The David Weber novel
- Eight F-22 Raptors obliterate Shongari starships on their way to land ground forces in a Curb-Stomp Battle. Even better? Since we Youtubed that shit, it inspired other resistance fighters to strike back on the invaders since the video showed that they can be killed and we got a chance.
- The Shongairi try to convince some Humans to operate their capture vehicles to fight for them. Naturally, many refuse. However, some agree only to escape from their captors and some even hop into the vehicle and steal from right under their noses.
- Shongairi troops close in on former Marine Rob Wilson and his injured brother in law Dave Dvorak plus his Springfield M1A rifle just ran out of ammo. So out of desperation, he shows the Shongairi a new way to use a handgun, or rather handguns. He doesn't miss a single shot and manages to get Dave immediate medical attention before he bleeds out.
- With the alien bastards able to strike with kinetic weapons, Humanity realizes that there is no way to win a war against such a foe. Do we give up? FUCK NO! Humanity decides that if this is their Darkest Hour, then they will take as many of them as we can to hell with us.
- Dracula and the vampires boarding the Shongairi ships and Thikar's Villainous Breakdown.
