Post Contact: Breaking Back
Ravaged by a killer virus, Earth lies isolated beneath a deadly barrier of orbiting satellite and missile debris. High above, having fought off the alien attack, the surviving occupants of Base Primo must rally.
Rescuing Earth before everyone dies and mounting a counter strike against the aliens before they can return in even greater numbers are equally crucial goals. With Steph and Jamie reunited, there is a moment when everything seems possible. Then, as the clock ticks down, the problems begin to bite. The shock of alien conflict rolls across the galaxy and power begins to shift on Earth. And the question still remains to be answered, can humanity stand.
At every turn the surviving humans learn more about themselves and the astral duties they have inherited.
In the depths of space, you can hide from your enemies, but you can never hide from yourself.

About the author
D.C. Macey
8 books40 followersD. C. Macey is an author and lecturer based in the United Kingdom.
A first career in the Merchant Navy saw Macey’s early working life devoted to travelling the globe. In the process, it gave him an introduction to the mad mix of beauty, kindness, cruelty and inequality that is the human experience everywhere. Between every frantic coastal encounter was a trip across the ocean, which brought the contrast of tranquil moments and offered time for reading, writing and reflection.
Those roving days came to a close, however, with Macey serving as a ship’s officer in the North Sea oil industry.
Several years working in business made it apparent that Macey’s greatest commercial skill was the ability to convert tenners into fivers, effortlessly and unerringly – a skill that ensured Macey had the unwelcome experience of encountering those darker aspects of life that lie beneath the veneer of our developed world and brought fleeting glimpses into the shadows where bad things lurk.
Eventually, life’s turbulence, domestic tragedy and impending poverty demanded a change of course. As a result, more recent years have been spent in the academic world lecturing and producing predominantly corporate media resources, the resultant stability allowing the time and opportunity to return to the written word.
In the current year, Macey has surrendered his lecturing role entirely, stepping away from academia to focus exclusively on his writing.

This is one of my favourite series
This is one of my favourite series. It’s very well written and the story keeps me on the edge of my seat. I’m looking forward to future books in this series.

A very enjoyable Series indeed. Perhaps I knew that 'Book 3 - Breaking Back' would show the emphasis of how politics gets in the way of everything. I would like to know that Mr D.C Macey had a Book 4 up his sleeve and Mr Weeman will come to the rescue, but alas I think not and that's shame!
