First Strike is the first book in an exciting military scifi series and there are cliff hangers!

Two factions at war.

A blinding light.

A new terrifying enemy.

In a world fractured by endless war and multiple factions, Earth is a battleground, torn apart by the brutal conflict between two powerful factions—the Coalition Forces and the United Alliance. Their struggle for dominance has led to an all-consuming war, with both factions locked in a deadly race to outmaneuver and outlast the other.

A blinding light changes everything.

It takes out a space station, leaving behind nothing but wreckage. Meanwhile, soldiers from both sides are killed in their tracks, their bodies falling to an unseen force.

Who is behind all this?

As both factions scramble to understand the true nature of the threat, they realize one terrifying truth—this is no ordinary threat. It’s something darker, something far more dangerous, and it has no allegiance to either side. Will both sides be able to uncover the truth? Or be consumed by the new enemy?
