First Contact: Book IV: The League of the Twelve (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798184481784)

Five years have passed since humanity survived the Superhuman Arms Race.

The Covenant has united nations once divided by fear. Enhancement technology has transformed medicine, science, and exploration. The League of the Twelve has become far more than Earth's greatest defenders-they are now ambassadors of a civilization stepping confidently into a new future.

Then the Archive awakens.

A signal buried within the ancient extraterrestrial library calls humanity beyond the Solar System, where an invitation awaits from a vast interstellar community that has quietly watched Earth for centuries. For the first time in history, humanity is offered a place among civilizations millions of years older than its own.

But acceptance comes with unsettling discoveries.

Entire worlds stand abandoned.

Ancient empires have vanished without explanation.

Hidden records reveal that the mysterious Hunters were never the architects of the Archive-they were only its guardians. Beyond the borders of known space lies a forbidden region erased from every galactic map, where even the oldest civilizations refuse to venture.

As Atlas, Dr. Elias Cameron, and the League journey deeper into the galaxy than any human has ever traveled, they uncover a truth capable of changing everything humanity believes about its place in the universe.

Because First Contact is not the end of the journey.

It is only the beginning.

Epic in scope, rich with scientific wonder, unforgettable characters, interstellar diplomacy, breathtaking discoveries, and profound questions about civilization, First Contact expands the League of the Twelve Saga into an unforgettable space opera where the greatest adventure is not surviving the stars-

-but proving humanity deserves to stand among them.

The galaxy has been waiting.

Humanity has finally arrived.
