First Contact: Cimmerians

By Scott Ickes

The greatest science fiction stories expand your imagination. Very few expand your understanding of what's possible. First Contact: Cimmerians does both.

Throughout the First Contact series, every discovery has challenged humanity's understanding of the universe. In Cimmerians, those discoveries begin revealing something even more extraordinary. Ideas that once seemed impossible start becoming understandable. Ancient mysteries expose hidden principles connecting civilizations, technology, and reality itself in ways no one could have imagined.

As the Alliance struggles against an enemy that grows stronger by corrupting the deepest forces of existence, humanity discovers that understanding is the greatest power of all. Every breakthrough strengthens those who seek to build. Every corruption strengthens those who seek to conquer. For the first time, the greatest battles are fought not only with ships and weapons, but with knowledge, perception, and the ability to understand reality itself.

Nothing in First Contact exists simply because it's convenient to the story. Every civilization, every breakthrough, every alliance, and every revelation is connected. Mysteries that have been quietly unfolding since humanity's very first encounter with alien life begin converging in breathtaking ways, rewarding readers who enjoy watching an intricately connected universe reveal itself one discovery at a time.

You don't need a physics degree to enjoy any of it. The science fuels the adventure instead of slowing it down with technical jargon. Whether you're drawn to unforgettable characters, epic fleet battles, fascinating alien civilizations, intelligent world-building, or discoveries that continually reshape everything you thought you understood, First Contact rewards your curiosity with every chapter.

By now, you've learned that every answer changes the questions. In Cimmerians, the answers themselves begin coming together. Extraordinary abilities reveal a common foundation. Ancient mysteries begin connecting. What once seemed impossible becomes understandable, while entirely new possibilities emerge just beyond humanity's reach.

Some discoveries reveal hidden truths. The greatest discoveries reveal how everything has always been connected.

And that's only the beginning. The twelve-book First Contact saga is only the foundation of a much larger universe. When the saga reaches what appears to be a breathtaking conclusion, the journey takes an unexpected turn and continues in First Contact: Echoes of Virelia, an all-new twelve-book sequel filled with new civilizations, astonishing discoveries, and mysteries that reach far beyond anything you could have imagined when you began your journey.

If you've been searching for a science fiction universe you can truly lose yourself in, your journey continues here.
