Summary

Humanity has always looked to the heavens, curiosity urging them to take flight.

After a failed mission to go beyond the borders of Earth’s solar system, a new fleet has been built ready to tackle any threat they may discover. But sometimes danger seeks out victims, and just as they are preparing to depart, two ships arrive on the edge of their space. Unsure if these invaders are friendly or hostile, the Behemoth, the flagship of the fleet and only real military vessel, prepares for battle. When one of their space stations is destroyed, they must come to terms with the possibility that they may be outmatched and outgunned...for these intruders seem intent on violence. After getting no answers to requests to talk and seemingly no offer for quarter, humanity must face the very real possibility of extinction.

Just about peaked my interest...

I think that sets up up book 1...let's see...
In fact book 1 & 2 are 1 credit so hopefully more of the same....
I highly recommend NOT ALONE series...

Disappointing

weak plot that fizzled out, characters weren't well drawn and dialogue wasn't convincing. the most surprising thing was the ending -The end credits suddenly started and I thought my phone had gone wrong and lost a couple of chapters.

Dull and slow.

Nothing new. Slow story. Poor sentence structure. No tension. Too USA. Too stereo typical. Boring voice.
