Humans, aliens, and dragons. Who will inherit the galaxy?

They said aliens didn’t exist, until they landed on the White House lawn.

They said dragons didn’t exist, until they arrived in the galaxy . . . To turn it into cosmic dust.

A new threat from beyond the galaxy rim has emerged, taking the lives of humans and aliens across the Milky Way. They look like dragons. They sound like dragons. They burn our cities like dragons . . . and apparently our spaceships too.

Captain Rebecca Foster is no stranger to saving the galaxy from mythological beings that shouldn’t exist but do. Dealing with dragons from beyond the galactic rim is a task she and her crew are more than qualified for. The new Earth government, however, disagrees, and sends the Marines instead, grounding Rebecca and her crew until further notice.

And then things don’t go according to plan . . .

Salvation for the galaxy now lies in the hands of Rebecca’s ability to get back into the captain’s chair and show the galaxy how you slay dragons with 22nd century weapons and technology. Before the dragons slay us.

Science-fiction and fantasy collide with explosive results in this action-packed adventure set in the Splintered Galaxy universe.

Great start to the series looking to the other books in this series, lots of room for incite into the characters and further information about the reason for the attitude of the Draconians.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unique and exciting
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2018
This was my first "Splintered Galaxy" book, and I was blown away. Dragons in space? With aliens and humans? It sounded a little implausible to me, so I had to read it and find out if the author could pull it off. The answer is a resounding "Yes!" The story is unique and exciting, and the characters are colorful and well-developed. I was a little confused at the beginning because I had not read the preceding series, but it didn't take me long to catch up and become engrossed in the story. I am looking forward to the next book.

I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy

4.0 out of 5 stars The Carl Sagan and new enemies
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2018
Celestial Incursion is the first book in the Edge of the Splintered Galaxy series. While you can read this as a standalone, I highly recommend that you first read the Splintered Galaxy series as this storyline will make much more sense with that background. There is a lot of violence...this is a war in both space and on land as enemies fight each other. Much of this book is spent trying to determine what happened to Rebecca Foster and the crew aboard the Carl Sagan after they disappeared. Who would have thought to bring dragons into the mix in a SciFi novel? It is an interesting concept. I can't wait to read the next book!

5.0 out of 5 stars a great start to a new series
Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2018
A cool book that starts a new space opera in the Splintered Galaxy. I thought it was a great space opera that had action, space battles, sleep ins and dragons. I thought the main characters were great and easy to like and root for. I liked the touch of mystery too. Just a great story line that caught my attention from the beginning and kept me reading until the end. A few questions raised in the beginning were answered by the end but not all. Hints to answers were dropped too just to keep me reading and wanting the next book to see what happens next. I have to say Foster's crew have a lot of luck in this book but by the end I was thinking its good to have since they will need it. I received an advance copy and chose to review because I thought this was a great space opera story set in an amazing galaxy that kept me reading to see what would happen next. Plus do not forget the dragons.

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't Start With This Book
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2018
I got this book free for review so I began reading it as soon as I got it. That proved to be a mistake because while this is book one of a series it is book 1 of a new series in an already established universe. By reading this book before reading any of the others I kind of spoilered myself. Don't make the same mistake I did. Read the other books first. people will tell you that this book can be a standalone or the other books don't need to be read to enjoy this book, but those people are lying to you. Trust me and read the other books first.

So anyway, it's a space opera with dragons. Dragons are real. Aliens are real. Dragons are aliens who have come to destroy us. The government sends in the armed forces, but the story follows Rebecca Foster and the crew of the Carl Sagan. Rebecca is an established character. I don't know much about her. I started with this book. I guess she was awesome in the other books...

Fast paced, gritty, not for kids. This is an interesting take on sci-fi, but in the end, I like my dragons where they belong, in fantasy settings.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wild and fun ride
Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2018
Dragons and aliens, oh my! Eddie R. Hicks is definitely a pro when it comes to highly adventurous epic scifi. That’s certainly demonstrated in his Celestial Incursion, the first book in his new Edge of the Splintered Galaxy series. What a wild ride Captain Rebecca Foster goes on, well written, perfectly plotted and with a great cast of characters. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises - the book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, it is easy to highly recommend. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars It gives a whole new meaning to "sleep-ins".
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2018
An intense, action-packed story with a plethora of species just beginning to trust each other when a new attack occurs. The story as a wonderfully creative and twisty plot, and is peopled with great characters. It has a timeline and explanation of the characters by species, in case you haven’t read the previous book so it can stand alone, but is a bit less confusing at the start if you have read the other book. Truly engaging. This is my hones, voluntary review of an advanced readers copy of this book.
