The First Protectors A Novel [Audiobook]

Both are shattered one starry night, when an alien ship crashes nearby. Out of the ship crawls the dying last member of a conquered civilization. It's been shot down by an extraterrestrial enemy, the vanguard of a ravenous force hunting for a new homeland. With its last gasp, the wounded alien injects Shepherd with a high-tech serum that gives him near superhuman powers.
Now, with a new body but a soul as fractured as ever, Shepherd becomes the reluctant leader of the human resistance against the coming invasion. With enemies on all sides, the man who couldn't bear the guilt of seeing one more friend die in battle now finds himself charged with protecting the entire planet.
