About the story
For millennia, two galactic empires have been locked in an interstellar cold war. Newly discovered sentient species are expected to join one side or the other. In 2028, Earth is next in the path of expansion — with barely any space capability, no system defenses, and no allies.
There is no hope of effective resistance. No species has ever succeeded before.
Except humans have a saying. The best defense … is a good offense.
The Best Defense is a near-future SF web serial in the HFY vein: multiple POVs (humans, aliens, AI), near-future space concepts, grounded advantages rather than unstoppable OP humans.
Cover art by Cedar Sanderson.
