Dark Days: An alien invasion opera

Maybe you can't go home after all, especially if your home has been blown to bits by aliens.   The same aliens that now have set their sites on Earth. After the stunning revelations in book one of the Earth's First series, Maura and her friends find themselves involved in all out war with the murderous race of aliens known as the Anisari. The universe conquering race, led by one of the most powerful aliens in the galaxy, has decided that they would rather destroy the Earth than leave it to humanity. Our intrepid band of adventurers can barely save their own skins, let alone the world. But fight on they must even though the odds are stacked against them... Dark Days is the second book in The Earth's First Series - a dark and gritty science fiction series with aliens, fantastic characters and lots of action. ________________________________ Praise for Earth’s First Series ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Flipping good read. Bought it not knowing anything about the author and by golly I'm glad I did. What an amazing story. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Exceeded all my expectations with a convoluted plot, nifty characters and lots of action.  ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The characters are well presented and sympathetic, the ""good guys"" are likable and the villains such as you love to hate. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The world she has constructed is full-bodied and nuanced and the science is absolutely fascinating.  ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Her people and characters very much human, yet superhuman enough to make us go ""wowsers!""  ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I enjoyed the aliens aspect.
