Kinship war, book 1

"Montana is a newly independent colony, home to both colonizing humans and the Xakalar, who are native to the planet. When deposits of an extremely rare mineral are discovered on the world, everyone's eyes focus on the small colony... and everyone wants a piece of the planet. Matt Chin (a human) and Xelarn (a Xakalar) have grown up like brothers on Montana and are trying to navigate the prejudices and tensions that outsiders are bringing to their colony. But this is the least of their problems. News from afar reaches the colony that there is a massive alien fleet attacking human colonies across the breadth of space... a fleet that seems to be controlled by aliens who look very much like the Xakalars that share Montana with the humans. Who is the enemy and who is a friend?"--p.4 of cover
