About The Book

FIRST TOUCH

In First Touch: Captain Tarif “Tar” Barsak and his team aboard patrol cruiser Werner Von Braun are dispatched to discover what happened to the wreckage of a mining tender that was the home for fifty-seven people. Their discovery is not a simple accident, but a first spark of a great conflict that will change human history.

H. Lee Willis is a retired electrical engineer and historian. He has combined his knowledge of history and his experience as an electrical engineer with exceptional storytelling skills. His technical background has allowed him to produce a very realistic and fascinating military science fiction series. The story is very engaging, involving the character of Captain Barsak; a man who was both a hero and a villain, people of his time could not decide. In this way readers become involved in an exciting mystery where the laws of physics are as dangerous as the enemy hiding in the stars.

It’s A Masterpiece For Readers

My grandfather would say that history is always repeating itself, and this book is a fine example. Even in the 24th century, when there is all that sophisticated AI, humans are still struggling with greed and frontier issues, as in the old times. I loved the “detective” vibe of investigating the missing space stations. It’s a fantastic start to a series, and I’m already looking for Book Two

I picked this up during a long flight, thinking I’d just nap, but the opening letter from “FltAdm. T.C. Barsak” caught me immediately. What a haunted feeling it must be for a retired commander to be able to say the truth after the silence of fifty years. I’m not generally a big fan of military sci-fi, but the relationship between crew members made me really care about their fate.

I’ve spent twenty years working as a mechanical technician, so I usually roll my eyes at space books where the technology feels like magic. This book was a breath of fresh air. You can tell the author actually knows how systems work. If you want a story that respects the laws of physics while keeping your heart racing, this is it.
