ANHOW Review of Books: "Crusade" by David Weber & Steve White

Crusade by David Weber & Steve White
Published by Baen Books in 1992

Synopsis:

Humanity has reached the stars and after two wars with a cat-like race they have forged an often uneasy alliance. Things are disrupted though when a human space fleet sporting identification codes from the 2nd war arrives from nowhere and attacks and destroys an alien fleet. The new fleet claims to have arrived to rescue "Holy Terra". Confusion reigns, war erupts, etc.

My review:

This is a good read. All of the battle scenes are well-written, whether they are in space or on the ground. Good escapist fun.

I give this book an "B+."

On a side note, I am thoroughly tired of earth being called "Terra" and the sun being called "Sol" in sci-fi novels.
