The First Salik War is a military science fiction trilogy by Jean Johnson. Set in the same universe as her Theirs Not to Reason Why series, it takes place at an earlier point in the timeline and covers humanity’s first major conflict with the Salik, a hostile alien species.

The trilogy includes The Terrans (2015), The V’Dan (2015), and The Blockade (2016). Johnson balances large-scale interstellar diplomacy and warfare with the personal stories of the people caught in the middle of first contact gone wrong.
