When They Arrived

By: Ansell, Emily

In the far future, humanity has spread throughout the cosmos. With sentient AIs and the allies made during First Contact, all thrived as they found and settled new planets together.

Then Second Contact comes, and with it, war. From a farm child seeing ships fly overhead, to a TV anchor breaking the news, to augmented resistance fighters on Earth, and electricians working on a fleet of ships as politicians bicker in the background, these are the stories of the people who were there. With perspectives from every species involved, each story shows us a different facet of the conflict as it unfolds over a decade and beyond. Through tragedy and triumph, this hopepunk, anthology-style novel will take you through the moments that define lives and change galaxies.

No one will be untouched by what happened WHEN THEY ARRIVED.
