Jingle's Escape

2019

Humanity has colonized the Milky Way and hundreds of thousands of planets live in peace and prosperity. However, after a thousand years, a dictator arose in the core of the galaxy and took the name Rage Kahn. He secretly built a large fleet of warships and went out to conquer the galaxy; it took more than two-hundred years to finally defeat his forces. The Rager War finally ended, but the damage was done. Vast swaths of space around the core of the galaxy were blasted back into primitive existence and the rule of law disappeared. The surviving colonies in the core built up military forces to prevent any other planet from ever attacking them in the future. To enter the area around the core was extremely dangerous and it began to be called the Forbidden Wilds. During the Rager War, the colonies that were away from the galaxy’s core and were not affected by the war worried that the war would spill out into the rest of the Milky Way. A Central Government outside the core was formed and built a giant fleet of advanced warships to make sure none of the aggressive colonies in the core could threaten them. And that was how it remained for three hundred years. Until a young woman fleeing a warrant for her arrest fled the Union for the Forbidden Wilds. What followed would have a monumental impact on the uneasy truce in the Milky Way. The Forbidden Wilds-Jingle’s Escape is the newest novel by Bestselling Author, Saxon Andrew. Jingle hoped fleeing to the Forbidden Wilds would raise her pulse rate…she got much more than she bargained. She had a knack for causing trouble but even she would have never believed she would prompt a new galactic war.

Crossing the Styx

2019

The dangerous alien civilization in the Styx Nebula has finally brought all of humanity back together. The civilized planets in the Wilds and Union have combined forces to prevent the aliens from coming out of the Nebula to attack mankind’s populated planets. The Union has surrounded the nebula with its most advanced warships and is prepared to attack anything that appears out of the dust. But going inside the nebula has proven to be close to outright suicide; no warship that’s gone in to scout the nebula has come out. Something is going on and to delay finding out could prove to be disastrous. Jingle had bowed out of the war and had made it clear she wanted no future part in it. But she discovers that Alex is planning to take a scout into the Nebula and Admiral Glennon asks her to help talk him out of it. She reluctantly agrees and once again finds herself in the middle of events. But this time, the threat facing humanity has made a sinister turn for the worse. The aliens in the Styx Nebula are no longer the only danger facing the Union. The only way to begin to understand what’s going on is for Alex and Jingle to cross the Styx.

An Inevitable War

2019

The Galactic Union has allied with the Canis Aliens and is assisting them in moving their populations into the Milky Way. The aggressive civilization in the Large Magellanic Cloud currently attacking the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy will soon be turning their full attention to the small galaxy; time is running out until that happens. The Union knows the LMC Aliens will arrive only to find the civilization in Canis Major is no longer present. They will naturally start searching for them and the most likely place they will start their search will be the Milky Way. That will lead to a confrontation with the Union. The LMC civilization has more giant battleships than the Nebula Aliens the Union just defeated and they’re more advanced technologically. The Union’s Senior Admirals have started a massive construction program to build up the fleet and there is no doubt that an Inevitable War is coming. Will the Union and Wilds be ready when the giant battleships show up? Alex and Jingle Berringer are commanding the Union's defenses and are unaware of a new alien warship coming to meet them. The Union's newest warships don't match up with them and Alex is going into the LMC to find out what they're up against. He wasn't prepared for what he discovered.

Crossing the Line

2019

The war with the aggressive civilization in the Large Magellanic Cloud has been over for four years and the Milky Way has been at peace. However, there is great concern at the highest levels of the Union that there may be aggressive civilizations in the closest large galaxy to the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy. The fear of another powerful civilization attacking the Union must be investigated. Alex and Jingle Berringer have retired from the military but they are called upon by the Prime Minister to undertake a secret mission out to Andromeda to determine if there are any dangers to the Union lurking there. The mission seems simple enough; go in, look around, and come back. However, what they find in Andromeda is mind boggling; the entire galaxy is preparing for war against an enemy older than humanity that eradicated all intelligent life in the Milky Way hundreds of thousands of years in the past. To make matters worse, that enemy is returning to the Milky Way after it finishes with Andromeda. The Union must decide what to do about the threat; should they just stay hidden and wait for the war in Andromeda to end or cross the line and take immediate action. Either way, there will be no going back; this ancient enemy has never been defeated.

No Going Back

2020

The gigantic war fleet sent from M-87 against the Andromeda Galaxy was defeated down to the last warship; there were no survivors. The victors celebrated the victory but worried that M-87 would be sending an even larger force the next time; everyone believed that the next attack would make the billion warships they just defeated look small in comparison. It took the combined efforts of the Milky Way and Andromeda’s Fleets to win against the unimaginable numbers that confronted them in the last invasion. Experts agreed that the next invasion would probably not be coming for ten years. With the fifty million lightyears between the galaxies, communications were delayed by years. That gave the two large galaxies time to prepare. The Union shared the blueprints on their most advanced warships with Andromeda and construction began immediately. The planets in the Milky Way were already working at maximum speed and it was hoped enough warships would be completed in time for the next confrontation. There was great concern that both galaxies would not be able to match the construction capability of the giant galaxy they were up against; it was twenty times larger than both of them combined. The leaders of both galaxies knew one thing for certain; no matter what happened, there was no going back. This story is written against a vast canvass and is reminiscent of the Annihilation Series. Sit back and watch as galaxies collide in interstellar war.

Intergalactic War

2020

The Milky Way has avoided discovery by the aggressive civilization in the giant galaxy M-87, however, it appears that won't last much longer. The enemy has developed technology that allows them to see through the Union's stealth systems and new more lethal warships are being built. To make matters worse, they are focusing on the attacks coming from M-85 and have planned to remove them before focusing on Andromeda. If Andromeda falls, the Milky Way will be next. The Union has not been standing still in developing new technology, however, there are limited numbers of pilots who possess the skills needed to fly the new warship and time is running out. The final confrontation is coming and there's no longer the possibility of hiding from their enemies. Intergalactic war is coming and the allies are still heavily outnumbered.

One day her husband contacts her during one of her classes to go on a quick mission with him. She initially refuses insisting she no longer flew missions, but Alex is adamant. She reluctantly agrees and discovers that an advanced alien warship has appeared in M-85 and he was assigned the mission to go confront it. Jingle has little doubt that this warship came out of The Big Black and was anything but good news.

A new Forbidden Wilds appeared with a Nasty Civilization the Three Galaxies were going to come into contact with soon, according to the most highly advanced alien civilization that suddenly appeared. Jingle was determined to stay out of it and live her perfect life. But the military leaders were in over their heads and she could clearly see it. It was up to them to find their way, not her.
