When alien civilizations clash in war, you would not expect a prey species with short claws, blunt teeth, soft hides, and no natural hunting instincts to be a threat. But as one unique species of psychopathic Grass Eaters rises to the apex of the food chain and begins ruthlessly exterminating their peaceful neighbors, the dying carnivores ask: who can possibly stop this interstellar menace? This anti-cynical HFY sci-fi story reverses the usual predator trope, focusing on technology, military strategy, and a grounded, positive depiction of humanity. Includes space battles, POV-switching (including antagonists), and occasional slice-of-life that moves the story forward.
