First Contact: Lemurians

By Scott Ickes

FIRST CONTACT - LEMURIANS (Book One)
A Cold Awakening Shatters Humanity's Cosmic Dreams

Captain Robert Chris expected paradise.
Instead, he found a wasteland-and a hostile alien fleet waiting in orbit.

After decades in cryosleep, the crew of Discovery Vessel 129 arrives at Kepler-442, a world once teeming with promise. But the planet is scorched, its skies thick with radiation, and its inhabitants-called Lemurians-aren't just survivors. They're warriors. And they believe humanity destroyed their world.

Blindsided by blame for a forgotten war, Robert must navigate a dangerous first contact that threatens to become a galactic reckoning. As tensions rise and ancient mysteries surface, one cryptic phrase echoes through his mind:
"Infinity is the key."

Can the truth stop a war that began long before Earth launched its first starship?

Fans of M.R. Forbes, L.N. Chaney, and Michael R. Hicks will love this gripping space opera debut-perfect for readers who crave first contact, high-stakes diplomacy, and deep cosmic lore.
