Earth Must BE Stopped

From the bestselling author, Saxon Andrew, comes the first book in the Assassins' Guild Series - "Earth Must Be Stopped". Fifty-colonies were founded hundreds of years ago, after Nordstrum Haladay discovered Phase Field technology. Millions of Colonists left Earth to escape the incessant wars, famine, and over-population plaguing the planet. Earth regressed to a primitive civilization after a nuclear holocaust killed more than twelve-billion people. They became little more than primitive farmers; blaming science and technology for the climactic nuclear war and abhorred all technology.
The colonies were left to fend for themselves. Four-hundred-years after the war, the Colonies sent starships back to Earth to trade for the crops and forced an unfairly low price on the farmers. Earthlings came to detest the colonies and decided that technology might be needed for defense. Earth began evolving quickly and three-hundred-years, after the colony traders first arrived, Earth rivaled the colonies in advanced technology.
However, Earth did not possess Phase Field Technology, and was held captive inside their Solar System for lack of stardrive technology. The colonies knew if Earth possessed a stardrive there would be reason to worry.
The President of the Colonies' Council has intel information that a scientist on Earth might be close to developing a working Phase Field Stardrive and felt that Earth must be stopped! The Assassins Guild was contracted to eliminate the scientist and all those working around him to prevent the discovery of a stardrive.
The Assassins Guild kills millions of citizens in the colonies every year and receives billions in payment for the contracts they accept. This contract would be the most difficult ever accepted by the Guild. The assassins will take on the daunting task of blending in with Earth's population, being forced to operate on a planet they are completely unfamiliar with while avoiding Earth's formidable Security Forces. The top two ranked assassins are chosen for the contract and don't know what lies ahead.
The twists and turns in this full-length novel at 94,000 words will keep you guessing at what's coming next as you keep turning the pages to find out.

Excerpt: Earth Must Be Stopped

Tal lowered his eyes, "The Council will be extremely unhappy if the Assassins Guild fails to carry out their contract."
The Guild Master's face turned angry, "What are you saying? Is this a threat?"
"No, Guild Master, I'll accept the job on one condition?"
"And what is that?"
"I want the names of the guild members that paid you off to send us?" The Guild Master stared at Tal, and Tal continued, "You know you'd prefer to not have to look over your shoulder wondering if they're angry if we survive. I'd be doing you a favor, Guild Master."
The Guild Master turned to Ka, "Are you in or out?"
Tal turned to Ka, "He's right, Ka. The reason he's sending two-agents is because the security forces on Earth know that assassins usually work alone. If either of us tried to do this alone, Earth's agents would be on us like white on rice. We know nothing about what we'll be facing on Earth and scouting will be close to impossible. Going as a couple makes sense and increases the odds of success."
Ka stared at Tal and then turned back to the Guild Master, "I'm in, if you give him the names... " The Guild Master stared at her and she smiled, "before we leave."
"You won't have time to do anything about it."
"Even so."
The Guild Master took out a business card from a desk drawer and wrote on the back of it. He handed it to Tal and said, "Those are the ones that paid to have you sent on a dangerous mission. Now, sign the contract!"
