  • YASID about alien contact that almost destroys humanity

    From Lynn McGuire@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 30 18:31:01 2023
    YASID from

    "Hello, I read a book years ago and am trying to find it again.
    Here is the premise…

    Earth was starting to settle and explore far space.
    A species finds us and in no time almost eradicates us except for some far-flung pockets of survivors.
    The species takes over Earth and every place we have been.

    Over millennia the remaining humans breed a super species of earthlings
    (star kings?) who become so powerful they fight with the aliens and
    destroy them all.

    We then find out all this was planned by a far superior species who was fighting a war, that has been going on for many thousands of years and
    arranged all this, to develop a species of warriors to help them fight
    their war on the far side of the universe.

    I thought the first chapter started with “the star kings are gone” and
    then went into the story above."

    I do not remember anything like this.

    There's one substantial spoiling description by "Fred D" here <https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/5026857>
    with some differences. Maybe due to passage of time
    and to what each person chooses and don't choose to
    remember and to mention.

    "Comments are closed" (for me) at that Best Sci FI Books
    page - since 2016 - but the asker has a somewhat distinctive
    name to find online. They might have got the answer
    already - elsewhere.

    I think "Daryl" was looking for the secret of immortality
    in a Larry Niven story, but finding it and then him is
    more difficult.
