“Albatross – Contact” is a gripping science fiction novel of the warring-aliens variety. It introduces a variety of well-developed characters, both human and alien, some of whom interact peacefully, and others whose attacks result in full-on, rip-roaring, seriously tech-enhanced battles.
The principal male character is outstanding in physical strength, ability, emotion and leadership, and – in this first book of a series – needs to develop his control of those qualities; the main female character is strong in intelligence and leadership, and seems more controlled, pragmatic and emotionally grounded. They both got into my heart, and so did a number of the other characters, including aliens.
