Alien empires, locked in endless war, invade planet Earth. Humankind is backward and weak but it has a unique ability which could decide the conflict.
Aggressive and rapacious, the Pyroni Empire offers global power and supremacy to its Human allies in return for support. Their enemies, the Nakroni Empire, kidnap the G7 leaders and force them to make a dreadful choice: assist them, unite the peoples of Earth, become allies, gain access to advanced technology; or deny them and see all life on Earth destroyed.
As a new order is forced on the colonised Earth, its leaders are introduced to the Envoys - human/alien hybrids. Bred as go-betweens they are tasked with assisting Humanity; but whose side are the Envoys really on? Which Empire offers the best route forward for Humanity? Can the peoples and the leaders of Earth navigate the dangerous and tortuous path forward and avoid destruction? Can Humanity even survive?
Planets and species in life-or-death struggles, alien battle-cruisers, galaxy-wide politics and human special forces with ray guns - COLONISED is space opera on steroids, and also a darkly satirical take on the modern world. There has been nothing really like it since Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers.
