Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We've Seen the Enemy is exactly what I want in science fiction: a multi-layered, good old-fashioned space opera replete with action, adventure, believable plot lines, frightening adversaries and multi-dimensional characters at whose apex is a strong female protagonist - "Jack", fearless, determined, a born leader and a closet romantic.
Apocalyptic events thrust mankind into the stars, with strange and varied consequences. What happens when society falls apart amidst the chaos of alien attack (or was it?), and how does society restructure itself, what are the new tenets, what happens when questions get raised amongst a portion of the now-small populace? There are good aliens and bad aliens, and telling the difference is not clear-cut by any means.
There's enough technology to get even the most jaded fanboy [or girl] arguing, debating and offering suggestions, yet it never buries or sidetracks the plot.
It begins with the fable, the cautionary tale, as a lesson, essays required, why, how, with what consequences, priming us for events to unfold. We flip back and forth through and around events, through time, with additional links built into each new chapter. One feels a unified whole with multiple avenues of discovery. And multiple avenues of deceit. Will time win out? Will mankind survive?
Heady questions, thought-provoking, a downright good read.

Product Description:
An alien ship crashes on Earth; its contents make it clear that the dead ant-like aliens inside were on an offensive mission. As humanity is presented with the prospect of their doomed world, construction begins on hundreds of World Federation ships and extrasolar defense weapons to be used in the inevitable war.
WE'VE SEEN THE ENEMY is set 700 years after the Great War and is a desperate race by a suicide team that may finally lead to the end of this interstellar war. Meanwhile, pockets of left-over human tribes on Earth have their own struggles, as they face power-hungry dictators and warped religious leaders. Behind all this are multiple alien forces, each with their own agenda.
As truths turn into lies and friends become enemies, can humanity unite together to fight their common enemy?
This is the first book in "THE ENEMY" series, the conclusion of which will be released in late April 2010.
