Friends in Need

Lady luck has been good to humankind. But, she can be a fickle mistress. While human successes have been encouraging, great losses are also part of the equation and must be accepted. Contact with the Januki offers hope for more knowledge and technical support, although the friendly aliens are not in a position to provide ships and warriors to fight against the dreaded Saurans. But, humans will soon have the combat numbers to aid the Januki, making them an attractive ally, if the friendly race can just overlook some problems with the way humans are going about their business.In the meantime, Adm. Wayne Hurst is about to send out the first Task Force to disrupt Sauran efforts in this part of the Galactic Arm. However, his chosen commander has a problem and it must be resolved before they head out from his secret base of operations. Despite all the difficulties, humans continue to make progress in developing their own space navy, albeit at a snail's pace. I have been a long time reader of science fiction, military fiction, the occasional mystery and historical novels. I began reading amateur stories and was amazed at what could pass for an articulate and cohesive tale. So, I decided to give it a shot. I have been writing for years, but never published any of it. The first book, in my Broken Soldier series, had been rolling around in my mind for a few years. Once I began to put it together I realized I had an interesting tale; just the kind that I enjoy reading. I hope you enjoy the series, as much as I enjoy writing it.If you wish to compliment me, or rip me to shreds, I can be reached at my e-mail address of brucegeorge02@gmail.com. I gladly respond to all who wish a private communication. A disabled veteran is kidnapped by an alien being who uses advanced medical technology to repair his injured body. As he is recovering, the alien informs him that the people of Earth are in jeopardy of being destroyed by a race of brutal creatures and that he could be the man to lead the people of Earth in defending their planet.
