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.

    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.

    I really enjoyed this book. I don’t hand out 5 star ratings often. Before I was even halfway through this book I went and bought the entire series to make sure they didn’t disappear on me. I have a book of another series that I waited a while to read and now I’m not able to buy the rest. I didn’t want that to happen with this series. The author does a good job giving details about characters that obviously won’t last very long, could easily be vague characters you don’t know much about, but makes the story that much more interesting. Fun, exciting, and looking forward to getting to the next book.

  • Very riveting!

    Killed off main characters. Sad beginning. More a horror story. Downer. Won’t finish.
