Military Sci-Fi meets Alien First Contact as the British Army Reserve squad uses the power of ancient alien technology to discover the way home in this all action, brilliantly paced and character driven sci-fi novel. Still struggling with his guilt, ex-War Hero Finn leads the remaining squad as they encounter the fallen Haven race on an advanced Space Station and Havenhome, the aliens’ home planet. Battling both inner and outer demons, Finn relies heavily on Zuri, the female gunner, and Smith, his deceased Corporal now AI, as they fight their way past the Haven who crave their old but powerful technology. In the midst of battle, revelations arise about the ancient Haven’s plans for humanity as tools for colonisation and with the horrifying realisation of how the current Haven race fell from their technologically advanced pinnacle, Finn and his team question their place in the Universe. Pitted against such huge odds, the squad use their newly acquired alien technology to survive on a hostile, high gravity planet where everything either wants to eat you or kill you, not caring which comes first. Aliens, they are more like us than you think.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you were the alien that makes First Contact? And what if the very people you've come to meet are on another alien's menu? Being eaten alive? Alien First Contact meets Adventure Sci-Fi as Finn, Zuri, Noah and Corporal Smith (deceased) face their most terrifying opponent yet as they land on a devastated, human-seeded planet for the first time. After leaving the dangers of Haven behind, the squad make planetfall on Bathsen, desperate for resources to keep their ship flying. On arrival, they are thrown immediately into an interspecies war, where the only winner will be the last one standing. As politicians struggle against their own prejudices in the face of complete annihilation, the squad take up arms to stand side by side with the human population as their land, cities and families are devoured by the relentless alien horde. With the team learning more about themselves and how far they are willing to go to help others, Yasuko, the ship's AI, finds her own purpose as she emerges from the Haven shackles on her capabilities to work alongside her human crew. Their determination to help brings together a disparate people, building hope in the wreckage of past mistakes. But the squad still face devastating life and death decisions, ones that will change some of them forever. And as thousands die, Zuri rises to the challenge amongst the city ruins, where the alien swarm descends to feed on the living and the dead. "Me and mine. We survive." Alien or human, don't get in Zuri's way. Zuri's War continues the Weapons of Choice Series.Review "Author Nick Snape raises the ante in his immersive military sci-fi series with Zuri's War, a first contact thriller that is equally thought-provoking and action-packed. Leaving the dangers of Haven behind, Zuri, Noah, Finn, and Yasuko find a horrific new enemy on a human-seeded planet, and they are quickly pulled into an interspecies war of epic proportions. The world-building on Bathsen is done beautifully, showing readers how 'humanity' could evolve on a separate path, while the three-dimensional characters of this tight-knit crew continue to deepen and strengthen. Neatly balancing action sequences, interpersonal plot development, and philosophical questions of extraterrestrial intervention, this entertaining and engaging series just keeps getting better."
