Scythian Dawn

An alternate Earth trapped in a perpetual Iron Age.
An alien ship on the way to destroy all cities.
One war band with the will to resist.

Whenever the Lesser Race called humanity dares to build cities, an alien apocalypse descends from the skies. It has happened before, leaving only the legends of toppled empires to tell the tale.

Unaware of the threat, the once nomadic Scythians have settled and built a capital. Arixa, leader of a war band called the Dawn, ranges the steppe in the city's defense. When a fateful encounter leaves her with knowledge that an alien race called the Jir will soon attack, there is no question of whether to resist. She must. The only question is how, when Earth's most advanced weapons are blades of iron?

Unaware of the threat from above, the once nomadic Scythians have settled and built a capital. Arixa, leader of a war band called the Dawn, ranges the steppe in the city's defense. When a fateful encounter leaves her with knowledge that an alien race called the Jir will soon attack, there is no question of whether to resist. She must. The only question is how, when Earth's most advanced weapons are blades of iron?

Arixa's will is also iron. The men and women who follow her are unafraid and eager to take Jir heads. Potential allies await who know something of advanced technology. Scythia will not fade quietly into the mists of oblivion. Beings on far-flung worlds will learn the name Arixa.

The Dark Age must end. A new Dawn will rise.

Scythian Dawn is unlike most space adventure series you've read. You won't find any "Johnny Rocketjock" characters out to win medals and impress the spunky princess (or the nerdy engineer). The Dawn takes what it wants and kills those who stand in its way. As the Fremen swept forth from humble desert origins to rule a universe, so does a galactic revolt begin on the steppes of Earth. The thunder of hooves will shake the stars. Saddle up!

Check out some praise for the series:

"I don't think I have read a series of books so absorbing as these... Once I start reading I can't put the book down." (The Moon of Sorrows)

"This story of a barbarian nomadic war band going against highly advanced aliens is fantastic. This is nonstop action packed entertainment."

"Red Sonja vs Mass Effect!"

"Lentz took an outrageous premise, barbarians taking on a space faring race... and made it not just plausible but realistic! In its own way."

"Not a dull moment at any point, never drags, kept me glued. I've just finished book 2 and going to immediately start book 3."

"Amazing story Liked it so much I bought a Kindle for sequels and similar."

"Really neat premise of the barbarians taking over an alien ship and going off to wreak havoc on the evil aliens. Fun read."

"I liked the way this author had you see the technology and science through the eyes of a savage... Instead of going on and on like some authors do about their tech and how it works..."

"Look no further for your next obsession!"
