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 countless 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.

Really enjoyed the read
I hope in future books I will find some interaction between worlds which does not include slashing and stabbing.
Good read with believable characters that had depth.
Good Sci-Fi novel. Author has good imaginations and it is well written. Makes you want to obtain his next novels to continue the story.
I didn’t think I’d be interested in the story line, but was NOT disappointed. Be prepared to stay up late!
I like it, but I prefer more romance and some fantasy mixed in.
Ordinarily I would like a Star-Trek like novel, however, I just could not get hooked during the first few pages, and that is my criteria for continuing to read. I will often skip forward to see if it becomes more attractive to my reading likes, but just didn’t happen with this book. No disrespect to the author.
