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, led 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 World Of Alpha One
This is quintessential Space Opera. Jake is a trainee Jump Pilot and war is rife in the galaxy...
The Jump Pilot is the first book in a series of 7 which depict the lives of Jake Carter and Jonathan Hoskins two hundred years from now. The series, two trilogies and a final book, follow the two Alpha Commanders as they advance through their careers. In the first book, Jake Carter’s fledgling career has yet to start, as we see him progress through his final year of Alpha Academy and Jonathan Hoskins is now a mid ranking battle cruiser commander. Both aspire to Star Ship Command. Alpha is Earths military capability in space and Alpha One is Earth. Alpha is self regulating and divorced from Earth's Central Government and the dividing and sometimes divisive relationship between these two bodies is an important and developing aspect of the storyline. Earth is now the centre of an expansive and developing territorial domain with colonies and Alpha’s military presence spread through hundreds of star systems. Earth’s influence is growing and is seen as the emerging power base in the galaxy.
The Planet Earth is dying, with the climate change predictions of today affecting the climate of the 23rd century dramatically. The deterioration of Earths climate is terminal, but is partially controlled by Earths defence shields which jointly act as a defence against invasion and against the power of the sun.
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 was 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.
