In a new science fiction adventure series by a New York Times best-selling author, the Galactic Hegemony seeks stability, threatened by aggressive species like the Shongairi. When the Hegemony Survey Force discovers Earth, home to humans who are as dangerous as the Shongairi, they decide to use the latter to eliminate this new threat. The result is catastrophic: Earth is conquered, cities lie in radioactive ruins, and over half the human population is wiped out in mere minutes. Master Sergeant Stephen Buchevsky, expecting to return home from Afghanistan, finds himself navigating the Balkans, evading alien patrols while trying to rally scattered survivors. Meanwhile, in the southeastern US, former Marine Dave Dvorak becomes a key figure in a burgeoning resistance network, risking his family's safety for the fight against their oppressors. Both men face dire odds, and the future of humanity appears grim. However, the Shongairi and the Hegemony may have underestimated the resilience and resourcefulness of the inhabitants of Earth.
