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.

New universe with Shogun mentality.
I loved this unpredictable sci-fi story. The characters were memorable and very realistic. This would make a great movie in the tradition of Star Wars.
Excellent srtart to a terrific series.
A challenge that few would take. If you want to read an out of this world book, try this one.
Holy crap what a story. I found this book on smashwords and I was so surprised. What an amazing author and a brilliant story.
It’s full of action adventure excitement and constant surprises. definitely one of those books that you feel like crying when it’s over cuz it was just so good you didn’t want to stop
I was thrilled to see how many more …
Love the entire series of nine books and recommend it… Oh and think it would make a terrific anime subject…
Good character and plot development. Just when you expect something to happen, it does but it’s not usually what you expect. The twist, turns and changes in direction made for a great story and I will certainly continue reading this series.
How do you defeat an enemy far advanced of you? Hopefully they are more interested in a good fight than your annihilation. Entertaining throughout.
The book was an awesome page turner. It kept me wanting more, I’m hooked.
The entire “In Her Name” series is excellent. There are nine books in the series and I was sad to see the last page. I will wait a few months and probably read them again. I never do that, so that is how much I enjoyed these books.
loved it. Very good read.
great book to read
Good start to a series, but not my cup of tea.
This is well written easy to read great writer
Book One, Lots of slashing and fighting. Even thrilling!
A little hard to begin, but I have found that often
sci fi needs a chapter ir two to set up the problem points and establish characters. This one pays off in the end.
I liked how each person’s thoughts were given right up to their last breath.
Great series
Very well written but the aliens powers smacked of fantasy/magic which I don’t care for. Also the attitude of the aliens made me angry. I would like to read more to see how the author will resolve a conflict that could crush humanity so easily.
Great series.
Pretentious
Great SciFi concept of a first contact with an alien culture. Excellent character development with lots of surprises in the story line.
