Opening Shots

The countdown to invasion has begun and the New Hope Colony is a long way from home!

Opening Shots picks up right where Threat on the Horizon left off.

Suspicious activity around some islands south of the Alpha continent has triggered a reaction at Colonial Ranger HQ. Decisions made at Ranger HQ mean that Lieutenant Commander Rick Cassidy and Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford will have to head to the eastern settlements.

But first...Major Naomi MacCaffrey, the Canadian officer saved in Nigeria by Molly five years before, checks into the Logistics Directorate!

Fifty female students and interns from the New Hope Academy escorted by members of the school's faculty and staff begin their tour of the eastern settlements. It won't be long before their transport situation gets complicated by events beyond their knowledge or control.

The aliens who have come to remove the humans from the planet, the diminutive Rift and their giant Andoval mercenaries, plan a surprise seaborne invasion of the main eastern settlements. If their fleets can reach their targets on time the humans won't have a chance.

A brief warning cut off in mid-sentence is all that a town unprepared for the coming storm has to go on.
