Book Description:
The much awaited sequel to
Frontier Incursion.
The Garsal have landed and
Frontier has changed forever. Now Shanna and her friends must master their new
gifts that will enable them to seek out the alien invaders before they enslave
her world.
On the plateau the Council under
Tamazine (the Senior Councillor) allies with the Starlyne race. Only united do
the Scouts, their starcats, and the Starlyne have any chance of surviving, but
Tamazine's distrust of the alliance creates a fatal weakness.
Below, the Garsal plot. They need
a new pool of human slaves to expand their empire, but first, they must locate
the humans already on Frontier and subdue them. Time is running out for both
invader and settler, and the outcome hangs in the balance.

Chapter
One
SHANNA ran. Insectoid limbs
scythed through the vegetation behind her, and red beams slashed past on either
side, scorching as they grazed her skin. Her feet seemed mired in mud, and her
pack dragged her backwards, overbalancing her towards the six-limbed creatures
that dogged her steps. She flung her head frantically from side to side,
desperately seeking her starcats. Where were Storm and Twister?
Ahead of her, she saw Allad
stumble and fall, the tall scout’s body a smoking ruin as the beams sliced
across him. Satin snarled and leapt at the invaders, only to perish in turn.
Where were the others? What had happened to them? Still alone, Shanna struggled
on, forcing one leaden leg after the other. She tried to discard her pack, but
the straps refused to loosen, and then she stumbled over the first body. Storm.
His fur was burnt and his eyes staring, and she burst into tears, sobbing as
she ran, wanting to do nothing more than stop and cradle him, yet unable to do
so for fear of the aliens hunting her. The tears threatened to blind her, but a
voice, screaming from ahead, spurred her on.
Her breath was like fire in her
throat, and now she could hear the sounds of offworld footsteps only seconds
behind her, while a mound in the vegetation ahead told the tale of another
body. Frantically she tried to change her course, but her heavy legs refused to
turn and she almost fell as she tried to hurdle the still form. A plaintive
“No!” burst from her lips as she recognised the familiar cadet insignia and
name on the sleeve of Verren’s bloodstained uniform.
