When war comes after a century of peace, it is sudden and brutal. Taken by surprise Earth's far-flung colonies are in danger.

The only son of an admiral, Second Lieutenant Michael Sheridan finds himself thrust into a desperate conflict that he and the untried soldiers under his command are not ready for. Focusing on the people struggling to survive the onslaught, First Strike is a novel that propels the reader to the furthest limits of space. Fighting a ruthless and determined enemy, Sheridan soon learns the brutal lessons of war and that his enemy may not be what it appears to be.

Read the first free book and it takes my mind off the pandemic. The story is good that people must be willing to learn and accept each other while still have to deal with ongoing situations. I've stopped gaming to read. Think I'll get the next book and do more reading.

The story is well written and a good plot. If I had to try and find something negative it would be, with a story that far in the future with FTL technology, one would not expect such conventional warfare. So a little more imagination may have come in handy but would have been much more difficult to write and more complex. I enjoyed the story and look forward to reading the rest of the books. I would definitely recommend this book.

Albeit being an ex-military persona and an avid science fiction reader, I am and would be predisposed to give most books like this a favourable review. That said, I honestly must say, it was a well-written, book, that had me captivated from start to finish.
