New Federation #3
The Kelad Onslaught
After the successive military disasters they had suffered, the Hareccans were only too happy to make peace with the Terrans, especially given the generous peace terms they offered. The Taxons, under Crown Prince Frogar, found the Hareccans unwilling to negotiate peace at first and had to invade their territory before they were prepared to come to the table. Then, after days of negotiating, the Hareccans were suddenly pressing for peace on any terms. Apparently, they had discovered a more serious threat than either the Taxons or the Terrans, and they wished to concentrate their ships in preparation for facing the Kelad onslaught.

About the author
Peter Rhodan
36 books67 followersI grew up in Sydney Australia but have lived on the Gold Coast, Australia for over thirty years. I have been many things over my life, courier driver, retail sales assistant, casino croupier, small business owner, a bankrupt former small business owner, a graphic designer, poker tournament operator and most recently an Uber driver.
I have a marvellous wife and two great kids (both adults now) plus a border collie cross dog who thinks she's a human.
I have always liked science fiction books, especially gung-ho space opera, time travel and alternate history genres. The first fiction book I read that I liked was Eagle of the Ninth and fist Science Fiction book I read and liked was Foundation by Asimov.
My favourite authors, at the moment, are David Weber, Lois McMaster Bujold, Christopher Nuttall and Pam Uphoff. Weber writes the best space opera while Bujold is simply the best writer and Miles Vorkisgan an amazing character. Chris Nuttall rarely writes anything that is only so-so and his Schooled in Magic books are the best magic school series I have read so far. Pam Uphoff writes primarily a cross dimensional series called the Wine of the Gods with the Directorate stories offshoot. These are delightful, entertaining and often thought provoking books that I love.
Chris Nuttall and Pam Uphoff inspired me to "have a go mate" and so I have.
My first novel is On the Rocks, the first story of Arturo Sandus (Sanders) and his adventures as a Space Ship captain marooned on a primitive swords and sandals era planet. Sort of...

Book Three
This was a good fast read but not really what I was expecting. In essence the cyborg form of Fred Saberhagen’s Berserker anti-life machines are advancing across the galaxy and it will take a grand alliance of sentient species to deal with this new threat.
