Trident's Forge by Patrick S. Tomlinson

4.0

This book is set a few years after the first book but for the most part if you pick this one up in error and start first you will pick up the background without any problems. Benson is no longer a police officer but since he is a hero to many he is drafted to go with several other people to deal with a first contact with the natives of Atlantis that wasn’t supposed to happen but did thanks to the separatists that snuck away and made a village near them. Most people are worried about the one group warning the aliens against the others with examples of our past but it doesn’t seem to be the case. When a gathering of the tribes is called to let everyone know of the Earthlings then things go down the tubes quickly.

Benson and a native truth digger set out with others to find out who and why the gathering was attacked. And of course things are not what they seem there and problems back at the colony’s first city keep all the action moving quickly. This was a good read and I’ll be looking for the next book when it comes out.
