Fighting for freedom from galactic tyrannyGeneral Cherry Lindstrom is responsible for the defense of the colony world, Concordia. This last outpost of human civilization lives under constant threat of attack from hostile aliens who claim the planet as their own.But decades have passed since the last assault, and the colonists have grown complacent. Thanks to the effects of time dilation, only … of time dilation, only Cherry and a handful of others remember the devastation wreaked on Concordia previously.
The Concordians don’t understand the danger the colony is in. Cherry must find a way to convince them and to build effective fighting force—before it’s too late.
Two galactic civilizations. One planet. Who will win?
Humanity’s Fight is book two in the second part of the space colonization epic, Space Colony One.

J.J. Green is a pro at writing space operas. I thoroughly enjoyed her original Space Colony One series and am now getting totally engrossed in its sequel series, Space Colony One, Part Two. This is addictive stuff as evidenced by my non-stop binge read of this new series three books, Interstellar Mission, Humanity’s Fight and Final Onslaught. This is both an epic space colonization adventure (the colony here, Concordia, is the last gasp for humanity) and an intense look at what drives people. It’s cast, especially star Cherry Lindstrom, are all complex and well designed, and it’s nemesis, the alien Scythians, scarily well done. Strong plots and story arc all blend into one thrilling and fun read. I’m happy to strongly recommend these books.
The last attack came decades ago and the colonists are starting to forget the threat. Can our heroine remind them the threat still exists before it is too late?
This is the second book in the series. While the story itself is fairly self contained, a lot of the backstory is missing. I would recommend starting with the first book in the series.
This is a space opera series about colonizing a new planet and the trials thereof, not the least of which is hostile aliens. The story is very well written with a detailed plot with lots of interesting twists and turns. The characters are also well developed with their own quirks, both good and bad. The story is getting more intense as we go along and the plot is still engaging and kept me interested right up to the end. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
Highly recommended.

This is a gripping continuation of the Space Colony One saga. J.J. Green’s “The Space Colony One” series began with a colony ship carrying the last of humanity landing on a new world, previously identified as a good bet for settlement. They have fought battles between colonist factions, and an invasion from space — survived and thrived
Over the years, the Colony has grown and prospered, life is good, but some haven’t forgotten the threat of the Scythians. Cherry is trying to keep the fear alive and train the colonists for the return of the Scythians. The problem is that it has been a long time since they last attacked and most don’t believe they will ever return. But soon they just might have an unwelcome visitor. Can they be appeased wth a tribute, or will this be the end of humanity.
There is a great blend of action and insight into human behavior in this 5-star series.

This series is so very good. I have enjoyed the journey with the last of humanity and have faith that we will persevere. The struggles and friendships come to a huge climax and the fate of the colony is uncertain. I can’t wait for the next one !…..
There is so much energy in the air. A lot of prepping for the return of the Scythians. But it has been a long time since they were repelled the last time. Some don’t think that they will be back. Now the time has come. The Scythians will be here in less than two hours. Crazy times on the way. So much destruction what will happen now? Will the little grub people help them or leave them? Will have to wait to see in the next book. Excellent story. Ah! Now I have to worry about the planet until the next book comes out.
