Into the Light (Out of the Dark #2)

Into the Light by David Weber and Chris Kennedy is the sequel to Out of the Dark - a military science fiction about Earth being invaded and the rebuilding after the war. 

After the war with the Shongairi, Earth must rebuild. Many need the basics - food and shelter - after the loss of so many cities around the globe. A new government must be set up partly to allocate resources and to protect people from those taking advantage of the chaos. The technology that the Shongairi brought will make rebuilding faster than it would have been after a human war. 

The characters who lead the fighting in the first book must pivot to what their skills can be used for now. Dave Dvorak, Governor Howell, Abu Bakr and others will do what they have to do to make sure the Earth is never again in such a vulnerable position. 

Weber created a military science fiction plot that highlights the strength of humans to never give up. The aliens who have a very different sort of logic had no idea what they were in for! This is a great read for scifi fans.
