Fear and Aggression

by Dane Bagley

A technological breakthrough has forever changed the scope and scale of space travel. Tension on earth builds as the inhabitants realize that the vast distance between stars has never been an obstacle for inter-planetary travel. The earth has always been exposed to the threat of an alien invasion.

The Space Force is commissioned to find them, before they find us. Steve Jenners, Captain of the Galaxy Charger, has been sent to an isolated corner of another galaxy to look for evidence of life. Dark and eerily quiet, he and Tammy Rogers, a beautiful civilian over the research lab, initiate a forbidden romance. Just as this relationship heats up, they discover an inhabited alien world.

Questions quickly arise: What makes an alien, an alien? What makes a human, human? Who or what should be feared? How does an alien world's belief in God converge with the faith of those who inhabit the earth?

With tensions rising and destruction looming, faith and forgiveness is compared and contrasted to Fear and Aggression.

I have to be honest, at first when I started reading this book, it didnt catch my attention. I was confused so I put it down for a while, went back and picked up where I left off. Once I had the understanding of this book and what it was about, I couldnt put it down. It was amazing and I hated when it ended and I didnt like the ending. I want a continuous....is there one? I hope so but I really ended up enjoying it. I cried toward the end like a baby but was relieved once I knew what was happening at the end. I wont tell more but I do recommend if you like this type of book regarding aliens, read it. overall GREAT book.

I thought the story line was intriguing but I had to trudge through the first half of the book. If I wasn't such a persistent reader I would not have finished it. In this books case I was glad I stuck with it. Thought provoking.
