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.

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.
In Her Name series
I read the first book because it was free. Was I hook line and sinkered! Superb collection, great storyline, brilliantly crafted. Definitely not just for sci fi fans.
