Review: We've Seen The Enemy - Paul Dayton- March 2010


We all know the famous quote  "We've seen the Enemy and the Enemy is Us" , this rings true for Science Fiction book We've seen the Enemy' by Paul Dayton. Written as almost like an Epic novel , it stands at 500+ pages and is a read that all science fiction fans will surely devour and then afterwards sit there and be like "that so didn't feel like 500+ pages". As someone who normally doesn't read Science fiction about Aliens though I have to admit I have read James Patterson's series Daniel X: Alien Hunter , I enjoyed this book as it did not start off all weird and spacey as one ,well me would expect a science fiction book set with the tune of aliens to start like. It started off with several people being awarded medals like in the army etc. "medals for which was for what they called in the novel - Suicide missions".
What made this book fun to was the fact that the main aliens were like giant ants and if you can imagine how tiny ants normally are and how many there are in ratio to human population it does make you smile as ants don't really seem like the Killer or scary alien type unlike say Cockroaches and Beetles.
An alien ship crashes on Earth; its contents make it clear that the dead ant-like aliens inside were on an offensive mission. As humanity is presented with the prospect of their doomed world, construction begins on hundreds of World Federation ships and extrasolar defense weapons to be used in the inevitable war.
The book We've seen the Enemy is set 700 years after the Great War and is a desperate race by a suicide team that may finally lead to the end of this interstellar war. Meanwhile, pockets of left-over human tribes on Earth have their own struggles, as they face power-hungry dictators and warped religious leaders. Behind all this are multiple alien forces, each with their own agenda.As truths turn into lies and friends become enemies, can humanity unite together to fight their common enemy?
The other thing that I really enjoyed about Paul Dayton's book basically had nothing to do with the actual story but in the beginning like round the introduction pages , he made tributes to some of the amazing classic writers like Jules Verne of "Around the World in 80 Days" an "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea".
