Summary
From the Number One International Bestselling Author Saxon
Andrew comes the second book in his newest series, Star
Chase-Nowhere to Run. This new series takes place a thousand
years in Earth's future after mankind has moved out into the
galaxy. With new Characters and powerful enemies, the series
will hook you from the start.
The Rebellion is over and the Union has united against the
powerful Slaver Civilization on the other side of the Milky
Way's Black Hole. The Union has managed to remain hidden from
this new threat but has made a critical mistake in attempting
to deceive them into believing it was located in Andromeda.
The evil awakened there is now a threat to both
civilizations. Enemies are lining up and the Union is now a
target of two powerful foes. It's only a matter of time until
it's found and there is nowhere to run.
Excerpt from Nowhere to Run:
Abbey looked at Gary and he reached forward, lifted a
glass cover, and pressed the red button on his console. G
jumped in close to the planet, launched FTL missiles at the
orbital defenses, and fired beams at the planet. Hundreds of
nuclear explosions erupted on the surface sending massive
shock waves out that marched across the land mass as the
White Ship jumped to the other side of the planet and a
hundred more reactors were hit by brilliant beams coming from
orbit. They watched as the shock waves rushed across the
surface of two continents, obliterating giant cities. Bright
red hot spots appeared glowing through the clouds where
nuclear reactors were blown flat and their containment
vessels ruptured causing them to burn into the planet's
surface. The nuclear fires sent tons of radioactive material
soaring into the atmosphere joining the mushroom clouds which
rose to sixty thousand feet and began releasing the highly
radioactive particles back into the planet's atmosphere. The
particles were then spread around the planet by the high
winds in the upper stratosphere.
Gary watched the conflagration from orbit and saw that
billions had been killed on the surface. There were billions
more that survived the shock waves but they would only have
ten days before they died of radiation poisoning. "The
warships are coming back."
Gary sighed, "Get us back to the Hub, G."
The warships arrived and the Admiral was furious. His
anger lasted five minutes as the second in command shot him
with a blaster at the Second Councilor's orders. The
thousands of commercial vessels and warships in orbit saw
they could do nothing to save the survivors. To enter the
planet's atmosphere was certain death. If they opened their
ports to remove survivors, radioactive particles would enter
the ships. They watched as the planet died. Many went to the
two orbital platforms to see if anyone survived the massive
missile strikes.

I like his style of writing, good story line with good
character development. It is easy to forget the time of day
(or night) and just read the entire book at one setting. Not
good for work the next day though.
