Summary
The Humans have destroyed 2,000 Alliance Warships and now

48,000 Warships but the way things are going, they may not be
enough. A new Queen has come to power and her impact on the
struggle will be monumental.
The Annihilation Trilogy continues in the second book and
the adventure intensifies as the forces arrayed against
humanity are coming enmass. Hang on. The ride gets more
intense.
Excerpt from Power of A Queen
“Warleader, we are in position.”
Lt. Minishe said, “Sir the ten ships have turned and
are accelerating toward our fort.”
The ten Vgrig ships were accelerating at their maximum speed
and were 80 miles from the surface of the screen when a bright
white light 5 miles wide erupted from the fortress and hit the
ten ships. Nothing remained when it turned off.
‘Start your acceleration now.”
“Attention all fortresses; this is Colonel Taz. We
are going live weapons. Target the ships around our screen.
Hold your fire until we eliminate the ten suicide ships. The
four fortresses on this side of the planet are to target their
zones. As the other forts rotate into position, move your zone
with the rotation. I think they will run directly from the
planet, but stay alert in case they try to run around it. We
will fire in 30 seconds.”
“Holy Groad, what was that?” the Warleader
said. Then he saw more than a hundred of those beams fire
through his ships. “Get out of there!” he yelled
into his com; but it was no use. His fleet was sitting still
and it took a few moments to get under way. Those moments
proved fatal when those beams moving at light speed hit his
ships. Out of 800 ships hanging above the planet only 10 were
able to start moving but they were hit before they could move
out of range. Where those beams hit, nothing remained.
“War leader, the screen has reduced to 87 degs
thickness,” the sensor officer said, “and all of
our ships have been blown out of existence.”
