Blackcollar
Timothy Zahn · 3 novels · 1983–2006
Timothy Zahn's Blackcollar trilogy, his debut work, follows survivors of Earth's underground resistance against the Ryqril, an alien empire that conquered the planet a generation earlier. The Blackcollars themselves are elite commando-agents trained before the invasion, presumed a spent, aging force until circumstances pull survivors back into action against their occupiers. The Backlash Mission and The Judas Solution continue the resistance's fight as the underground network is drawn deeper into interstellar politics beyond Earth.
