Description

When humanity is warned that a relentless alien force is heading for Earth, nations must set aside old divisions and prepare for a war unlike anything they have faced before. As military units mobilize and ordinary people are thrust into the center of a desperate defense, courage, loyalty, and sacrifice become the world’s most essential weapons. Blending hard-edged military science fiction with detailed tactics, vivid action, and strong character-driven camaraderie, the novel explores the costs of leadership and the resolve required to stand against overwhelming odds. It is the opening installment of a sweeping interstellar conflict in which humanity must fight not only to win, but to survive.
