Every war has a beginning…

For over three hundred years the humans on Wholbard Meridian have been hunted by the Elecebra, a hostile race of alien slavers.  The only hope for humanity was The Lore that taught about the courageous Captain Joshua who left the system alone in search of help.  For centuries people believed the Captain would return to save them from the Elecebra, but hope is fragile.  And when each day is a struggle to find food and stay alive, the very idea of freedom can be deadly.  Unable to stay in one place for very long, the humans on Wholbard Meridian live in small, nomadic clans in the high mountains.  Most of their technology and scientific knowledge has been lost, but their resourcefulness and ability to adapt is stronger than ever.  But will it be enough to push back the Elecebra, or will the hope of the Captain’s return proof false and provoke the ire of the deadly aliens?


Graham Baccii is barely across the threshold of manhood when he encounters the Elecebra for the first time.  The stories he has heard of the alluring aliens are all true, and resistance to their powerful mental attacks is almost impossible.  Nothing comes easily for Graham and his friends.  Yet despite the heartache of life on Wholebard Meridian, Graham believes The Lore.  And even in the face of a duplicitous enemy, he can’t let go of the hope that drives him to believe that something better is ahead — as long as he’s willing to fight for it.

   Can you hear the signal?

      Do you believe?

From master storyteller Toby Neighbors comes an all new military sci-fi adventure in the vein of Dune, Ender’s Game, and Battlefield Earth.  The signal that reaches Graham and his friends isn’t just an affirmation that help is coming, it’s a call for the humans on Wholbard Meridian to rise up and fight back against the aliens who have seized control of the planet.  It’s the beginning of a savage struggle for freedom that you won’t want to miss.  With characters you’ll fall in love with, The Signal is a fast paced, thrill ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.
