The stars held more than humanity's future...

...they revealed an alien menace that could end it all.

First contact wasn't peaceful. The Zodarks, brutal and unrelenting, tore into the Republic's defenses. Armed with cunning and unquenchable bloodthirst, the four-armed warriors dominated over every adversary.

Amid the chaos, Ripley Willis Lee, a young officer with a brilliant mind for strategy, rose to face the challenge. His courage and determination inspired those around him, but the burden of leadership grew heavier with every battle. During the invasion of Intus, his decisions would mean the difference between survival and annihilation.

The battle for Intus would decide more than victory.

Would humanity survive the trials of the stars-or succumb to them?

The Intus Invasion is the gripping first entry in a new series set in the Rise of the Republic universe. If you crave high-stakes battles, dark revelations, and the fight for humanity's survival, this is your next great read.
