Fighting for Melbourne

From the International Bestselling Author, Saxon Andrew, comes the third book in the Fight for Britannia series, Fighting for Melbourne. Thousands of years ago, three colony starships launched from Earth to escape a powerful dictator and an impending nuclear war. Each starship found a habitable planet to settle and build a new free world for their colonists. However, the colonies Britannia and America were attacked and overpowered by advanced alien civilizations after thousands of years of peace. Fortunately, the third colony, Melbourne, managed to save some of the survivors hiding in the wilderness on Britannia before the planet was blasted from space. The population of America was later saved and taken to Melbourne during an elaborate plan that led to the two alien civilizations going to war. Now the final surviving colony of free humans is at risk of being discovered by the alien civilizations that destroyed both Britannia and America.

The only thing keeping Melbourne safe is that it remains unknown and hidden to its enemies, but the Colonies' computers are predicting the odds of that continuing are shrinking... quickly. Transferring populations to the newly established colonies has begun but time is running out and the aliens' warships outnumber their forces by hundreds of thousands. If Melbourne is found, saving it will be next to impossible; even attempting to save it would certainly lead to the discovery and subsequent destruction of the new colonies.

Humanity is faced with an impossible decision; should the colonies step aside and watch Melbourne's destruction or will they choose Fighting for Melbourne instead.

The survival of the last free humans is at stake and this will be a hard story to put down. The twists and turns in Fighting for Melbourne will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final pages. I'm hoping you will enjoy this story enough to share it with all your Sci-Fi friends.

Excerpt: Fighting for Melbourne

The High Leader turned to the Fleet Manager, "How do we communicate with them?"
"I'm reasonably certain they've learned our language. They're inside communication range now."
The High Leader handed the Fleet Admiral the hand communicator, "You're the one that wants to talk with them."
The Fleet Manager nodded and set the communication panel to a wide frequency, "That's close enough. Stop where you are, or I'll order your vessel destroyed."

The War Leader heard the computer translated voice over the wall speakers and turned to his pilot, "Stop the ship."
The giant Planet Killer came to stop still surrounded by the three giant Fagan Fortresses. "Why have you come to our space?" The Fleet Manager asked.
"My leaders have sent me here to clear up an issue that has confused us."
"Why would we be interested in clearing up one of your issues? We're at war with you," the Fleet Manager replied.
"I told them the effort was probably worthless, but they still ordered me to come and ask you a question," The War Leader answered.
The Fleet Manager looked at the High Leader and then asked, "What is your question?"
"My leaders want to know why you've stopped sending the small white ships to attack us."

Abby stood up, "INITIATE OPERATION ZOMBIE NOW!!" Admiral Mulvaney ran out of the office and she turned to Rory, "Send a feed of this to Grady!! The cat is out of the bag and they're going to start looking for Melbourne! It's only a matter of time until they find it.
