The colonists that settled Britannia fled from Earth more than sixteen thousand years in the past. They found a habitable planet and erased everything in the colony ship’s data banks about Earth in the hopes that none of their descendants would ever attempt to find mankind’s home world. Now, thousands of years after Britannia was settled, a war is looming between the Union and Coalition. Captain Grady Henricks is given a secret mission to discover how a small scout ship’s hull survived destruction from powerful blaster beams that destroyed everything but the hull. However, time is running out for Grady to finish his mission; the Coalition is becoming more aggressive and the war is going to kick off before Grady can complete his assignment. During his mission, Grady discovers that the scout wasn’t attacked and destroyed by Coalition warships. An alien civilization has found Britannia and it quickly becomes clear that not only is the Union threatened by the Coalition but all of Britannia is in danger of being attacked by the aliens. War breaks out and the aliens decide to strike in the aftermath. The Fight for Britannia is on and it appears that the humans living on Britannia don’t have long to live. Grady is forced to do something that the original colonists prayed would never happen; he goes in search of an ancient planet that might be able to save the remaining humans on Britannia. Earth must be found and quickly.

Thousands of years in the past, three colony ships, the Britannia, Australia, and America, fled from Earth to escape dictatorial rule and a coming nuclear war and set out to find habitable planets for settlements far from Earth. The planet the Britannia Colony Ship settled has been destroyed by an advanced alien civilization. Its cities were laid waste and burned to the ground by orbital bombardment from a thousand alien warships. Many of Britannia’s survivors were moved to, Melbourne, the second colony which was founded by the Australia, but many chose to remain behind; they died when the aliens returned a year later and killed every one still alive on the planet. Grady and Taffy Henricks, along with Rory and Abby Dunhan, are committed to distracting Earth and the aliens from discovering Melbourne’s location. For over two years they have been using two small advanced warships which Grady developed to harass their enemies and keep them fighting against each other. However, the aliens have discovered Earth’s location and the war between them is taking on a new direction and intensity. The coming confrontation is going to be cataclysmic. The whereabouts of the third colony ship, the America, has remained a mystery. No one knows where in the Milky Way it went or even if it survived; Grady Henricks intends to go and find out. There are two dangerous civilizations that could destroy Melbourne if either of them discovers its existence. The aliens that destroyed Britannia, as well as Earth, have huge fleets of warships that greatly outnumber the forces Melbourne has available to defend it; construction of new warships is currently the prime focus of their government. Finding America is going to make the situation even more dangerous.

Thousands of years ago, three colony starships launched from Earth to escape a powerful dictator and an impending nuclear war. Each starship found a habitable planet to settle and build a new free world for their colonists. However, the colonies Britannia and America were attacked and overpowered by advanced alien civilizations after thousands of years of peace. Fortunately, the third colony, Melbourne, managed to save some of the survivors hiding in the wilderness on Britannia before the planet was blasted from space. The population of America was later saved and taken to Melbourne during an elaborate plan that led to the two alien civilizations going to war. Now the final surviving colony of free humans is at risk of being discovered by the alien civilizations that destroyed both Britannia and America. The only thing keeping Melbourne safe is that it remains unknown and hidden to its enemies, but the Colonies’ computers are predicting the odds of that continuing are shrinking… quickly. Transferring populations to the newly established colonies has begun but time is running out and the aliens’ warships outnumber their forces by hundreds of thousands. If Melbourne is found, saving it will be next to impossible; even attempting to save it would certainly lead to the discovery and subsequent destruction of the new colonies. Humanity is faced with an impossible decision; should the colonies step aside and watch Melbourne’s destruction or will they choose Fighting for Melbourne instead. The survival of the last free humans is at stake and this will be a hard story to put down. The twists and turns in Fighting for Melbourne will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final pages. I’m hoping you will enjoy this story enough to share it with all your Sci-Fi friends.

The last of the three original colonies settled by mankind thousands of years in the past has been destroyed. Britannia, America, and Melbourne have all been attacked and destroyed by two aggressive, advanced alien civilizations. But the humans on Melbourne managed to escape and settle other colonies before Melbourne was found and destroyed. Now the colonies are hiding in the outer spiral arm of the Milky Way building up their defenses against the day when they can take on their attackers. Sixteen years have passed, and New Britannia and the colonies have continued to build up their forces without being discovered by their enemies. But one day, the time would come to confront their attackers. The challenge will be difficult; their enemies still far outnumber them and the only thing keeping them safe is remaining hidden. But sometimes, events can force one out of hiding. Fighting to save Humanity is one such event.

Eighteen years have passed since the Core Civilization was defeated; New Britannia and the Colonies are flourishing and their populations growing. Grady decides that it's time to go home to Britannia. The planet has recovered from the damage done by the Core Alien's attack and is ready to be resettled. The Henricks children will be graduating in a few months and there's nothing standing in the way of them going back home to the planet they were born and raised on. Thousands of the Britannia survivors will join them in the Home Coming. However, at the end of the war with the Core Civilization, Taffy neglected to share some information she was given by the scouts investigating the Stealth Civilization. It was a small omission but when it comes out, the plans for a Britannia home coming are thrown for a loop. Grady calls off the move to Britannia but sometimes going back home isn't an option. Things can have a way of forcing you to do what you planned anyway.

The Stealth Civilization in Andromeda is now at war with the Civilization from the Triangulum Galaxy. Meanwhile, Humanity is preparing to eliminate the two aggressive Core Civilizations that destroyed New Melbourne and New Britannia. Mankind is also going to confront the Civilization in Triangulum and stop them from invading the Milky Way once the Stealth Civilization is defeated. The only thing that needs to happen for humanity's attacks to kick off is for the Triangulum Civilization to destroy the Stealth Civilization in Andromeda. However, just before humanity launches its attacks, Taffy Henricks voices a concern she has about possible dangers to humanity that might be lurking in Andromeda. Suddenly, the possible existence of a highly advanced, dangerous civilization in Andromeda that represents a real threat to humanity has captured the attention of mankind's leaders and all attack plans are called off. Before anything can be done, Andromeda must be scouted and the possibility of a threat in that giant galaxy eliminated. What they discover in Andromeda is more mind boggling than anything they suspected. However, the real threat to mankind is much closer than Andromeda.

The Colonies innate paranoia of being attacked by other advanced civilizations didn’t only extend to alien civilizations but also included the two other civilizations inhabited by humans. With their increased military might, the Prime Minister decided to use his power to take control of the only two human governments still not members of the Colonies. He intended to be the ruler of all humanity and he started planning to accomplish that goal years earlier. Once again as throughout history, the most dangerous species to humanity was itself. Earth and Britannia were in the cross hairs of a coming Civil War and there was little they could do to stop it. They were heavily outnumbered by the Colony Fleets and time was running out.
