Ok... I started this picture long time ago, I tried to refine it a bit. But I chose to NOT color it mostly due feeling I could further mess-up a picture that I think started as a nice idea. So enjoy it B/W xD
It is a fan-art directly took from the first book of "Worldwar" series. It feature a race of reptilian aliens invading earth during the middle of Second World War.
As you may expect, human nations put aside the main conflict to focus on the invasion.
It is quite interesting that the series follow MULTIPLE point-of-views including humans of different nations and also the point-of-view of multiple aliens (they're known as "The Race").
This is a quite powerful scene in the first book: the diplomatic meeting between Atvar (leader of the Invasion fleet, on the left) with none else than Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov. (yep: the series incude lots of historical characters).
Here in particular we have a furious Atvar in front of a defiant Molotov (especially once he learned how the Soviets killed their "former emperor", the Czar. The Aliens are an imperialist race with religious worshipping for the emperor). And Molotov finally giving a "Nyet" to Atvar demand of surrender.
It is quite significant that Molotov spoke for most of the humankind here (previously Atvar met the Nazi negotiation Ribbentrop, but he was so sick of space-travel that the meeting appears to have been meaningless).
Comments and opinions are extremely welcome ^^

Oh gosh haha it's so cool! I don't think there is much of that within the fandom xD
And while i am/was quite terrible at drawing i've done only a second tiny pic related to the series that made me somewhat more happy with the final result that's here (just don't read the other comments because there are some spoilers in the talks): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/24555001/
A little "comparison" with another scifi series with anthro alien invasors coming from another book xD

Well.. i know he was also the ghost writer of the original star wars novels haha
Anyway, Quozl is a single-book and quite interesting! Just the cover-book showing the titular series it's uh... well, not nice haha. Kinda show them as weird monkey/lemurs with goofy foots while in the book is quite clearly stated they have more rabbit-like features and are likely kinda-digitigrade because are shown as fast-runners.
Commissioned an OC some years ago: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/27700488/ (just forgot to tell the artist they have some extra fingers at hand xD) https://www.furaffinity.net/view/32860780/
Anyway, unrelated but i strongly suggest you some more pure-furry Sci-Fi series: the books co-written by Rick Griffin and Gre7g Luterman (technically it's an open-world setting, there is also an anthology with other authors contributing). It's an all-anthro species setting with some peculiar stuff (as for widespread lack of clothing in most species)

To be fairly honest i don't recall the series "books by books" but "plotline by plotline" with some characters being quite uninteresting to me while other are powerful strong. The final books have some nice scenes and moments i appreciated (first and foremost the ones with members of the Race or peculiar interactions with humans)
