Terran survey ship Aurora finds two habitable planets in an uncharted star system. But Aurora is disabled by gigantic alien warships and boarded by blue-skin females with fangs and claws. The warriors slaughter the crew in ritual one-on-one combat. The sole survivor is returned to Earth. This Messenger bears a real-time globe device that counts down to an impending attack.

That is the way of the Kreelan Empire. For centuries before man have they waged war, seeking a prophesied savior. Soon to be extinct, the ancient species wages their last war, hoping for redemption of sins long past.

Write Up Appertaining To Books First Contact (In Her Name: The Last War #1)

I read the In Her Name trilogy last year and considered it one of my top reads for 2010. I have been looking forward to reading this prequel but have been a little hesitant, fearful that it wouldn't be of the same caliber as In Her Name. I am thrilled to say that I had nothing to fear.This is a top-notch first contact story. The reactions of the humans and the politics involved in humanity's first contact with the Kreelans felt very real. The battle scenes were gripping and it had that

It's been a while since I've read a great Sci-Fi book and Michael R. Hicks' In Her Name First Contact was, indeed, great.The characters were well written and had great depth to them. You know a book is well written when, even though the antagonists are terrifying, you still feel for them and want to learn more about why they do what they do. I had a hard time hating the Kreelans, especially Tesh-Dar and Li'ara-Zhurah as they were just such well written antagonists that I really grew to know

Well, this author can line up one word after another well enough, but I dont think I have ever read anything so cheesy. Theres more overacting by the stereotypically perfect crew members in this novel than in the worst toothpaste commercials on television. The descriptions are as wooden and wobbly as the cheapest backdrops of a bargain bucket TV series. Theres more telling than showing here than I have ever seen before, even though I tend to scoff at the old show, dont tell chestnut. But this is

This was a new author for me, and I love a good book that a long-running series. So far. This one is a 19-book series. I would call this a Military SiFi series, and suspect Hicks has read Adrian Tchaikovskys Black & Gold Series as well as C.J. Cherryhs Downbelow Station. Something are immediately clear, such as, when Hicks writes about jump space and gravity wells. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. The story begins on a spaceship seeking planets that can be inhabited by humans. Upon finding a

Well done. I love first contact books, and this one took a different approach: an alien specie technologically far advanced over humans and not especially benign in their regard for lesser species.Well organized and written, but the plot--especially saving the cast she wants to advance--is a but too obvious and too dependent on favorable coincidences. The word "miraculously" is over used, but indicative of this problem.Sets up a series, this volume nonetheless manages to end neatly.

All I can say is WOW, just WOW! It has been a long time since I read sci-fi this wonderful and I wish I hadn't started reading it so late because I couldn't stop until I was finished, just before dawn. It was worth it. I loved the characters, both human and Kreelan, enough to feel sad when so many of both fell in battle. And what battles they were. The last series I started that made me so anxious to tear through to the last book was Outlander. Although of a completely different genre, I am

This was a prequel to the series In Her Name: Empire. While it set the tone and background for the human and Kreelan war in the Empire trilogy, most of it was very technical and I found myself skipping through the pages of techo-babble because it was beyond my interest and ability to understand. I found myself reading on though to try to understand the Kreelans but I seem to feel a bitter aftertaste for them when I was done with First Contact. I felt as if the Kreelans are a very self-centered
