From bestselling author, Saxon Andrew comes the third book in the Watcher Series, Breaking the Covenant. Humans have finally stopped killing each other nine years earlier, elected a world government, and began moving toward peace and prosperity. The Watcher knows human have earned the right to be given stardrive technology to go out into the universe to find their destiny, however, were they really ready to do it? Could humans control their aggressive instincts and live in peace with alien civilizations? To make matters worse, the Revel had not shown up and their coming attack hung over Earth like a dark cloud. If he allowed humanity to go out into the stars before the Revel attacked, their ships would be in danger of destruction by Revel Warships. Charles also knew the issue of defending Earth was going to be a huge issue with the Covenant. If they ostracized him and his family, they would lose the use of the Construction Facility to build the starships Earth would need. The decision was clear on what to do. He would have to force the Revel’s hand and make them attack Earth. But first, he would have to Break the Covenant and be free from their restrictions. Humanity must learn what they would be facing out in the stars and the Revel were just the ones to teach them. But would the new technology protect Earth, or was all this just a moot point? The Watcher 3-Breaking the Covenant starts fast and picks up speed as humanity faces its future squarely head on as it tries to become a part of the millions of civilizations flying the universe. Survival is uncertain and before the Watcher frees them from the bonds of Earth, humans must be able to keep the aggressive demons inside them at bay. Excerpt: The Watcher 3 Charles turned to Dit and said, “You are also reluctant to free humanity. Why don’t you tell everyone why you are?” “You know why?” Dit responded. “It will be clearer if you tell them without my having to prod you to do it. Please tell them what will happen if we free humanity now,” Charles requested. Dit looked around the room and shook his head, “I believe the Revel are going to show up sooner than later. Bringing the additional warships back to Earth will probably be what brings them here, but you don’t want to send out ships before they arrive.” “Why not?” Merry asked. “Because once they home in on Earth’s location, they will be able to detect the residue of the stardrive left behind by Earth’s ships. They will know that those traces are being left by a new civilization that’s just moving out into the stars. That will tell them that new civilization is a good candidate to be conquered. They will also follow those tracks to the ships that made them and destroy them to determine their level of technology.” The room was silent, and Gregory said, “They won’t be able to track our new stardrive field.” Merry turned to Gregory and said, “I honestly hope you’re not suggesting we give humans that field.” “Why wouldn’t we?” Merry rolled her eyes and said, “You intend to give a species that has just learned how-to live-in peace with each other technology that would make their ships invulnerable. Humans have learned now to live in peace with each other, but they know nothing about co-existing with other alien civilizations. Before humans can go out into the universe they must learn that all life is important; not just human life.” “And just how do you intend to teach that lesson without allowing them to interact with other civilizations?” Gregory asked. “Humans have to see themselves for who they are and who they’ve been,” Charles remarked. Gregory turned to him and stared at him in silence. “And the way to make that happen is for them to see the Revel and recognize that they are very much alike.” Allison saw Gregory’s expression and said, “So, you’re willing to risk Earth being attacked by the Revel?” Charles sighed, “The Revel are going to find Earth. They need to do it sooner than later.
