An Alien Rubicon — Jorge Perez-Jara

Lieutenant Colonel Myles Webb of the American Federated States
Space Forces and a small Fleet of human ships are preparing to
journey to the Centauri Star system where the Cheeb'Arr lurk and
now call home. But he will not make the trip alone, since man's ally,
the Hee'Umana, will also join him in facing off with the enemy. The
odds of them being victorious against their foe grows larger as time
passes, since their hesitation merely gives the Cheeb'Arr ample time
to reinforce their position.
As the small Terran Battle Fleet and its allies are about to depart
from the Sol system, the Cheeb'Arr make their presence known once
more. But this time they employ new tactics, which man and their
ally the Hee'Umana have never seen before. Now the Fleet must
postpone their journey to the Centauri system until they are certain
that the fortifications scattered throughout the Sol system are
sufficient to halt the new Cheeb'Arr attack. If the newly fortifications
are not sufficient, they must remain behind and help eliminate the threat.
But as Lieutenant Colonel Webb and the Terran Battle Fleet battle
the presence currently within the Sol system, they are unaware that
there are other plans in the works by the enemy. The Hee'Umana is
harden to face the unknown and they suspect a trap, when they
witness the Cheeb'Arr's new tactic. But will that be enough to
prepare them for what is about to come?
