The First Formic War
Earth Unaware
A century before the legendary Battle School was built, humanity believed they were completely alone in the universe. People were slowly expanding outward from Earth, mining asteroids and establishing distant colonies in the deep reaches of the Solar System. Far out in the Kuiper Belt, the crew of the mining ship El Cavador is struggling with failing equipment, corporate claim-jumpers, and the challenges of deep-space survival. So when their sensors detect a massive, fast-moving object hurtling into the system at a fraction of the speed of light, it is easy to dismiss it as just another space anomaly. But they are dead wrong. This approaching vessel is not a comet or an asteroid; it is an alien ship, and it is heavily armed. As the terrifying reality of first contact sets in, the isolated crew of El Cavador must figure out how to warn a skeptical Earth. The First Formic War is about to begin, and humanity is completely unprepared.
