Overview

Suppose for a minute that the Aztecs or the Incas knew that Cortez or Pizzaro was on his way with the Conquistadors. They knew it weeks in advance and instead of welcoming them as gods, they met them with every weapon they had at their disposal. Don't you think history would have been different?" The Hive poses this very question for mankind, for what if we were forewarned that a hostile alien race was about to exterminate us? An unmanned probe built by Russia and the United States on its way to the outer planets crosses paths with an alien device that's been spying on us since the year 1908. This leads to the discovery of a fleet of insectoid aliens on their way to Earth. With three years warning, could we defend ourselves from an invasion by a horrific alien race?

The Hive is hard science fiction set in the near future of 2019. The effort to defend the Earth uses actual technology tested in the US and Russia up until the 1970s but never put into production and proposed weapons programs currently under development. There is Political intrigue involving a duplicitous People's Republic of China, a self serving reporter and a horrific unstoppable enemy whose only goal is extermination of the "soft-life" (human beings) that inhabit the third planet of the sun. The Hive is the story of humanity at last finding common ground and unification in our struggle to defeat a technologically superior enemy. It is also a story about the triumph of the human spirit as seen through the eyes of American aerospace engineer, Colin Hewette, who had lost his fiancée six years earlier and Russian/Ukrainian radio astronomer, Marina Asamova, who find love against a countdown to invasion.

    Great Sci-Fi for everyone, enough technology for the die hards, romance for the softies and cooperative undertakings for the optimists. Just a great all around read!

    I picked up this book just because I wanted a good sci fi novel to read on a 2 hour flight that would eventually be a round trip. Well, it just didnt work out that way. I got to my destination and checked in to my hotel. I finished the book that day only because I could not put it down. The characters were well established at a great pace, you didnt have to refer back at all. The visuals were well thought out and outstanding in their imaginative qualities. The story progressed very well and I was hard pressed to find a "good stopping point" for a break....I went hungry.... Undoubtedly by now you can figure that I liked the book. I liked it so much that I called the publisher to find out about other works by this author since I could not find anything else about him on the internet. They said that another book is in the works. They reluctanctly told me that it would probably be called Red Moon. I look forward to reading it!!

    I found 'The Hive' both fascinating and believable. The author uses a very detailed 'real science' approach which obviously requires a great deal of research and personal experience. Once I picked up this novel, I couldn't put it down!

    The author of 'The Hive' is obviously very well versed in 'real science' technology. I have personally researched portions of his work and found it to be based upon factual, true to life science. I found the characters alive, reactive, intense and believable. When I first read the plot summary, I thought it might be based upon old ideas, then as I zipped through the first few chapters, I realized that I couldn't have been any more wrong. The ideas were fresh and the plot transitioned well from chapter to chapter. Unlike many novels that I have read, 'The Hive' kept my interest continuously from the beginning to the end. I found myself anxious to resume reading and forcing myself to put it down. The author's writing style reflected both his technical know-how and his passions. I found the relationship between the two main characters to be intense but not overwhelming, leaving me with the impression that they were probably based upon true-life characters connected personally to the author. The over-all appearance of the book, though a little dark in color, was very well done. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Science Fiction, Thrillers, Adventures or just simply a 'Good Read'.
