Summary
From the International bestselling author, Saxon Andrew,
comes the third book in the Star Chase Series, Nowhere to
Hide. The newly formed Alliance is faced with a difficult
choice of either maintaining a low profile as the massive
Invader Fleets attack the civilizations in the giant galaxy,
M87, or joining them in defense of their galaxy. The Invaders
have more than a billion two mile long Battleships and
advanced technology that threatens to overwhelm the
defenders. The consensus is to stay out of the fight but Dee
Montgomery senses that the Milky Way will be attacked within
two years if the Invaders are not slowed down in M87. The
Alliance is in a dire situation and there’s not much
time to decide what to do.
The action continues as the Alliance is forced to decide
whether to defend the galaxy that attacked them or look for a
place to move their populations. It’s becoming clear
that escape will be next to impossible; there’s nowhere
to hide.
Excerpt from Star Chase-Nowhere to Hide.
The ship that emerged into space above the planet was
larger than the capital city on the surface. It extended a
force field more than eighty miles wide above it, as
thousands of large troop carriers began leaving its giant
landing bay and started dropping toward the city below.
Twenty thousand warships jumped in and began firing on the
giant intruder but their most powerful beams were easily
shrugged off. The defenders were not so fortunate. Massive
beams began lancing out from the giant Invader ship hitting
them and most of those ships that were hit were vaporized.
Thousands of additional warships started jumping in and the
thousands of beams being fired at the intruder began
targeting small areas on the intruder’s force field.
The intruder was forced to reduce the size of its huge force
field to prevent its hull from being hit. But it didn’t
have to maintain the force field much longer. The troop
transports would be in atmosphere shortly.
The Nephew looked up and said, “Father, two small
green ships have arrived and our beams are not getting
through their force fields.”

“Target them with multiple beams.”
“We’re firing twenty at them now.”
The Father instantly changed his display from the troop
transports to the small green ships and saw them flickering
four hundred miles out. They accelerated and began moving in
at an incredible velocity; he began to feel apprehension.
“Target all our beams at those two ships.”
One of the small green ships was hit with forty huge
beams and after twenty seconds exploded. The second leaped
forward at an incredible speed.
Two hundred beams began turning to fire on the small
ship but never had the opportunity to lock on the small
target. The Green Ship fired a twenty mile wide beam that
blasted through the force field above the planet; it hit the
giant transport in the center and the giant Invader blew up
in a massive blast. After the huge force field disappeared,
the surviving warships fell on the landers before they could
make it into the planet’s atmosphere; the
defender’s beams blew all of them into debris, which,
along with the giant transport, became brilliant meteorite
showers on the planet below.
The Commander of the defenders looked for the Green
Ship to offer thanks but it had disappeared. The city was
lucky to have survived. Three other large cities that were
targeted by the Invaders’ initial scouting mission
weren’t. Millions of inhabitants were stunned and
lifted off their planets to the giant ships hanging in orbit.
The Invaders withdrew before they could be stopped. The
survivors knew the invaders were coming back.
