Humanity’s distant stand against the Xul

Set in a universe largely conquered by the alien Xul, Star Strike begins with humanity surviving in the margins after the devastation of its home world centuries earlier. The United Star Marines operate as a near-autonomous force, defending Earth from across interstellar distances while pursuing a missing twenty-fourth-century transport. Their search carries them through an unexplored stargate and toward an unknown galaxy, where the possibility of resisting the Xul’s domination emerges. As the opening volume of the Inheritance Trilogy, the novel frames its conflict on a planetary and galactic scale, combining military operations, deep-space travel, and a long-standing struggle for human survival.

Planet by planet, galaxy by galaxy, the inhabited universe has fallen to the alien Xul.

Now only one obstacle stands between them and total domination: the warriors of a resilient race the world-devourers nearly annihilated centuries ago . . .

A power vast, ancient, and terrifying, the mighty Xul have lost track of the insignificant humans hundreds of years after devastating their home world--which has enabled the United Star Marines to operate unnoticed and unhindered. A near-autonomous intergalactic policing force, they battle in defense of an Earth they may not live to see again. Now, following the trail of a vanished twenty-fourth-century transport, they are journeying through an unexplored stargate to the edge of an unknown galaxy many light years from their sun. For the last, best, and only chance to defeat the tyrants of the universe may at long last be at hand . . .
