The Death Filament: Some Places Should Be Avoided

Number one bestselling author, Saxon Andrew presents the next book in the Filament Universe. The forces from the Combined Planets have defeated the Tronan Warships sent to investigate the disappearance of one of their vessels. However, the cost was high, the planet Heaven was destroyed. Now the thousands of survivors have resettled on Bellingham and know that the size of the next Tronan investigation would not be just a few hundred warships.Admiral Embree’s Fleet has been sent to hold position just outside Tronan Territory to give advanced warning of the next invasion and time was growing short for the Combined Planet’s forces to build enough forces to take them on. It’s estimated they have three or four years before the Tronan respond to their lost squadron.But building enough warships to take on the most dangerous vessels ever seen is a daunting task. Only vessels coated in Bellingham's impenetrable metal will be able to stand up to the Tronan Warships and constructed enough in time before the Tronan arrive just isn't possible..Sam Oliver has been placed in overall command of the Combined Forces Military and he knows time is not on his side. This time the Tronan were coming and he expects them to be bringing their giant warrior transports with them. Planets were going to die unless something changed. Gregor is tasked with stopping any invasion of a planet but his forces will be heavily outnumbered and building the transports to move them cannot be completed in time.The giant filament that ran from the Tronan Empire to the Combined planets was named the Death Filament. Death was coming on it and making sure it was the Tronan that died just didn’t look like it was remotely possible.The action picks up as Sam and his fellow Warriors of the Sword are faced with the reality of a universe filled with Tronan Warships above all civilized planets. Would Bellingham be the only refuge from the onslaught? The ‘Stories From the Filament Universe’ continues and will be hard to put down.Excerpt from The Death Filament:The Second looked at the data being sent from the Doggets and contacted the Fleet Director, “The Doggets have detected a large electronic signature emanating from the other side of the central star.”“What?”“We’re not able to see what is causing it but my Science Director says it’s strong enough to be coming from a planet.”“Send Doggets out to confirm it,” the Fleet Director ordered.“The filament ends on this side of the star, Fleet Director, and the Doggets would have to leave the filament and fly over or below the star to see what’s on the other side. That would take at least two days at their maximum speed. Are you willing to delay our attack that long?”The Prime Director interrupted their conversation, “No! You will destroy that fleet and then go after the planet!”The Fleet Director looked at his Second and said, “You have your orders.”The Tronan Fleets moved in toward the large fleet of warships, erupted from the filament and went to full speed in normal space. The fifteen-thousand warships they were rushing in on launched a massive missile barrage. The Second ordered, “Fire all blasters!”The Tronan Fleet flew at high speed into the oncoming wave of missiles and then the wave of missiles hit the edge of the Tronan blaster coverage. The trillium tipped missiles caused gigantic explosions and the leading edge of the Tronan formation flew into the explosions. Eight hundred Tronan Warships were blown apart. The Second yelled over his communicator, “ALL SHIPS STOP!”Review: Soul of the Swords:5.0 out of 5 starsGood job Mr. Andrew!Format: Kindle Edition|Verified PurchaseI took a chance with Gregor's Run and was sorry it ended. Bellingham was a beautiful backdrop to the tale. Then Soul of Swords turned out to be a wonderful and surprising discovery; it is a sequel to Gregor's Run.Contact me at saxonandrew@msn.com I'd appreciate your feedback.
