Description

When humankind's first contact with a strange alien species goes awry, detective and Ark hero Brian Benson is left to pick up the pieces Against all odds, the Ark and her thirty-thousand survivors have reached Tau Ceti G to begin the long, arduous task of rebuilding human civilization. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Tau Ceti G's natives, the G'tel, are coming to grips with the sudden appearance of what many believe are their long-lost Gods. But first contact between humans and G'tel goes catastrophically wrong, visiting death on both sides. Rumors swirl that the massacre was no accident. The Ark's greatest hero, Bryan Benson, takes on the mystery. Partnered with native 'truth-digger' Kexx, and against both of their better judgment, Benson is thrust into the heart of an alien culture with no idea how to tell who wants to worship him from who wants him dead. Together, Benson and Kexx will have to find enough common ground and trust to uncover a plot that threatens to plunge both of their peoples into an apocalyptic war that neither side can afford to fight.

Reviews

Another amazingstory with all the twists and turns Ive come to expect from Patrick S. Tomlinson. With a great mix of science fiction, action and mystery it is wonderfully written and its not world building but asthe author said its race building, so dont miss out on the turbulent ups and downs that had me undeniably hooked throughout the entire thing.

A solid read, and one I definitely recommend.
Strange Currencies

I could not put Tridents Forge down, and read it in one marathon sitting. That is as much due to the writing style and characters as the non-stop, nail-biting story thread. If youre an outer space sci-fi geek like I am, youre going to love this series!

If youve not tried The Ark, Id start there first but come back to this one, itll reward your effort.
