The collected Return Fire series, featuring parts 1-3, in one complete volume. A Fresh, Exciting Take on Science Fictions Most Beloved Saga!
CONFEDERATION HAS FALLEN Once a mighty assembly of races spread across the galaxy, dedicated to peace and exploration, now stands on the brink of collapse.
AFTER THE INVASION Twenty years after a devastating attack by the dreaded Swarm, Confederation lives in the shadow of its own legacy and in fear that their enemy will return. Now, the most advanced warship of its time will venture into Swarm territory on a mission of revenge.
THE FIRE RETURNS In Return Fire 1-3, readers will experience the beginning of a new era in science fiction. Best-selling author Bernard Schaffer has assembled a wildly talented group of storytellers to create this new saga. Simultaneously paying homage to the most beloved franchise in history and twisting it to their own unique vision, the Confederation Reborn series is instantly familiar, and like nothing you've read before.
Bernard Schaffer is an author from the Philadelphia area. His acclaimed Santero and Rein Thriller series features Carrie Santero and her mentor, the troubled Jacob Rein. The Thief of All Light, An Unsettled Grave, and Blood Angel, are available from Kensington Books. His western trilogy debuted in 2021 as part of the Ralph Compton imprint with Berkley Books. All three titles, Face of a Snake, Snake's Fury, and Hell Snake, were selected as Walmart paperback exclusives.
These are the adventures of Liam O'Brian in a blatant homage to Star Trek except in a much bleaker universe battling a very Borg-like enemy. It was fun seeing the parallels between Star Trek and these stories as some of the main characters and races were thinly disguised copies of characters we've all known for years.
Did that take away from the stories entertainment value? Not one bit!
