By now David Birkenhead has all but defeated the Boyen Emperor, whose strength is but a shadow of what it was before the Battle of Wilkes Prime. His fleet has been shattered and with it his dreams of conquest. Yet the Emperor and his court fight desperately on, and the price of invading Imperious Prime remains too terrible to contemplate. Is there another, less-bloody way of ending the war besides invasion? And if so……what will it cost David personally? Should anyone, anywhere be expected to pay such a price? Views: 27
First Contact: Assess human with the flawed, rudimentary, mind …
Unbeknownst to simpleton Cuddy Perkins, his dependable, uneventful, life was about to be turned completely upside down.
It’s a moonless summer night when a severely damaged intergalactic spacecraft enters Earth’s upper orbit. The alien pilot is desperate. Needs to hold up long enough to make repairs—before his pursuers find him.
Cuddy Perkins lives a simple life with his mother, his dog Rufus, and a scattering of farm animals that still inhabit their old, dilapidated, Woodbury Tennessee ranch. He was used to the insults; retard … simpleton … village idiot. Momma says to just ignore them … people can be heartless. But Cuddy already knew he had been different, ever since the accident back when he was seven. He didn’t know how long ago that was, exactly, but he did know he was pretty big now—taller than his older brother, Kyle … who was in prison, and the Woodbury Sherriff—the man who put him there.

… Over the past year, things have been relatively peaceful within the Planetary Alliance. Captain Jason Reynolds is looking forward to a fishing trip in the deep wilderness on Alantia Dastile with Michael, his six-year-old son. His wife, Dira, and his father, the Fleet Omni, are away on a diplomatic mission to the Sommis of Adriark. It’s the perfect time for an interstellar getaway. Or is it?
Jason just needs to check on one thing first—a flurry of mechanical issues recently plaguing the Parcical, the Omni’s Rogue Class spacecraft—something about a Zoo habitat using increasing amounts of the vessel’s memory, that and a flurry of malfunctions with onboard Caldurian technologies.
Caught off guard, it’s soon discovered; a different kind of war is coming. The Alliance is not prepared. The U.S. Fleet is not prepared. A new enemy rears it’s ugly head and quickly becomes the dominant force within the sector. For those who survive the coming rampage — the coming war — everything will change.
The Scrapyard Ship gang unites one more time for this action-packed adventure. Together, they will endeavor to give the Planetary Alliance a fighting chance against almost certain devastation that’s heading toward the Sol system. Views: 27
