Product Description

Product Description

For millennia before the bloody first encounter with humanity as told in FIRST CONTACT (In Her Name: The Last War, Book 1), the Kreelan race has been ruled by war. Countless civilizations have risen and fallen back into savagery, with total annihilation averted only by the warrior priests and priestesses of the ancient martial orders.

Near the end of the Fourth Age, a powerful warrior from a brooding fortress deep in the Great Wastelands began her bloody rise to power. Syr-Nagath, known as the Dark Queen, began a brutal war of conquest across the face of the Homeworld, secretly planning to destroy the martial orders and resurrect the dark ways of her race’s apocalyptic past.

What the Dark Queen did not anticipate was the birth of Keel-Tath, a child unlike any other. A child foretold in an ancient prophecy, who was destined to wield the powers of the ancient orders and unite her race.

A child the Dark Queen must kill, no matter the cost…

5.0 out of 5 stars In Her Name: From Chaos Born By Michael R Hicks 19 Mar 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the seventh book in the In Her Name series from Mr Hicks and when you think he must surely be running out of ideas he comes back just as strong as before.

In the previous books we discovered that the Kreelan were a female warrior race mysteriously linked through a mystical connection to their Empress and in some cases to each other. We learned that they were a technologically advanced race, however when engaged in battle they only used technology that matched their opponents, in the later books that was us, the Human Race, but in the eyes of the Kreelan, we were nothing more than animals to be exterminated or culled as we did not have the `soul' that they possessed. Millions of people on hundreds of planets were annihilated before those wars came to an end with the `one' who could save both races and so that should have been the end of it, sadly for us the followers of the In Her Name Series.

But, sneaky Mr Hicks had other plans, thank goodness. He has sat down at his PC/Mac or whatever he uses to write his books and in between fighting for control of the keyboard with his cats he has written a book that goes back in time on the Kreelan Home world. Hundreds of thousands of years, when humanity were still existing in caves, the Kreelans had existed and reached out to the cosmos.

We knew that all Kreelan Warriors were female and Hicks did inform us in one of the novels how this came about at the time that it did, but what we didn't know was how the Kreelans got to that point, and the epic tale that led up to the point of becoming a Female dominated race.

5.0 out of 5 stars O Boy what a story! 26 Mar 2012
By AnnieK
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have read all of Michaels previous In Her Name books and have been hooked. This book takes us back in the mists of time and tells us about a child that was born different and destined to be the First Empress if she survived the actions of the Dark Queen. The rich tapestry of Kreelan culture is all here in all its bloody glory.We learn a bit more about the Desh Kar whoes powers defy imagination and who play such a large part in the life of the Kreelan people.
Only trouble is there are loose end! I want to know what happens to various characters which seem to have a purpose for the unfolding future. Will they reach their goals or die in getting there.
Watch this space! I think that Micael is going to take us on one hell of a ride

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction to the trilogy 13 Jun 2013
Format:Kindle Edition
The story plot was clear. Description very good. Action sequences were excellent. Took some time to work out the psychic bond the aliens had when they went into battle. Overall,its not a bad sci-fi story with lots of war and gore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant 11 Jun 2013

Complete fiction but cleverly written and worth getting into the story about other worlds in the galaxy of stars that perhaps are as warmongering as ourselves
