Publisher Description
Humans finally make first contact with a sentient alien species, but soon wish they hadn't.
When the survey ship TNS Aurora jumps into a previously unexplored system to discover not just one, but two worlds that could support human colonies, her captain and crew are ecstatic. But their joy is short-lived, for they have unwittingly stumbled into the ancient Kreelan galactic empire.
With their ship immobilized, the crew of the Aurora is captured by sword-wielding female warriors and taken aboard the titanic alien flagship. There, the aliens force the Aurora's survivors to participate in a fight to the death under the gaze of Tesh-Dar, high warrior priestess and the Empire's greatest living warrior.
Only young Midshipman Ichiro Sato survives the bloodbath, and Tesh-Dar returns him to Earth as a sacred Messenger, bearing unwelcome tidings from the Empire: there will be war.
If you enjoy epic space opera stories of first contact, alien invasion, and military science fiction, with plenty of action, adventure and even a dash of fantasy and romance, then you'll love First Contact, the first book of the In Her Name saga.

Balanced
Rather than the standard heroic human space adventures, this series offers a balanced perspective and view from both sides. Really enjoyed it and look forward to reading the rest of the saga.
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.
