Truth Metric (Fringe Space #1‪)‬

Fringe Space is Geoffrey Thorne's galaxy-spanning tale of humanity's first contact with a REAL alien species, the MERCANTI, and the often brutal and bloody events that follow.

The Mercanti are truly alien and seem to have one goal: expand and kill anything that in any way blocks that expansion. Humanity's far-spanning civilization is in their way and we're not stepping aside for the Mercanti.

Told from various points of view, FRINGE SPACE is a space opera of galactic proportions that also manages to be personal and very very human.
