Letter 44 tells two stories. The first, newly elected President Blades who assumes office only to find out that everything he knows to be true is a lie. Seven years ago Nasa discovered an alien presence in the asteroid belt near Jupiter. The aliens intentions are unclear, all we know is that they’re building something….
The second story is of the covert team of Astronauts sent to investigate the alien presence. A mix of scientists and military personnel, manning a space shuttle that can only be described as “unreliable”.
One part “Inception” one part “House of Cards”, Charles Soule (swamp thing) tells a story that is unique and intriguing. I was completely engrossed from cover to cover. The art, by relative new comer Alberto Jimenez Alburquerque, is vivid and dynamic. The book is as much a pleasure to look at as it is to read. I highly recommend this title to any Sci-Fi fan.
