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.

Gripping

Another great story that I couldn't put down. I don't know how you could come up with a sequel to this, but try. :)

As brilliant as in written format

Originally got this in hardback years ago, signed by Mr Weber along with two of his other books, one of which his wife also signed for me in a London bookshop. I have waited years for this to come to audio and bought it as soon as it came out.
Excellent narration, just sorry to have finished it so soon. I suspect I will need to listen to it again soon.
