The Xaros attacked Earth without warning. The Xaros attacked without mercy.
From the deep void, the Xaros came for humanity. Unfeeling, uncaring drones swept over humanity’s nascent presence in the outer Solar System. When word reached Earth…we weren’t ready. Only one man knew the truth of the threat and he was powerless to help anyone survive.
Strike Marines fighting through Los Angeles under assault by murderous drones. A fighter pilot determined to reunite with his family. Armor soldiers standing against the darkness. This is the story of the Fall of Earth.

A heart felt story. If you read the Ember series then you know from the begining how it ends. A powerful story of courage and sacrifice that needed to be told.
I have waiting for this book for 8 years and I feared it would never come but here it is. book closes the door on the first ember war series. highly recommended
I've been away from the Ember Wars for a while now, as it wandered off from the core story and characters several books ago, and that didn't really hold my attention.
The events of this book have been mentioned in the main sequence of EW books and we had a pretty good idea of what happened, but no details.
Probably a good thing, as this can't have been an easy book to write. It spoils nothing to tell you that everyone in this book dies. EVERYONE. While it wasn't the most fun thing I've read, it was well done and the pacing was very good.
I'm split on whether I'd recommend this to someone as 'book zero' in the Ember Wars, but it could work. That may have been the author's plan, to draw eyeballs back to the original series, but what do I know?
A modern day War Of The Worlds that will leave you turning pages into the wee hours of the morning. A perfect balance of human drama and sci fi action that will evoke emotions of anger , empathy and adrenaline. The battles are epic as only Richard Fox can create. Reading this will only leave you craving more. Good thing there is the Ember War series to scratch that itch!
Great book loved the story and the book narration love the book series going to listen to the first book again I highly recommend it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍😃👌👍😀 this is the second time I have listened to it 👍😀highly recommend it
