Independence Day: Crucible is a 2016 science-fiction novel written by Greg Keyes which sets in between the events of Independence Day and Independence Day: Resurgence.
Publisher's Summary[]
Cities were crushed by the falling spacecraft—but one ship didn’t crash. It remained intact, and disgorged hordes of alien soldiers determined to fight to the death.
The abandoned vessels also contained a wealth of advanced technology. Led by David Levinson, the greatest minds of our world developed deadly new hybrid weapons. Bases were built on the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
A new generation of defenders had to be trained, for the invaders would return. In the headlong rush to prepare, however, not everyone would survive…
Plot[]
The novel focuses on the back story to Resurgence over a period of 20 years after the "War of 1996" and introduces new characters such as orphan Jake Morrison and tribe leader Dikembe Umbutu, whose ground battle in Africa reveals that aliens managed to land the only surviving city destroyer somewhere in the Congo during the initial attack. It also explains the after-effects of humans whose minds were hijacked by the aliens during the invasion, including Umbutu and President Whitmore. It also follows David Levinson's ascent to the head of the Earth Space Defense (ESD), Steve Hiller's son Dylan and his friendship with Jake and Patricia Whitmore, and Steve's untimely death caused by an accident while testing aircraft with alien technology designed by the ESD.
