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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e DEFEND THE SKIES OF EARTH \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Standing against the invasion are two of humanity's finest starship captains: Winslow Price of the British Space Navy and Anika Ahuja of the Indian Space Forces. Compatriots. Fierce competitors. Former lovers. Now they are on a quest that will plumb the scientific wells of existence, where the primordial knot of spacetime may be unraveling. Price and Ahuja 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 the edge of ultimate possibility! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e TAKE THE BATTLE TO THE STARS \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Johnson, a NASA physicist, brings verisimilitude and scientific accuracy to this adventure, and his passion for the details of space travel will undoubtedly please readers looking for old-school hard science fiction.\" --\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout \u003ci\u003eMission to Methone\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"The spirit of Arthur C.
