"There is a time to weep and a time to mourn. For the CSV Lion of Judah, that time has not yet come. The war with the League of Sol ended in victory for the Terran Coalition. Major General David Cohen and his crew conclude their three-month goodwill cruise with one final FTL jump. But instead of returning home in a blaze of glory, the wormhole collapses and hurls them more than four million lightyears into the unknown. Stranding them in a distant galaxy. With dwindling supplies but buoyed by hope of a miracle, David follows the evidence to a nearby inhabited planet. After a disastrous first contact with the less advanced alien civilization, rival factions threaten the tenuous peace--and reignite a centuries-old genocidal conflict. Now David and the war-weary Lion must take up arms once again to head off a catastrophic event in hopes of unlocking an ancient technology's secrets. Before the chance to return home is lost forever."--amazon.com.

Reading this book during this troubled times was sometimes pretty hard. But that's what I love about Sci-Fi: you take a step back (or forwards) and can take a good look on our society, politics and international affairs. This book is heavy on religious topics, but it shows us that we can live alongside each other without fear. That we're stronger together than separate and that hate only ends in death and destruction. I'm quite impressed, tbh.
