The enormous silver alien ships appeared over Inoria without warning, raining death and destruction on the city below.High above the planet, the ISC Fleet Destroyer Liberty's Captain made his determination clear despite the odds: "We're staying. We're fighting. Understand?" His young and understaffed Bridge crew nodded bravely and went back to their tasks, fear crawling up their throats, escaping through some eyes as tears. His own fear was not much less than theirs. Earth's first space combat, he thought, and here I am, outnumbered six to one.Meanwhile, the hellish anti-personnel darts falling on Inoria missed Ensign Carol Hansen by mere centimeters, but her friend and SFU classmate Marty Baker was not so lucky. Amidst the choking smoke and dust of what a moment before was an idyllic place, the Liberty crewmembers lucky enough to have been in the city and not aboard ship, struggle to find each other and some measure of safety.Once the immediate danger is past, the survivors, and the ISC Fleet are faced with the daunting task of finding, and fighting, an enemy they know nothing about.A reviewer in the UK says "The book kicks [off] with great pace and draws you in to the universe he has created, great characters and [well] written action scenes loved the whole way the story develops as you read..."There's plenty of action, but it's well seasoned with background and characters you'll care about. "You may shed a tear or two…" another reviewer said.So, if you’re looking for an "Outstanding story with a believable plot" then this book is for you.

It's been just six months since the unprovoked, brutal attack on Inoria that killed tens of thousands. The enemy has paid a price in the deep-space skirmishes since but seems in no mind to retire. But, what, in fact, is the enemy mind? What, in the end, do they want? Carol Hansen and her Antares shipmates are going back to solve the mystery they found at Beta Hydri, taking a retinue of academics with them. David Powell survived Sigma's battle, dragging that battered ship to safety. Now promoted and on Columbia with his old friend Dan Smith in command, a new role, indeed, a new life, begins for him.Joanne Henderson's Intrepid continues its silent mission among the nearby stars, while Natalie Hayden and Ben Price begin to find connections beyond what happens inside a Sentinel.But back at Fleet HQ, there is growing frustration about how to run a war when a light-year-per-day just doesn’t seem nearly fast enough.

This is the tale of Caitlin, the third Princess of a royal family destined to be absolutely useless, or so she thinks. Upon reaching 'maidenhood' she finds that her destiny is very different and is set on a collision course with the Queen, her mother, who she now discovers is actually a pretty good role for any aspiring 'wicked witches' out in the Queendom.She needs to find her twin brother and claim the throne foe herself.
