The Human Commonwealth of Worlds had colonized their small corner of the galaxy for almost four centuries before an intelligent non-human species was encountered. The Commonwealth was a civilization at peace with itself, but it was all Humanity knew. Like many citizens of the Commonwealth, Robert MacGregor and his crewmates aboard the probeship William Bartram had come to believe Humanity was alone in the galaxy. And then they met the Leyra’an. In that encounter they found an unsettling mystery, for the Leyra’an were so similar to Humans that it defied both science and belief. But before the crew of the probeship can investigate this mystery, there is a darker and far more dangerous matter before them. Someone else met the Leyra’an first, and started a war. The Luck of Han’anga begins the story of how an age of peace and prosperity comes to a sudden and terrible end, and of how Humanity and its allies must fight to defend everything they are, or ever hope to be.
