The Genellan Series — An Epic First Contact… Again and Again and Again
Earth is tired. Humanity desperately seeks new worlds to settle, new resources…a new beginning. But habitable planets are rare, and the galaxy is an unfriendly place. Humanity’s first contact with intelligence ends in a mysterious massacre.
Second contact—with different aliens—decades later, provides nearly the same outcome, but with one remarkably different result… Genellan, home to the cliff dweller civilization, is discovered, beautiful but unforgiving.
Lieutenant Sharl Buccari’s intrepid crew of survivors establishes a tenuous toehold on the wild planet, the third planet from the system’s star; but more importantly, they forge alliances with the masters of the star system—the Kones, denizens of the system’s ponderous second planet. And not soon enough—the Ulaggi have returned, a hyper-advanced race of huntresses that for centuries have ravaged the galaxy.
