Preons: alpha by Frederik T. Stevens
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Earth has been invaded and most of humanity falls in those initial days. What’s left is either scrambling for survival or gearing up to accept their new reality under Alien rule. David witnessed the slaughter of his two best friends and survived against the odds. He takes his chance at revenge against those who orchestrated it all and sets off along the galaxy, picking up dangerous allies and training himself to be stronger, better, and deadlier. He crosses paths with an alien named Hanla, who is herself on the run after she was framed for murder. Their chance encounter sparks the beginning of an alliance that can bring them both what they desire.
I was thankful that the romance was at a minimum here, the story is a well known trope in the SciFi genre, but the writing was well done and it did not feel as if I read the story before. It was a bit on the gorier side, and I imagine that David is not looking for sunshine and roses, revenge will come with entrails, blood, guts and gore.
