The Exodus Rush
Book 1 of The Vethrak Requiem

Twelve years after the invasion, humanity is rebuilding with alien technology it barely understands. Then a signal reaches its first warships: survivors are still out there, calling into the dark.
For Kira Vance and the crews sent to investigate, a rescue mission becomes a question of what humanity is willing to risk for its own.
