It all began as a routine port-of-call at a friendly alien planet... Ensign Carol Hansen is six months out of Fleet University, and six months out of a toxic relationship that made no sense to anyone but her. Serving aboard Liberty is everything she had aspired to. But that sweet time comes to an abrupt, violent end when Liberty is destroyed in an unexpected attack. Carol is lucky enough to be 'ashore' in the alien city below, and barely survives the death raining down from space. Can she overcome the shock and grief of loss and meet the challenge of combat leadership? Is she ready to transform herself from raw ensign to battle-tested warrior? Can she likewise face up to that failed relationship, and perhaps see with new, more seasoned eyes someone who had always been right beside her? David Powell, his dreams of a Fleet commission crushed by a family tragedy, is pulled into the same unforeseen conflict. He must now find his way back to his true future. And, somehow, to the woman he fell for that first day of Freshman year. Caught at the sudden and violent collision of three cultures, they find themselves inexorably drawn into Earth's first interstellar war, a war for which no one is fully prepared. Here's what readers are saying about Silver Enigma... "...one of the best crafted works I've read in a long time." "This book has it all. Great characters you can get attached to, great and unique storyline with twists and curves, and a great ending to the first book that makes it all worthwhile." "This book does a great job of combining a thrilling story, character development, science fiction with true/believable science, and real military terms and interactions." "Wow, so sorry this book wasn't longer. I could have happily continued reading this story for days." "A gripping piece, with interesting ideas and a willingness to spend time on a character before killing them off, managing to avoid a lot of plot cliches along the way." "Solid space opera with well-developed characters." "This is the best sci-fi series I have read in years. Whitehouse doesn't skimp on the physics, making the story both realistic and futuristic." "Tight plot, excellent handling of the multiple sub-plots, and characters that come to life in that way that makes them feel like your friends, neighbors, coworkers - not just characters in books."
