In the year 3014, the fledgling Confederation of Colonies must overcome one last barrier to unity: the centuries-old scourge of the pirate factions. Now a message from one of them offers bright hope … or will it lead to a new darkness? They were never heard from again.Īs humanity’s star-colonies struggle to emerge from a long dark age, the probes are all but forgotten. Aldin, especially if it is similar to this.900 years ago, we launched the probes, hoping to find the light of intelligence in the vast dark. I think I enjoyed the first two acts more, though the third served a specific purpose, which it did well! I'm looking forward to reading more by Peter J.

Third Contact is split into three acts (I adore the irony/planning here, given the title). That is precisely what is happening here, giving readers plenty of reasons to be invested in the story.

Science fiction is always at its best (in my opinion) when it has strong characters driving the plot. However, a new arrival will quickly put pirates in the back of their minds. However, they are a unified front against pirates and other resistors, who want nothing more than to take everything they have worked so hard for. More accurately, the Confederation of Colonies is at war.

The year is 3014, and humanity is still at war. Personally, I'm a sucker for a good space opera, so I couldn't resist when offered to read and review this gem! If you love space operas, expansive universes, and high stakes, then you should pick up Third Contact by Peter J. Humanity’s neighbors have extended an invitation. With the confirmation that aliens are building their own space-faring civilization 260 lightyears away, the human race’s petty brawling seems suddenly insignificant. The crew of the starship Assured are in the midst of fighting the final pocket of pirate resistance on the verges of human-explored space when the battle is interrupted by a deep space transmission from a long-lost probe. 900 years ago, we launched the probes, hoping to find the light of intelligence in the vast dark.
