Prador Moon

The Polity Collective is the pinnacle of space-faring civilization, stretching from Earth Central into the reaches of the galactic void. However, peace is shattered when the Polity encounters its first alien life form: the Prador. These massive, hostile, crab-like carnivores immediately launch a brutal assault. As starships clash and entire space stations are overrun by brute force, the Polity is forced to rapidly retool its society for total warfare. The story follows the initial devastating defeats, the struggle to find an effective defense, and the personal battles of unlikely heroes fighting for survival.
