Disaster always strikes where we least expect it.
Allegra was a perfectly hospitable world on the outermost edge of the Milky Way. Despite generations of war, Allegra had remained peaceful. And then the unthinkable happened. Countless aliens from beyond our galaxy suddenly arrived, and they seem to be intent on taking the planet. The local garrison held firm for a short while before even more invaders arrived. Now the Coalition is calling on civilian forces from neighboring systems to put down the invaders. Matthew, a 20-year-old fisherman from a hapless fishing village is one of those conscripts. Matthew is lucky enough to get the wrong people mad, and he lands himself in one of the worst spots on the frontlines.
If you’re a fan of The Expanse, Ender’s Game, or Stargate Atlantis, then you’re bound to love The Battle for Allegra.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Life. No, not my life, but all the life I've seen go on around me. All the experiences I've had, all the stories I've read and heard. This book is a sampling of the good, the bad, and the ugly of what I've seen and heard. I've been around some crazy things in my time so I've got a wealth of experiences to write on.
