ships. Two of them were SSS ships, and the third was a light attack ship. None of them was capable of neutralising a space fortress. The team of technicians should get there in time, but it would be tight. If the base was not switched off, in seven hours the formation would come within range of the radar and would be scanned.
Even if the servicing team did reach the base in time and managed to switch off its combat systems, the aliens would reach Earth a few hours later. Who knew with what intentions? MacQueen sighed deeply. It looked as if there would be no choice this time.
"Message for the President. Highest degree of urgency. Within seven hours, the first armed conflict with the aliens' ships is expected. I consider it advisable to declare a general mobilisation of Earth's armed forces. Commander-in-Chief of the Space Fleet, General MacQueen."

THE CONTACT
In the 22nd century, mankind has assimilated the Solar System within the orbits of the inner planets, and is gradually moving further out, beyond the asteroid belt, towards the outer planets.
The recently discovered technology of remote manipulation has given people the capability of altering the orbit of planetary-size celestial bodies, laying the foundation of a new era for the human race: the terraforming age. The colonisation of space beyond the limits of the Solar System has become only a matter of time.
Soon after the first successful test, changing Mercury's orbit, a strange object moving from the depths of space towards the centre of the Solar System enters the field of vision of a telescope at an observatory in Chile...
FUNDAMENTAL FORCE
Mankind was warned not to touch Pandora's box, a lost relic of an alien race, but it decided not to listen...
Through a tragic chain of events, human civilization gains access to fragments of knowledge from an ancient alien race. Unaware of the danger lurking in the powerful technologies, it undertakes the first interstellar journey to the nearest exoplanet in the habitable zone...
THE STORM
A hitherto unknown cycle of high solar activity has led to the collapse of civilisation on Earth. As countries become engulfed by the flames of apocalyptic chaos, primal fear turns humans back into wild animals and the cities into concrete jungles where the rule of force is replacing the rule of law.
The destinies of people are like matchwood in the torrent of global catastrophe toppling civilisation. Decisive action and a cunning plan aim to turn back the course of history...
ENTANGLED
Aaron has cheated death once more... the heart attack didn't kill him, just made him contemplative, walking the corridors of his life's memories. Read Aaron's incredible journey, written in a comfortably lazy, lyrical style that evokes all the senses - all the tastes, aromas and sweet touches of life.
