About this listen
An alien spacecraft has crashed on Earth.
A group of scientists want to establish contact with the aliens.
A hostile government wants to nuke the crash site.
Special Forces Major Joe Hunt is caught in the middle.
With time running out to establish a peaceful relationship with the aliens, Joe must battle his instincts and unexpected forces that threaten the very future of humanity. Regardless of what happens, Earth risks being dragged into a galactic civil war it's not ready for.
Minus Epsilon is classic military science fiction that fans of Marko Kloos and Joe Haldeman won’t want to miss. Readers call this thrilling first-contact novel “the most amazing action sci-fi romp”.

Story
In Conquest of the New World, the inevitable moment arrives—humanity’s century-long broadcasts into the cosmos are finally answered. But as an alien ship enters Earth’s orbit, claiming peaceful intent, the world is on the brink of unprecedented transformation—or catastrophe. This brilliantly crafted thriller blends the geopolitical depth of Tom Clancy with the scientific precision of Arthur C. Clarke, creating a narrative that is as much about international power struggles and crisis management as it is about the philosophical and existential dilemmas of First Contact.
