Synopsis

We hide in shadows. Our planet is lost. We are the last humans, and we must go home.

Two thousand years ago, aliens destroyed Earth. Our fleets shattered. Billions died. The last humans fled a burning planet, heading to the stars.

Today we are still refugees. Hungry. Afraid. Our enemies hunt us everywhere.

So we hide. On distant asteroids. In rundown space stations. In deep caves on frozen worlds. And we dream.

Of green hills. Blue skies. Golden fields. We dream of Earth.

And for the first time, we have hope.

A few of us, just a handful of brave souls, form the Heirs of Earth. We are humans who stand tall. Who fight back. Aliens call us terrorists. The humans we save call us heroes. We have starships, weapons, and warriors. We can bring humanity home.

Earth is far. We have not seen her in many generations. But we have not forgotten. Earth is our heritage. Earth is our birthright. We will return!

I powered through this book because I liked the concept. I’d describe it as pure space opera. The science didn’t matter as technology was mere scenery for the story. That’s space opera and it’s done well. What bothered me took a long time for me to articulate. The characters are all tragic and suffe......more

Excellent character development, good story, but the battle scenes were horrendous. Little or no planning before going into battle. I am not a military person, but even I could see the flaws in their method of attack. Spoiler alert. In the big climatic battle they attack through a well guarded wormh......more

This story is gripping and compelling: I finished it not too long ago, his characters are believable and the story line flows easily. We will see what books 2 brings us.......more
