The Alliance lays the groundwork for a 6-volume science fiction ebook and paperback series, combining both space opera and post-apocalyptic elements of Earth's thrilling journey from dystopia to utopia to interstellar travel and space colonization, and the evolution of diverse societies - some human, some not - across the centuries, all in the shadow of a galactic menace. SHORT DESCRIPTION Individuals from different walks of life--and regions of the Milky Way--go head to head with an alien tyrant and his conquest, unaware that they have become pawns of omniscient entities and drawn into an elaborate ploy of universal proportions. LONG DESCRIPTION Earth's greatest military powers have been crushed to a shadow of their former glory. Alien invasion has plagued entire continents, throwing surviving societies into turmoil, famine, disease. Mankind's legacy has been reduced to ruins of rubble and rust. The future seems bleak for the isolated pockets of military resistance, and what lurks in the skies will not rest until it has claimed every single one. But all is not lost for the despairing humans. In the infinitude of the universe, there may be hope, so long as humans can learn to trust those who claim responsibility for this calamity, who claim their intervention could save both worlds. Nearing extinction, do they have a choice? Salvation rests on the shoulders of two men who are more than what they appear: Ethan Alexander Colt is a resistance fighter in Britain expected to make the ultimate sacrifice; the other is the tormented Cpt Donovan Ford, who must conquer his ghosts and embrace his destiny as a soldier. Outnumbered and outmatched, two species will have to depend on the Conduits, ancient combat suits once operated by the infamous Scientists. But humans were designed with flaws, and Ethan and Donovan are no different. Will they see beyond their own aspirations and fight for the greater good? Or will they threaten the endurance of the Galactic Alliance and stability of the cosmos? Finding new science fiction authors that are great is very difficult and I'm very happy that Great Britain has yet again produced an outstanding new author; The Alliance by Chris G. Wright is a new Sci-Fi-series that will take the reader to a new concept when it comes to; science fiction, space opera, action, adventure, mystery, and some fantasy. - Erik Martin Willen, author of the Nastragull series
