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.

First Contact
I found myself totally absorbed in this story. Well done!
Sci-Fi Hopeless Horror
X rated for Gore. Adults only Sci-Fi Horror first 9 Chapters. Killed off main characters. Sad beginning. Downer. Great writing but very unpleasant spending time in this author’s head. That’s it for me.
In Her Name (entire series)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book as well as the entire series. I have read the first 9 books several times. Hicks has created a rich cast of characters interacting in a complex and engaging universe. I highly recommend all the books in this series as well as his other books.
