The war with the Preeminent is over. Or, is it? David Powell could tell something strange was happening around Zeta Doradus. There were too many Preeminent SLIP messages that just didn't make sense, and he knew that could mean trouble not just for the Fleet, but the new Preeminent Leaders at Alpha Mensae, too. When the time came for FleetIntel to go see what was happening for themselves, there was only one choice of whom to send.Carol Hansen has her own problems to manage, starting with a tough, critical new boss and her own self-criticism, pushed by the nightmares of what she did during the war with the Preeminent, and what she might have done better. With David gone, she struggles against the memories that haunt her, the decisions she now questions, and the lives her orders cost.So here's another installment in the ISC Fleet universe, where character comes before technology, and relationships before strategy. But, there's still plenty of complexity in both domains to keep you turning pages.One reviewer said about Whitehouse's previous works "the characters not only came 'alive', but they were also dynamic, well-developed personalities." Another said, "The storyline is absorbing and stimulating."Beta readers of Revolt at Zeta Doradus said "I found the writing exact and exciting." And, "this was an excellent follow up to the [Preeminent War] trilogy. The several plot lines were very engaging."If you're interested in a good story with complex, well-developed characters, you could do a lot worse than Revolt at Zeta Doradus.
It's been just six months since the unprovoked, brutal attack on Inoria that killed tens of thousands. The enemy has paid a price in the deep-space skirmishes since, but seems in no mind to retire. But, what, in fact, is the enemy mind? What, in the end, do they want?Carol Hansen and her Antares shipmates are going back to solve the mystery they found at Beta Hydri, taking a retinue of academics with them.David Powell survived Sigma's battle, dragging that battered ship to safety. Now promoted and on Columbia with his old friend Dan Smith in command, a new role, indeed, a new life, begins for him.Joanne Henderson's Intrepid continues its silent mission among the nearby stars, while Natalie Hayden and Ben Price begin to find connections beyond what happens inside a Sentinel.But back at Fleet HQ, there is growing frustration about how to run a war when a light-year-per-day just doesn't seem nearly fast enough.
'Silver Enigma' is the first volume of a three-book 'Preeminent War' series from new author Rock Whitehouse. Set about fifty years in the future, 'Silver Enigma' brings us into a world surprisingly different from what we see around us today. Randy Forstmann's faster-than-light 'Drive' has redefined space exploration and widespread space mining is now both practical and profitable. Our exploration of the near stars has brought us to meet the Inori, a peaceful, friendly, industrious alien species.When an unknown alien culture attacks the Inori home world, also destroying the Terran warship Liberty, our new Fleet finds itself thrust into the conflict. This same culture could just as easily come to Earth and the Fleet simply cannot risk letting that happen.The story centers around young Ensign Carol Hansen, and her classmate and friend David Powell. They find their way in the chaos of conflict even as they find their way to a new relationship together. Along with Carol and David, we see the struggles of the Fleet Intelligence staff to understand what to do, and when, and how. Their smart and innovative thinking may tip the stakes in our favor, but if they're wrong, it might not help.The Drive is fast, but in space the distances are enormous. Their 'SLIP' faster-than-light communications are even faster than the Drive, but even light-year-per-day ships and ninety-minutes-per-light-year communications may not be fast enough. The Inori home world is sixteen light years away. The Fleet Commander struggles to decide what to do when he doesn't know for a full day he's lost a ship, and when he does, it might be more than two weeks to respond. It's a hard place, this deep space, and even with revolutionary technologies, our innovation and imagination just might come up short.Carol was lucky to be on the Inori home world that day. She and the other survivors have passed the first test. They lived.David, his career derailed by a family tragedy before he could graduate, is working his way back to where he really wants to be: in the Fleet, and with Carol.Now, they must both get down to doing their part in the lethal business of finding, and killing, an enemy they know nothing about.
