      Now that’s a fun series! I hope we get more.

      Second/Third book spoilers

      Yeah so in the story the aliens pretend to want peace when humanity manages to get things into a standoff-situation.

      The aliens are still en route to earth, so to give them an ambassador of sorts, a female humanoid android is built for them to control remotely.

      However the second the standoff is resolved, the aliens take over the planet, and she is put in charge of earth. Her first order of business is to start wielding a katana with reckless abandon, followed by limiting living area and food supply to the point that only a fraction of the current human population can be supported, and then announces “guess some of y’all will starve, now fight each for food, you insects”.
