For fans of Reddish Growing, Starship Troopers, and Ender’s Video game shows up an explosive, epic science fiction debut…

We never saw them coming.

Whole cities disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only dust and rubble. When an alien competition came to make Globe theirs, they brought with them a weapon we had no way to combat, a universe-altering power referred to as thelemity. It seemed nothing could stop it-until we found out we could wield the power too.

Five hundred years later, the planet earth is locked within a grinding war of attrition. The talented few with the capacity of twisting thelemity to their will are trained in elite armed service academies, destined for the front lines. Those that refused to aid the war have already been exiled to the wilds of the ruined Earth.

But the enemy’s strategies are changing, and Earth’s defenders are about to discover this centuries-old battle has only just begun. As a terrible fresh onslaught looms, heroes will rise from unlikely quarters, and fight back.
