! Wow! That’s kind of an important meeting, don’t you think. Anyway, you start off with this kid living approximately around our time and then the next chapter has you flying through space as a Atlantic Union Marine. They're combat dropping on to an asteroid that is supposed to be a mining operation. For some reason, the mining operation has not be answering radio calls so the Marines are going to find out why. From here on in the action is pretty fast and continuous. I just love this kind of science fiction story. There’s a lot of shooting and being shot, deranged robot mining machines and then alien droids coming from every where.The whole premise of the story is that the kid, remember him, has been planning for the last 60 years to save humanity from an alien attack. At the time he had his meeting in the desert, Earth and all of humanity was just about as doomed as you can be. Yet, he had just wrote a scientific paper which alerted the envoy from deep space that there might be something worth saving in the Solar System. The only problem is that Earth has only 60 years to get ready.Again, I really like the book because of all the fast action and it was a military science fiction book. What I found lacking was any in-depth background on the main characters. Even the kid, a.k.a., Marc Ibarra, wasn’t really covered in detail as to his background or anything. The same can be said for his Granddaughter, Stacy. How did she come to being and what apparently caused her to end up being the only Grandchild of Marc Ibarra. The story alludes to his Granddaughter as being very special but nothing happens that really shows her to be special, so far. Maybe that’s coming the in next books.The nice thing about reading this book is that the next two books in the series are already published. “The Ruins of Anthalas” and “Blood of Heroes” are on Amazon and in my library. I have some more reading to do.
