Book number two of a three book space opera first contact series.  I reread the well formatted and bound POD (print on demand) trade paperback.  I have the third book in the series and am going read it also.
The series started with an alien starliner FTL drive exploding in the Solar System around 2030.  A couple hundred of the aliens survived in individual lifeboats, some of which crashed on the planet Earth.  The first book covered several of the survivors across the planet and their conversion to human forms through innate abilities.
In the second book, several of the Earth's nations build FTL starships capable of holding up to 400 people and head out looking for the alien's home world.  This is their story.
Like I said for the first book, wow, this is pulp science fiction at its best !  I loved it !  I gave the first book 6 stars, my highest rating.
My rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Amazon rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars (123 reviews)
