{{Infobox book
Expanded from a short story of [[David Weber]] that first appeared in [[George R. R. Martin]] and Gardner Dozois's anthology ''Warriors'' (2010), this trilogy kickoff blends elements of military science fiction and {{spoiler|dark fantasy}}. In the very near future, Earth has been targeted for colonization by a galactic empire known as the Hegemony. Deemed "lunatic local sentients" by a survey team that witnessed [[The House of Plantagenet|King Henry V]] and his troops [[Hundred Years' War|slaughtering the French at Agincourt]], humankind has essentially been written off as [[Barbarian Tribe|bloodthirsty, backwater barbarians]] that no one will particularly miss. It's [[The End of the World as We Know It]]. Technologically superior, carnivorous, [[Intelligent Gerbil|canine-analog aliens]] have [[Alien Invasion|invaded Earth]] with the intention of killing most of us and enslaving the rest.▼
