Imagine that Area 51 is really an intergalactic launch pad and you get contemporary sci-fi with far future FTLS tech. Add a kick-ass pilot, sexy Alien Warrior and a galactic level battle against evil for a super story. Throw in some nano-cytes and its no holds barred. I liked everything about the Fyn (hero) and Sara (heroine) and the villain while a bad guy, had enough dimension to be interesting.
My only quibble is when Sara turns down sex with Fyn, she explains she's not that kind of a girl . I have no objection to a character not jumping in the sack (or jumping in) for whatever reason, but that phrase is a bit too close to slut-shaming for my comfort.

Good story, but poor editing. Lots of errors, and too much filler that should have been cut for a tighter story.

Love Sarah - especially smart ass Sarah forced into a dress. I loved it when she lost her temper and when she kicked ass. While she had some pretty handy and conveient powers she was not annoyingly perfect so that is ok. Loved the relationship between Sarah & Fyn too. Can't wait to read more by this author.

Sara, the protagonist, was very disappointing. She spoke and thought like an immature teenager. I found it extremely unbelievable that she was of age to join the Air Force, let alone be a pilot (and in a world with FTL capabilities to travel other galaxies). The universe the author created was beyond what I was able to believe and the male chauvinism (supported by the protagonist many times) was also frustrating. Many times I was also taken out of the futuristic setting with current day references. The writing style is more appropriately categorized as a YA novel and an average one.

I really enjoyed this book. Good, fun read. The plot slowed a little in a few sections - otherwise, it was really good.

The first novel in the Project Enterprise series is a rollicking science fiction adventure. The United States is venturing out into a new galaxy "to boldly go where no man has gone before" (sorry couldn't resist the Star Trek reference). As luck would have it, first contact finds us in the middle of an intergalactic civil war. When Sara Donovan, an elite pilot, is shot down she finds herself alone on an inhospitable planet with Fyn, a member of the Ojemba (a resistance group aiding the Gadi against the evil Dusan). All three groups are looking for a mysterious "key" that will give them the power to win the war, and when Sarah appears to be linked to the key she finds herself being fought over by all three groups. While this book is listed as a romance, there are none of the expected steamy sex scenes. This is truly just a fun science fiction adventure, the romance is almost a side effect of the story. This would be a good way to get girls interested in science fiction. The addition of a strong female fighter pilot heroine is also a plus.
