Publisher's summary

There he was in his sailboat in the middle of the Atlantic, all alone and loving it.

Well, there was a US Navy carrier group on his southern horizon, but he was a Navy guy himself, so he didn't mind.

Then came the UFOs, hurtling in from the Outer Black to overfly the carriers at Mach 17. Their impossible aerobatics were bad enough—but then they started shooting at each other, and at the Navy, with nukes. Little ones at first, but winding up with a 500 megatonner at 90 miles that fried every piece of electronics within line-of-sight.

Richard Ashton thought he was just a ringside observer of these now over-the-horizon events. Until the crippled alien lifeboat came drifting down and homed in on his sailboat. Suddenly he has his hands full of an unconscious, critically wounded, and impossibly human alien warrior who also happens to be a gorgeous female.

That's when things got interesting.

David Weber understands

David Weber is awesome I thoroughly enjoy everything he has written. I first read this story years ago and now enjoy it on audio. His stories are amazing and have characters with so much depth.

Another fun Weber tale.

Good story telling and great characters. A stand alone amid so many series is an unusual find.

Dramatic action sequences and a plot that could have gone on for a trilogy.

I am confused by the ending. Looking it up online. Might look into other David Weber books

Good old science fiction

Glad I didn’t have to read a dozen dozen books to get to the end of the story. Well done!

Good read (as expected)

Good story, started slow but once they reached earth it improved rapidly. Weber rarely disappoints.

I always enjoyed this book.

Smooth storytelling. Good pacing. One of DW’s earlier works without all of the sci fi mumbo jumbo. Just enough to enjoy.
