Imprisoned within a hyperdimensional barrier, the Chroniech applied all their intellect to finding a way out. After 15 years they succeeded. During that time the Chroniech had been building warships as fast as their shipyards could produce them. With the barrier breached, the unstoppable invasion force descended upon the Alliance with one goal in mind - EXTERMINATION!

About the author

I've always wanted to be a writer. I used an old Royal typewriter in high school to start my first work of genius - I never completed it. Over the years, I started and never finished more stories than I can count--and then I discovered word processors. Editing was a snap and as my time in the Navy drew to a close I finished my first complete novel. Although it was never published, it served as the basis for the entire Galactic Alliance series.

The books I write can be read by all age-groups from the young to the very old.

Today, I'm a husband, father of two daughters, grandfather, and a science fiction writer. I currently work as a database administrator at a nuclear power plant in Northeastern Ohio. I am proud to have served 11 years in the U.S. Navy as a nuclear propulsion operator (nuke ET).

I am an avid reader of science fiction and science-related books and magazines and I prefer to write science fiction that is heavily based on science. Of course, it is science fiction so the science often has to be stretched. I have also written two fantasy novels.

I am constantly trying to improve my writing skills and I enjoy receiving feedback from my readers. One of my more vocal fans is now a close collaborator serving as my content editor in my most recent book. An author should always listen to those who read his or her books; it's the only way to know where improvements can be made.

An excellent book on peace and war

I liked the book enough to rate the book! I read so much Good science fiction and read for hours that I don’t take the time to rate the books!
I saw this book advertised and enjoyed it a great deal! Unfortunately I read in book 3, I am going to now buy books 1,2,4 and5. I am 79, but have been a fan of science fiction since age 8! Earlier Sci Fi was really a lot of wishful thought! Today we can understand better based Sci Fi to science! Try reading Author James Blish years ago! Well, I wander in my thoughts now! I attended The University of
Chicago in Physics and worked wish Dr Allison on the Fermi Bubble chamber to view capture of I believe the muon capture —than got Masters in Physics, matimatics and Economics. At IIT in graduate school!
I recommend that these books are very good, but if you buy book 3, set aside for book 1. But—its great to read it out of sequence!
I liked the book, and as you can tell, this author will be followed by me for my remaining days on earth!

Very nice followup story from the 2nd book's plot. Nice SiFi read. good writing and plot. This is a great series for a young or beginning SiFi reader to enjoy. Recommended

Military/space/scifi all combined into one fast paced action novel. When an old war is re-ignited after fifteen years, Ken Stricklen is called back to duty as a starship captain and advisor. The role he plays in the war and the ultimate reconciliation of the animosity between various extra-terrestrial races is the basis for a good wrap-up of the Galactic Alliance trilogy.

A fantastic book, which for me was the best of the three in the series - certainly saved the best till last.
