Sean Randall reviewed In Her Name First Contact by Michael R. Hicks
Review of 'In Her Name First Contact' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
"“With all due respect,” she said, not sounding very respectful at all, “you’re fucking crazy. Sir. The ship can’t take it. If somebody so much as farts in the forward section, let alone fires the main guns, we lose the forward third of the ship.”
Very exciting military sci-fi indeed. I even got a little shiver at the epilogue with John and Elaine Coyle, charged and emotional writing there.
I think Hicks writing really echoes his forbears, too; I'm quite versed in Heinlein and there were echoes there. I look forward to reading more by this guy, one to keep an eye on!
