They're here.

A ship for every city.

An invasion force beyond our comprehension.

Max Edwards has always felt like something was wrong with the world. Like something was…off.

Like his entire life was a lie being told by the people around him.

Then, it begins. From his friend’s acreage outside Oklahoma City, he witnesses a giant saucer descend from the sky to hover over the city.

Countries all around the world report the same thing – mysterious vessels that refuse all attempts to communicate.

As the world comes apart at the seams, Max realizes everything that’s ever happened to him was leading up to this.

And as impossible as it seems, he may be the only one with the ability to save humanity.

Mere survival won't be enough. Humanity stands to lose everything.

To fight the invaders, Max must forget everything he thought he knew.

Download this gripping alien invasion book and learn humanity's fate.

Trust is in short supply yet trust they must in an unexpected ally if some of the world is to be saved. Action packed, mystery, shocking tactics needed. Edge of seat stuff.

This is World War Z meets Independence Day meets Flight of the Navigator – Its Full On!!

Reviewed in Australia on 5 January 2020

Format: Kindle Edition

Max is a teenage lad who seems pretty gifted in life. He has a good friend Jimmy, and they spend their time together, Jimmy is a bit of a screw-up, but Max is the perfect student. Max’s parents Cynthia and Peter (?) seem to be the perfect parents. Max has been invited to attend an Elite College next year, life looks great.
That is until the Aliens come in their massive ships. Until they do something to everyone, and most people turn on each other, going berserk and attacking each other, killing each other. Only a few are able to resist whatever is happening.
It is then that Max learns that his life has been anything but normal. He was breed to be a super soldier, resistant to the Aliens, and with the abilities to fight the Aliens, as well as fly their technology, a lot of which we have after one of their ships crashed in Roswell in 1947, and has been used to reverse engineer super fighters to engage them.
But humanity had been hoping for decades yet before the Aliens came, so that we had time to prepare, prepare a fleet of ships, and pilots, not just a single kid with no training, who is suddenly faced with the realisation that everything in his life has been a lie to save all of humanity…. Can Max hold it together? Can he save everyone? Will there be anyone to save?
This is an explosive, fast action in your face book, that is part thriller, part zombie apocalypse, part alien invasion, part coming of age, and ALL ACTION, as you jump from one page to the next, trying not to read forward or jump chapters to find out what is going to happen to not only Max, but other major characters that he meets along the way (I am not going to mention names to avoid spoilers).
The writing is gritty and powerful, Bartlett brings a lot of powerful emotion into the story, as Max struggles to cope with everything that has happened to him, what he is, the betrayal that he has had to deal with, but ultimately, for the right reasons. The other characters in this story are just as fantastic, and so well written. Whilst there is not a lot of depth to some of the other characters, there doesn’t need to be in this style of story, as we get the depth from the Max main character, as well as his friend Jimmy. The only other people I would have liked to have seen more from were his parents, Cynthia and Peter, who didn’t get as much air time as I would have liked.
The action is well written, again, without giving too much away, the combat scenes are very detailed, with just enough detail to make them in-depth and gritty, but not so much as to make them gruesome, and lose some potential audience members (this is easily still in the PG13 category, and is probably more designed for a YA audience).
The tech was a lot of fun, there was an interesting combination of hybrid stuff from the human and alien tech.
Overall this is a great story, a lot of fun to read, an interesting concept, something that is kind of original in some aspects, and certainly a very interesting mash up of themes into a single book. It makes for a great page turner, and once you get stuck into it, you won’t be putting it down easily, well worth the read.

Good Yarn

Reviewed in Australia on 18 March 2020

Format: Kindle Edition

I enjoyed this book quite a bit, although I had to suspend my sense of disbelief somewhat. It reminded me of when I first started reading SF, more than 65 years ago, when it was just swashbuckling space opera without much hard science fact to support it. Instead of rocket propulsion powering the spaceships then, we now have gravity fields, powered by an unknown new element, to reach the far corners of the cosmos. The further into the story I got the more I began to enjoy it for what it was, a good yarn. For me this was not about the mechanics of how to get somewhere, it's about the actions that were taken on arrival. All in all, a good read and I'll be continuing further into the series to see things pan out.

This is quite a good story that was interesting with a highly believable story line. It will be interesting to see if there is a sequel that expands on the aliens and their continued involvement with humanity.

I sometimes wonder why people behave or act the way they do. Are they insane, a screw loose, sadistic for the fun of it, or just blinded by power madness. I would have given this story a five star rating. But it bothered me immensely that the Janet perversion was perpetrated for no real reason other than sadistic pleasure. For me, it caused me to loose the flavour of this story.
Most people or fans will simply lap up this gratuitous sadism. In moderation fine. This went well beyond okay and was not necessarily needed.

disappointing and slow

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 January 2020

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The premise of the story is a familiar one but aren't we passed giant saucer spaceships floating over cities as an image? Story never achieved lift off, and seemed to be stuck with the awkward premises (I won't spoil the story here) that meant we are following uninteresting characters, doing odd things that seem to have no relationship to the fictional reality. The aliens just don't work -- this isn't about being credible, it is about making the story work with them in it. Sorry.

Not finished this book yet, only read at bedtime. After reading description on line I thought it worth a try.
It seems to follow the tried and tested conspiracy theories about aliens.
After several paragraphs, I thought, I’m not going to bother carrying on. I seemed to get bogged down and loosing track of who was who.
Decided to plod on a bit more, then Wham! It suddenly sprang to life and made more sense.
If it keeps on current track I think It will turn out a good read.

Only 70% of the book read so far. However, very disappointed thus far. Plenty of alien spaceships in orbit or the usual of hovering over cities. The rest of the story is zombie like humans on a killing spree. Unless the remaining 30% bucks up it will fade away in the waste of money category. The hero is in conflict despite the books aspiration of his genius. Made some real dumb decisions for a genius.

An interesting slant on a alien invasions and how it is happens without people being aware of the insidious infiltration taking place. A good story with strong characters and an overall plan to sort the aliens out. Without spoiling the story I can say it starts slowly and builds to an exciting crescendo with lots of exciting action and intrigue in between.

When I started reading this book some of the scenarios seemed a little irrelevant but as the story unfolded it all fell in to place. The flow of the book is such that I just kept on reading. Give it a try, you will enjoy it if you believe in other intelligent species in the universe. That is I suppose if you classify the human race AS intelligent.😉

Earth is under attack and only an unlikely young man can save mankind

Reviewed in the United States on 25 November 2019

IMAGINE your reaction when you discover nearly all of humanity has gone mad, killing each other, but you and your best friend from high school are somehow unaffected. There is a huge and clearly alien spacecraft hovering over Oklahoma City, the city you call home, and on TV news you learn this is happening over all major cities of the world, just before the newscaster is attacked and the broadcast ends. What would you do?

Scott Bartlett, one of my favorite authors for several years, has once again “changed gears” and gone in a direction different than any of his prior works. In Mothership, Max and Jimmy find themselves isolated at Jimmy’s home, a farm outside Oklahoma City, the city where Max lived with his parents before he entered the Air Force Academy a year earlier. Soon after learning that the ships are all over the world, and the whole world has gone mad, all communications ends. No cell phones or internet, and broadcasters simply cease to broadcast anything.

Max and Jimmy find themselves in a position where they must leave the farm just outside Oklahoma City. They encounter a few others unaffected by the madness which is clearly related to the presence of the alien ships, and one of those they hook up with KNOWS all about Max, things he shouldn’t know even though Max knows him from high school. Jimmy is a UFO ‘enthusiast’ who is sure Max’s parents, who do classified work for the government, are involved in secret UFO research at Area 51. Max learns his parents have kept secrets about HIM as part of their government job.

Mothership is a real page turner as the story evolves and Max slowly learns more and more about his uniqueness, his parents and others who work with his parents. Come along on the journey which I found to be a plausible explanation of so many things about humankind and alien beings.

Scott does his usual great job of painting ‘mind images’ of the scenes as the story unwinds in a way that gets more and more complicated as we learn more about the aliens and the secret government agency whose sole job was to be prepared for the ‘arrival’ of the aliens. And there is a deadline, no one is sure what it is, but clearly they have only days to discover how to defeat the invaders.

Ender's Independence Day Walking Dead Game

Reviewed in the United States on 21 January 2020

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

...or, in other words, derivative. This is an adequate novel with an adequate plot, but it borrows so much from recent great books and movies that you almost feel like the author created the narrative using post-it notes with current memes written on each one, arranging them into the published work.

As a YA scifi novel, it seems...adequate. (Hey, if the author can refer to the main character as "the asset" over a hundred times, I get to use "adequate" three times.) There are alien ships hovering over major cities, and people turned into zombie-light-sort-ofs, and "the agency," and a single 20-year-old who can Save The World if only he can handle all his interminable angst. Uh, yeah. Okay.

Oh, and a rogue/"good" alien AI who is really intelligent...and really good at revealing information only at the times when it conveniently advances the author's story. Again, okay.

The main character has a forgettable sidekick pothead friend who seems entirely dispensable to the plot, and (of course!) he meets the girl of his dreams while escaping "the agency" and the aliens. Didn't see that coming! - said no one ever.

Fluffy escapist reading if you like the genre. It's all set up at the end for a sequel (of course!)...which I won't be buying.

Max was created to be THE weapon necessary to defeat the returning aliens, but they came too soon.

Reviewed in the United States on 29 November 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Mother Ship is a well written story of the arrival of aliens to earth that ties in to the conspiracy theories surrounding Area 51 and the Roswell, NM crash of an alien ship. Max learns that everything he knew about his life wasn't true, but because of the mysterious "behind the scene" training he had received, he knew he had to accept the challenge of saving earth and thus the story begins. But to save the world first he must elude not only the hordes of the now mindless murderous zombie-like humans that are rampaging between him and the secret base he needed to get to, but he also has to escape the very people involved in his training when the person in charge loses grasp of reality and seeks him so that she can, as she sees it, retain control of the coming fight. The story, which has in it aliens, zombies, alien space crafts, and groups of preppers trying to survive the chaos of the world they find themselves in, masterfully combines all these elements with the final character, a rouge AI entity that inexplicably seeks to help Max fight the alien invaders. All of these elements are masterfully tied together in well-written prose and page turning action. The characters are believable as is the entire story line. The book is an entertaining space opera.
