Publisher's summary

The best defense....

Starting a war with an enemy 100 times stronger is insane. It’s desperate. And it’s Earth’s only hope.

A massive alien power looms over humanity, claiming Earth as its territory and humanity as its slaves. The Hegemony has already taken over one colony, yoking hundreds of thousands under their brutal rule. Every tactical exercise, every war game, and every simulation gives humanity zero chance in a defensive campaign.

Earth’s only chance to win the coming war - is by striking first.

Great Sci-Fi action!

Loved the book. I am a huge fan of science fiction. First Strike has, action, drama and good suspense. I would listen to on the way work and at home. Jeffery Kafer portrayed the people in the book very well, voices and all. His expressions were really good in the dialouge for the characters. Over all really good. Mr. Nuttall did wonderful writing First Strike. As I doubt there will be a sequel to this, I would really like to know how the furture of this book turned out and the back story of how it all began. Really, really great work.

great fun, but some plot holes.

Serious plot holes and logic flaws prevent five stars, but it was a fun ride.

Great start!

This book was nonstop action! I loved it! There is a whole universe of possibilities here. The author has barely scratched the surface. I am definitely hoping for more!

Liked It, Didn't Love It

Overall this was an enjoyable listen, however, there was too much repetition of the same thoughts by the same characters.

Superb Stand Alone Read

Chris Nuttall is an exceptionally gifted military science fiction writer. This book is similar to a number of other of his books I have read. Action packed, with a believable storyline. And being retired military myself, I appreciate that he presents military terminology and rank structure correctly. Strongly commend this book to every military sci fi reader!
