Publisher Description

In the first book of the In Her Name: The Last War trilogy, the Terran survey ship Aurora makes a startling discovery in an uncharted star system: two planets inhabited by an advanced, and decidedly unfriendly, non-human civilization. Disabled by gigantic alien warships before it can escape, the Aurora is boarded by nightmarish blue-skinned warriors with claws and fangs who slaughter the crew in ritual combat using primitive weapons. The sole survivor, Midshipman Ichiro Sato, is returned to Earth as a messenger bearing a device that warns of an impending attack.

For that is the way of the Kreelan Empire, which has waged war against civilizations across the stars in its quest for a savior, one not of their own blood, foretold in an ages-old prophecy. With only a few generations left before their ancient species faces extinction, the Kreelans will wage their last war against humanity, hoping against hope for redemption of sins long past.

AndyWhee ,

A well written huge universe with a host of characters to match.

Brilliantly written, great characters who you never know if they will live or die, great aliens who are truly inhumane and fight for a cause which makes no sense to a human audience. A well written huge universe with a host of characters to match.

Empire (In Her Name)

Read this after reading ‘First Contact’. Great read! The only time I put it down was to recharge the battery. Looking forward to getting more books in this series.

In Her Name series

I read the first book because it was free. Was I hook line and sinkered! Superb collection, great storyline, brilliantly crafted. Definitely not just for sci fi fans.
