Summary

The Prince of Darkness is coming.

Comet Anduru skimmed the clouds of Saturn. Rather than being drawn into the gas giant, it skipped back out into space. With the comet heading for Jupiter, speculation is mounting it’s an alien spacecraft making its way to Earth. 

Lieutenant Colonel Nolan Landis and Dr. Kath McKenzie are caught between an angry public and an anxious President as they grapple with the scientific, social, and political implications of first contact.

First Contact is a series of standalone novels that explore humanity's first interactions with extraterrestrial life.

Excellent hard SF First Contact story.

Cawdron digs deep into the idea of First Contact and how humans might really react to it. The premise is a bit out there but explained well and the technical scaffolding really gels as the story progresses.

This is the second of his First Contact series that I’ve read and they all explore aspects of First Contact generally ignored or covered badly by other authors.

Definitely worth spending the time on if hard SF is your thing.

As with the others I’ve read this is very US centric but given the core premise in this case that’s a minor quibble.

I’d have one or two technical quibbles ( they ship Orion somewhere to protect it from environmental damage but don’t do anything about SLS, seems careless to me; getting Orion to L4 or L5 is a stretch but might be doable however getting it back after staying there seems unlikely) but these in no way detract from the story for me. This is fiction after all , and damn fine fiction at that.

Pick a Peter Cawdron book, any book and settle in to a quality ride

Yet another truly wonderful first contact story from Peter Cawdron. Lots of political shenanigans interspersed with some fantastic characters and their pov’s. The last section of the book was very tense and wonderfully played out. I also enjoyed the author’s afterword explaining the science and real world effects of conspiracy theories.
