What is Space, if we can’t investigate further?
What is Space, if we don’t have the capability to travel to distant worlds?
What is Space, if there is no other form of intelligent life form out there?
It is these unknown quantities, that make space so exiting and it is these questions that make the future sound so enticing…
What will the world be like in 200 years? Will we have the capacity to travel beyond the stars and is there intelligent life out there? Opinions are divided, but you don’t have to be a believer to enjoy a good story and stories of adventure, of war, of romance, set years into the future on another planet, or another galaxy are the stuff of legends.
Alpha One is Earth, set 200 years from now, when the people of Earth know that they are not alone and where high velocity space travel has become the norm. Alpha is Earths military capability in space and they are very much in demand.
Alpha One - The Jump Pilot is the first novel in a series of 7 (two trilogies and a final one off book) It is quintessential Space Opera….
****************************
Jake is a trainee Jump Pilot and war is rife in the galaxy...
The Sentinels are very sensitive about a region of space, light years from their territorial boundaries. They are guided by the Betanica Sect, who seek to protect the galaxy and in particular the Tri Star Region from invasion by the Kryl. The Kryl are the devil incarnate. Jake is a final year Alpha Academy student and he has chosen Jump Ship Command to launch his career. He and Steve are two of the brightest academy pilots. They are also vying for the affection of the same girl. Carla is looking for her sister, who left home 6 years before to join the Collective, lead by the sinister and mysterious Professor Winterburn. Winterburn casts a spell over everyone he meets.The Sentinels and the Betanica Sect lock horns with Alpha in a battle to assume control of the Tri Star System. Alpha's aim is to open the Blue Worm hole; a gateway to another galaxy. The gathering masses are joined by Winterburn and his flock and by Jake and Steve whose sole intention is to rescue Carla Stevenson from Winterburn’s clutches.
The first book introduces us to Jake Carter, his fellow Alpha Academy Trainees and to Jonathan Hoskins, a ship of the line commander in Alpha’s burgeoning fleet. The storyline follows Jake and his compatriots as they take on first the Sentinels and then the Kryl; the ultimate destructive force in the galaxy.

Too all writers agents and fiction publishers. This is something new and yet a genre we are all familiar with. First there was star trek, then star wars and now when all else is lost... There is Alpha One. IS THE WORLD REDAY FOR ALPHA ONE!
Take a look at my new prologue:
PROLOGUE
Salas shook his head in disbelief. The Sentinel ship had been abandoned and left to defend itself in the vastness of open space, against the might of Alpha.
They had come from nowhere and his ship had no answer. His shields were depleted, the weaponry hold virtually empty. He had nothing left to offer.
He found himself dreaming of another place, his planet, so far away and his family, his children and his home. All were now just that a distant dream...
The missile hit the ship broadside, towards the stern and ploughed straight through the main hull before exiting amidships. In a fraction of a second nine Sentinels were vaporised and the ship split almost perfectly into two, as if a chef’s knife had sliced straight though an apple. The bow all but disintegrated as it fell away from the main body of the vessel and a massive explosion engulfed the remaining hulk in flames.
The Sentinel Commander looked puzzled briefly, before realisation struck. His ship had been destroyed and he was about to breathe his last breath.
What seemed like minutes passed and Salas awaited his fate; his crew lying dead around him, his own demise inevitable. He sat down in his chair, raised his hands to his head and sobbed.
Then the bridge exploded and it was all over.

Quotes:
“Leave or your fleet will be destroyed.”
“Admiral, the Sentinel flagship is in trouble, sir. Her shields are down. She is dormant and listing."
“Winterburn is an alien, whose sole intention is the destruction of the human race. He doesn’t love you."
Excerpt:
The Halo 7’s engines could no longer sustain their current status and she was dragged forward. Hoskins ordered full reverse thrust, but the ship’s engines were powerless to prevent the relentless slide towards the hole. The Halo 7, together with hundreds of smaller vessels, was quickly absorbed into the vortex and then, just as suddenly, she was gone.
Cameron stood in disbelief. He witnessed the sheer magnificence, the creation of an immensely powerful vortex: a mystery of space which man helped to create, but for which they had little understanding. Then, before his eyes, hundreds of space craft were consumed into its belly, including the Halo 7 and the AUSWAS ship. He had no idea where they went, if they survived, or whether this were a gateway to a distant galaxy. All he knew was that his task was done: he had opened the two wormholes to create something bigger in size and stature.
