Overview

NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENTHumanity has finally made it to the stars. Colony worlds thrive and there is general peace among the settled systems. Until now. Matte black ships of an advanced design appear in colonial systems. Their drives and weapons are not extremely advanced beyond their Terran counterparts -- just superior enough to be utterly devastating. Colonies and their populations are obliterated. Once settled worlds are rendered radioactive wastelands. Earth herself lies defenseless before the marauding enemy.DEFEND THE SKIES OF EARTHStanding against the invasion are British Space Navy Captain Winslow Price and Anika Ahuja of the Indian Space Forces. Compatriots. Fierce competitors. Former lovers. They are the best of the best when it comes to military starship captains.  Now they are on a quest that will plumb the scientific wells of existence itself, where the primordial knot of spacetime may be unraveling.  Price and Ajuja are sworn to do whatever it takes to defend Earth and humanity from ultimate obliteration by an enemy that will not even speak its name. Even if it pushes each to the brink of life and death in battle. Even if it leads each beyond space and time--and to edge of ultimate possibility!TAKE THE BATTLE TO THE STARSAbout Mission to Methone:"The spirit of Arthur C. Clarke and his contemporaries is alive and well in Johnson's old-fashioned first-contact novel, set in 2068. . . . includes plenty of realistic detail and puts fun new spins on familiar alien concepts. . . . There's a great deal here for fans of early hard SF."--Publishers Weekly"With equal parts science fiction and international intrigue . . . an exciting, fast-paced read that you will not want to put down."--BooklistAbout Rescue Mode by Ben Bova and Les Johnson:". . . a suspenseful and compelling narrative of the first human spaceflight to Mars."--Booklist
