Earth-locked humans get paid a visit by an alien bearing space gifts and an ominous warning, Genocide be afoot and you be its target … PREPARE!
What follows is a hurried development phase to create weapons to give Earth a chance and a battle plan that is so ludicrous it just might work! nah, whose kidding who?
Very good character development along with the creation of various commands, most from a regular military command structure and one covert unit working behind the scenes.
A good first book and looking forward to the follow-on episodes.
