Alpha One: The Jump Pilot
What lies beyond the worm hole is the devil incarnate...
Jake is a trainee Jump Pilot and war is rife in the galaxy...The Sentinels are very sensitive about a region of space, light years from their territorial boundaries. They are guided by the Betanica Sect, who seek to protect the galaxy and in particular the Tri Star Region from invasion by the Kryl. The Kryl are the devil incarnate.
Jake is a final year Alpha Academy student and he has chosen Jump Ship Command to launch his career. He and Steve are two of the brightest academy pilots. They are also vying for the affection of the same girl. Carla is looking for her sister, who left home 6 years before to join the Collective, led by the sinister and mysterious Professor Winterburn. Winterburn casts a spell over everyone he meets.
The Sentinels and the Betanica Sect lock horns with Alpha in a battle to assume control of the Tri Star System. Alpha's aim is to open the Blue Worm hole; a gateway to another galaxy. The gathering masses are joined by Winterburn and his flock and by Jake and Steve whose sole intention is to rescue Carla Stevenson from Winterburn’s clutches.

The story was okay, kind of cliche. The writing style was quite painful. Every time the author used quotations for something that didn't really require them annoying little man would pop up in my head doing "air quotes". I wanted to kill that "little man" very badly by the time I got to the "somewhat disappointing" "conclusion" to the book.
Advice to author: Anytime you use quotes, re-read the paragraph aloud using air quotes every time you come across them.

Sorry, just couldn't finish this book. It read more like a 'draft' copy of a book than an actual finished product.
