Star Rover-The Worst of Time
(2014)(The fifth book in the Lens of Time series)
A novel by Saxon Andrew
From the Number One International Bestselling Author Saxon Andrew comes the fifth book in the Lens of Time Series, Star Rover-The Worst of Time. This story continues the story of Earth's struggle with the civilizations in the giant galaxy, M87. A thousand years of peace in the new Galactic Alliance is now in jeopardy. Civil war is imminent and the aggressors know Earth and its allies must be removed as a roadblock to their plans.
What the Aggressors don't know is the Union has found an advanced civilization in a distant galaxy that is starting to expand. It's just a matter of time until the Alliance and the Union will be faced with an enemy unlike any horror they've ever encountered. Earth and its Union allies are now faced with danger on two fronts and both are powerful enough to prevail. Difficult choices must be made during this worst of time for the union.
The action continues in Star Rover-The Worst of Time as Earth fights to survive the overwhelming forces arrayed against it. The ancestors of those who fought in the First Galactic War are faced with the real possibility of seeing Earth destroyed again.

Excerpt from Star Rover-The Worst of Time
The main city on the planet's surface had finally rotated around the edge of the planet and was only fifteen minutes from being directly below their position. He flashed the other seven ships and they broke out of subspace and roared in on the planet. Three of them were exploded by defense satellites before they had moved more than a hundred miles but the other five flashed by the huge orbiting facilities and they couldn't bring their weapons around fast enough to hit the fast moving ships. All of the orbiting defense installations had their weapons aimed away from the planet. That error was going to cost them
.
The Commander saw three more ships exploded by ships rushing in on them from the outer defense ring and saw that only his ship and one other had made it inside the planet's mighty orbital defenses. The ship next to him launched missiles at the giant city under them but he saw defense lasers pick them off before they could arrive inside the planet's atmosphere. The ship flying beside him blew up when it was hit by an incoming missile barrage from incoming defenders. The Commander looked at his flight Officer who yelled, "We've got to jump away."
The Commander hit the override button on his console and took control of the ship from the bridge crew. He applied full thrusters and aimed his ship at the tall crystal buildings located in the planet's largest city's financial district. The crew jumped up to stop him but didn't arrive in time. His family had died of starvation from the predatory lending policies of this planet and he was not calling off the attack. He knew that even if he did jump away, he would be followed and killed. His eight ships were nowhere close to the technological wonders this rich planet had to use against him.
Missiles and lasers began hitting his ship from the surface but they weren't designed to penetrate a warship's force field. The nine hundred foot long brown ship flashed through the atmosphere so fast that its sonic boom arrived ten minutes after it hit the very epicenter of the crystal towers. The sonic boom was erased by the massive shock wave that met it a mile above the city's streets. The city ceased to exist.
