CATCH-UP GUIDE

Expeditionary Force

By Craig Alanson

Earth has been secretly conquered and liberated — sort of. Now a small crew aboard a stolen alien ship, led by a barely-qualified soldier and an insufferably sarcastic AI named Skippy, has to figure out how to actually save humanity. These catch-up guides are written for readers returning to the series — or for newcomers who want to know what they're in for before committing to book one.

RE-READ IN PROGRESS
We're building these book by book from public research, notes, and final editorial review. Drafts stay out of Google until the editor has checked them against his own read-through.
