The Ember War Saga	comment	The Ember War Saga is a science fiction series of novels by Richard Fox, currently consisting of 30 novels, including nine novels of the main series and multiple spin-offs. The series focuses on humanity's attempts at surviving extinction following a devastating alien invasion that wipes out the vast majority of the population.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In the early 21st century, a probe sent by a coalition of alien races arrives to the Solar System in an attempt to head off the unimaginably vast Xaros armada that moves from one star system to another, wiping out all traces of sentient life. The probe's AI scans the internet and decides to try to help humanity after finding a research paper written by a college student named Marc Ibarra. The probe lands and contacts Ibarra, explaining the coming threat and telling the young man that they only have 60 years to do what they can to save humanity from extinction. The reason the probe chose Ibarra is because he figured out a cheap way to manufacture graphene, which is key to the probe's plan.Six decades later, the world is in the middle of another cold war between the Atlantic Union and China. The Ibarra Corporation is almost a nation in itself. The corporation is putting together a large mission to colonize Saturn's moons and requests the the Atlantic Union's space navy provide escort to their transport ships in the event the Chinese decide to make good on their threat to stop what they claim is an illegal venture. All transport ships, as well as the escort fleet, have been modified with slip-coil engines, the latest development by the Ibarra Corporation that appears to be a modified Alcubierre drive. According to the corporation, the slip-coil will shorten the trip to Saturn considerably. However, when the probe detects the arrival of the Xaros armada to the edge of the Solar System, it convinces the aging CEO Marc Ibarra to enact their secret plan and activate the slip-coils early. Just as the Chinese attempt to attack the civilian ships, the slip-coils engage, and the fleet finds that things aren't what they used to be. Earth looks devastated, and not a single radio signal can be detected. Each ship receives a pre-recorded message from Marc Ibarra, explaining that the slip-coils were never meant to send the fleet to Saturn. They were meant to hide the fleet from the Xaros in a pocket universe for 30 years. Essentially, they were Ibarra's attempt at building an Ark. His hope was that the Xaros would move on after wiping out humanity, leaving behind only a token force to erase all traces of human existence. Even then, the token force may prove to be too much for the fleet to handle. Another key piece to Ibarra's plan is his granddaughter Stacey Ibarra, who enlisted in the space navy under the alias Stacey Faban.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

The Ember War Saga / int_4c4d0ee1	type	Alcubierre Drive
The Ember War Saga / int_4c4d0ee1	comment	Alcubierre Drive: This is what the slip-coils ostensibly are. Supposedly, they were to cut the months-long journey to Saturn down to just a few days. In reality, they hid the ships in a pocket universe to wait out the arrival and departure of the Xaros armada, which took about 30 years. Only a moment passed for those in the bubble.

The Ember War Saga / int_fd41610f	comment	China Takes Over the World: By the late 21st century, China has been on the path of aggressive expansion, taking over much of Asia despite the resistance by the western powers. It has not only become powerful militarily, but it also seems to have the best cryptography in the world, allowing them to easily hack Atlantic Union computers, forcing AU to often forego using their more advanced tech in favor of the analog options.
