The Enochians took Earth totally by surprise when they attacked without provocation. Earth was losing to the technologically superior race when the discovery of the mutated gene in their system that if tweaked the right way would be almost one hundred percent fatal. Captain Roger Stimson of the U.S. Intelligence Biological and Chemical Warfare Unit developed and released a virus that killed billions of the aliens and sent them running home. Roger lives with the genocide he committed by becoming an ER nurse in New Orleans and he is on duty when the Enochian Dingo is admitted. Dingo states that one group of Enochians want to restart the war and they will do that by assassinating the President when he comes to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Also targeted for assassination is the Enochian Prefect who is coming to Earth to open up trade negotiations. The Enochian believe that an enemy that can defeat you is worthy of friendship and trade but there are humans and aliens who donĘt agree with that concept; these strange bedfellows will do whatever it takes to restart the war to destroy the otherĘs civilization. FORMIDABLE ENEMY is a serio-comic work of science fiction. The protagonist is viewed by some as a hero that ended the war and by others as a genocidal Hitler. He has to live with his own conscience, but courageously intends to help Dingo stop the assassinations or die trying. Terry Bramlett is excellent with character development inside an action-packed storyline that would make a great movie.
