The Third Side (Battle for the Solar System, #2)


Book Description

Simon Dodds has had his wings clipped. Shot down over the luxurious holiday planet Mythos and separated from his wingmates, he is quick to discover that the once-popular sun-soaked paradise has been transformed into a nightmarish war zone, swarming with armies of seemingly unstoppable black-suited soldiers. The Pandoran war machine is on the move, preparing to advance The Mission and deal to the rest of the galaxy the same fate it did the Mitikas Empire. Unaware of what fate may have befallen his friends, the young pilot attempts to make his way through the dangerous streets of the war-torn city of New Malaga, as he waits for the CSN to rush to the rescue. But from out of the chaos emerges something far more terrible; and if Dodds can somehow survive the next 24 hours, he might finally see beyond the lies he has been fed and hear a side to the story that no one wants him to: what really happened to the Imperium, who the black-suited warriors are, what the ATAFs were built for... ... and what his purpose in all of it is. Whether he likes it or not. There are three sides to every story. But sometimes the truth is the hardest side to believe.




Attribute of the Strong (Battle for the Solar System, #3)


Book Description

The Pandoran War is nearing its end... and the Senate's Mistake have all but won. In the seven years following on from the Pandoran's push beyond the Mitikas Empire, the allied forces of the Helios Confederation and Independent worlds have fought a bitter series of unwinnable battles, being pushed back further and further as the enemy war machine continued its unrelenting assault against all those that opposed it. And now, leaving a galaxy in ruin behind them, the Pandorans have set their sights on Sol, in preparation to finally complete the Mission. All seems lost. But then, in the final forty-eight hours of the war, while journeying to Kethlan in one last desperate bid to track down the elusive Admiral Jason Zackaria and find a way to end the bloodshed, Simon Dodds makes a discovery that could herald a chance at victory, if only he can convince himself and everyone he loves that the battle is still worth fighting.

Becky is a young woman, taking refuge in her flat in the southern English city of Brighton, along with her friend Abby, an Australian woman she met online. Harry is a member of the Posse, a group of five men enjoying the anarchy of the United Kingdom, smashing and grabbing what they can to survive, caring little for whom they harm along the way.
