this is the beginning book of the Posleen War series. Sort of a shared universe thing, several authors contributing: Ringo, Tom Krattman, & Julie Cochrane.

Synopsis: Earth's leaders are approached by a galactic federation composed of pacifists who are having their bacon chewed by a newly arrived (200 years ago) aggressive species that has already beaten (and eaten) half of their worlds.

Earth is to be invaded in 4-5 years. the Federation will help with technology and such, but we'll have to be the fighters.

This first book in the series is the preamble and describes first the run-up to war and second the the first two off-earth encounters with the Posleen (reptilian centaur-like creatures) by Earth-troops specially equipped with alien technology.

I have others in the series as well and will post as I read them
