Earth Must BE Stopped

2018

Fifty-colonies were founded hundreds of years ago, after Nordstrum Haladay discovered Phase Field technology. Millions of Colonists left Earth to escape the incessant wars, famine, and over-population plaguing the planet. Earth regressed to a primitive civilization after nuclear holocaust killed more than twelve-billion. They became little more than primitive farmers; blaming science and technology for the climactic nuclear war and abhorred all technology. The colonies were left to fend for themselves. Four-hundred-years after the war, the Colonies sent starships back to Earth to trade for the crops and forced an unfairly low price on the farmers. Earthlings came to detest the colonies and decided that technology might be needed for defense. Earth began evolving quickly and three-hundred-years, after the colony traders first arrived, Earth rivaled the colonies in advanced technology. However, Earth did not possess Phase Field Technology, and was held captive inside their Solar System for lack of stardrive technology. The colonies knew if Earth possessed a stardrive there would be reason to worry. The President of the Colonies’ Council has intel information that a scientist on Earth might be close to developing a working Phase Field Stardrive and felt that Earth must be stopped! The Assassins Guild was contracted to eliminate the scientist and all those working around him to prevent the discovery of a stardrive. The Assassins Guild kills millions of citizens in the colonies every year and receives billions in payment. This contract would be the most difficult ever accepted by the Guild. The assassins will take on the daunting task of blending in with Earth’s population, being forced to operate on a planet they are completely unfamiliar with while avoiding Earth’s formidable Security Forces. The top two ranked assassins are chosen for the contract and don’t know what lies ahead. The twists and turns in this full-length novel at 94,000 words will keep you guessing at what’s coming next as you keep turning the pages to find out.

Defending the Colonies

2018

The Aliens invading the colonies have called off the general invasion. It appears another civilization has been discovered scouting them and their fear has led them to send their major fleets to the Large Magellanic Cloud to find out what threat this civilization poses. The six colonies that have been previously invaded will remain under the alien's control while this issue is resolved. The Colony Fleet is helpless to remove the invading warships and unable to defend the colonies that have fallen under their control. The colonies have no defenses and things look bad. However, there are tens of thousands of assassins on the invaded planets and they’ve been offered payment for each alien they’re able to kill. The aliens are feeling confident but are about to discover that the assassins have them right where they want them. Earth knows that there is no civilization scouting the aliens. One small Earth ship managed to destroy one of the alien’s giant warships and they assumed there had to be more of them in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Something must happen quickly to convince the aliens they’re being scouted or their giant fleets will turn on the colonies and Earth; neither are prepared to take them on. Three small warships are quickly dispatched to the LMC with orders to deceive the aliens into believing they are under attack from an advanced civilization. It sounds impossible, but the three ships are under the command of one of the Guild’s highest-ranked assassins. The impossible odds don’t bother Adam Talent He vows to live or die defending the colonies. The action starts fast and doesn’t slow down in The Assassins Guild, Defending the Colonies.

Last Man Standing

2018

Earth and the Colonies are in a fight to the death against the Brotherhood’s civilization in the Andromeda Galaxy and, to make things worse, an advanced civilization called the Cyrens has threatened to attack the new colonies settled in Andromeda if Earth’s fleets don’t start attacking the Brotherhood’s forces. Up till now, Earth’s warships have managed to remain undetected by the Brotherhood’s fleets but that was over; Admiral Talent is being forced to initiate attacks against the Brotherhood or run the risk of the new colonies being destroyed. Earth only has twenty-one Sha Class warships in Andromeda and they are heavily outnumbered by the Brotherhood warships and Berserker's. The Cyrens have stated they will delay attacking the new colonies until the Brotherhood has been defeated but offer no assurances they won’t attack the colonies once that’s done. If, by some miracle, Earth manages to defeat the Brotherhood then the Cyrens might attack the colonies anyway. Earth is in the untenable position of having to fight the Brotherhood without defeating them until some means of taking on the Cyrens’ giant warships is discovered. To complicate matters, the alien civilizations attacking the Brotherhood for invading their planets are a clear threat to attack Earth’s warships if they discover humans are flying them. They’ll be lumped in with the Brotherhood and it will be Earth against every civilization in Andromeda. Things couldn’t get much worse...or, could they?
