Description

If they’re coming for us, who’s coming for them? A first contact novel from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Relic.   The galaxy is vast, and not everything is what it seems. The invasion we always feared is here.   Which begs the question: what do the invaders fear? If not us, then what . . . or who?   And what happens to the would-be peacemakers when they find themselves in the middle of something else? Something dangerous, something highly advanced, and . . . something familiar?   If humanity is wise, we will prepare for everything we can imagine.   But we cannot prepare for what we cannot imagine.   It might be benign, it might be malign, or it might be a sign.   You just have to know where to look.   Praise for Alan Dean Foster   “Provocative.” —The Washington Post   “One of the most consistently inventive and fertile writers of science fiction and fantasy.” —The Times   “Alan Dean Foster is a master of creating alien worlds.” —SFRevu   “Foster knows how to spin a yarn.” —Starlog   “Foster does a fine job with his misfit heroes and even with his minor characters.” —Publishers Weekly

Description

During his first tour in Vietnam – 1967-68 – Dick Taylor was a well trained and highly motivated amateur assigned to advise a hard-bitten ARVN infantry battalion working in the mud and streams of IV Corps. He became savvy in a hurry and found that he was both brave and resourceful. He barely survived Tet 1968, then served on an advisory team staff.

For the next two years, Taylor earned a Ranger tab, served on a division staff, and schooled on. He met his wife, and married her days before he returned to Vietnam.

Taylor’s second tour – 1970-71 – was altogether different. He immediately assumed command of Bravo Company, 1/7 Cav, and excelled as a commander and a leader. He was aggressive in the field, confident in his command, and assertive with his superiors. He fought a good war, a successful war, and when he was forced to take a staff job it was as his battalion’s intelligence officer. But the war was winding down, its purpose lost. Taylor’s spirit’s flagged, but not his fidelity.

This well-written combat memoir is heartfelt, earnest, honest and just a little melancholy.
