The Last War Before the Stars (Ebook)

War comes to Europe fast, and Simon Everett goes from a Somerset dairy farm to the French front in a single day. But the enemy isn't who the briefings say. In a ruined village, his squad finds a monolith that has opened like a coffin lid, and something that walks like a man but isn't. The invaders don't bomb cities. They copy them, person by person. And the only one who can stop it is the woman whose grief they built it from. THE LAST WAR BEFORE THE STARS is a fast, complete sci-fi war novella: conscripts, ruined French villages, analogue radios against alien code, and a squad of four who refuse to be replaced.
