Book 2 in the Dave Brewster Series. The Predaxians have invaded Greater Gallia, and Dave and his friends must find new allies to push them back.
Follow the adventures of Dave Brewster and his friends in the sequel to Showdown Over Neptune. The Predaxian Alliance, led by Emperor Zendo, has invaded Greater Gallia in their drive to enslave the galaxy. The first invasion attempt was pushed back, but not before too many brave soldiers were killed or taken prisoner. Now the Predaxians are coming back with their entire fleet, heavily outgunning the forces of Gallia, Kalidus and Earth.
The Second Predaxian War begins at a time of apparent turmoil within the Alliance, as a rising tide of dissent is turning public opinion against the Emperor, who has imprisoned his own son for opposing his imperialistic ways. Can those Predaxians be counted on to help bring down the Emperor, or is this just a lure into a trap?
In order to find new allies and resources, Dave is sent on a mission into unexplored space. Along the way, he discovers another maklan civilization that has developed the most powerful technology the universe has even known. Can they be convinced to help end the carnage and bring peace to this side of the galaxy? Dave’s friendship with Fa-a-Di, De-o-Nu and Jake Benomafolays will be put to the test to find out!
Excerpt
Michamanades was starting to remember the battle over Nom-Kat-La. He had been on the bridge of the Courage with two other maklans. Their job was to keep the Predaxians from gaining control of any human minds on the bridge. Captain London led her ship into a skirmish in orbit over the planet. Two Predaxian transport ships were rapidly shuttling troops and weapons to the forces below. They were protected by four star cruisers and several hundred fighters. Nom-Kat-La was not a typical gas giant planet that the Galliceans loved. It had a heavy atmosphere and a large solid surface. That made the planet an ideal launching pad for defending or attacking the Greater Gallia frontier. If the Predaxians could take the planet, they would have a strong fortress to support their takeover of the region. Courage was one of ten ships that had jumped from Io to attack the transport ships. The remaining ships either landed troops on the planet or tried to stabilize the frontier by blocking further incursions.
The Predaxian attack fleet was from the Palus star system. These Beings were very similar to their cousins, the Galliceans. They had been one of the largest and most advanced civilizations in that area and only lost dominance when the Predaxian maklans took over their leaders’ minds. The Palians had become unwitting partners in expanding Predaxian control. They believed they were fighting for their own honor while the Predaxian maklans pulled their strings.
The Courage was ordered to fire upon the larger transport ship. They faced withering fire from the defending cruisers. The Kalidean cruiser Opus flew with her, trying to draw enemy fire. Kalidean defense shields were the best in the known galaxy, and the Opus extended her shields around Courage. Opus fired its blasters at the transport ship and explosions rocked the ship as it began to break apart. Escape pods from the transport ship littered the sky.
