Download or read book The Guardians written by F. Thomas Jones and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-09 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jones offers a combat-filled space opera that should pass muster with fans of military sci-fi à la the original Lorne Greene Battle Star Galactica rather than the new one. Several centuries in the future, a united, space-faring humanity, now known as the Guardians, confronts its deadliest nemesis in the Klingon-like Tirgonians, members of a militaristic and aggressive empire that believes humanity’s penchant for peaceful coexistence, an unbearably distasteful notion. After years of an uneasy truce, a sudden and unprovoked Tirgonian blitzkrieg across the two civilizations’ “Agreed Zone” boundary devastates the Guardians’ worlds and outposts. The remaining five hundred-plus survivors board the advanced Battleship Hope. Gandle “Hops” Hoppinzorinski, a war hero from a previous conflict, in Capt. Kirk mode has tangled with the Tirgonians before. Now, he finds himself commanding the Hope and dealing with the unexpected discovery of additional Guardian warships, but the defection of one the foremost Tirgonian combat commanders, Telebisque Teka. Tekas’s defection includes himself and the Fighting Star Palup with its entire crew. The prose offers up a large amount of square-jawed, war-room talk, wasting no time on sentimental mourning for a destroyed Earth, slain loved ones, or the impending extinction of the human race. It’s practically all action as the Guardians strive to deploy their new and greatly improved weapons and tactics against a bellicose enemy that consistently outguns but constantly underestimates the Guardians' willingness to fight for their survival and return to their peaceful way of life.

Download or read book The Guardians Series Book 1 4 written by S. Hamil and published by Frog Haven Press. This book was released on 2023-01-09 with total page 1048 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Guardians Series A bundled world of Angels, Dark Angels and everything in between… This book contains my four first Guardian Angel romances, and is a four book saga starting with Claire, the precocious and curious Guardian who gets so close to the flame, her wings get scorched as she falls hard for Daniel, her explosive and brilliantly talented Brazilian painter charge. We follow the story of two additional main characters in Underworld Lover, Underworld Queen and Redemption. You’ll meet Father, who assigns missions, is enchanted with the stories of the world he’s created and never doubts the genius of the humans he delights in learning about and how they deal with the otherworldly Guardians and Dark Angels who try to help but sometimes prey upon them. From the first chapter in Heavenly Lover where Claire learns there is a cemetery in Heaven, to the conclusion of the saga (for now) where Joshua is tasked with the unthinkable, I hope you love the twists and turns and the colorful characters and worlds I’ve created. Writing these is a passion project for me. Never forget: Heaven was created by design. The Underworld was created by accident.
