Publisher Comments:

The Ambassador of Tanteee is abducted by the warring Quat-tar, an action that could bring the galaxy to the brink of war. Network Command calls upon Colonel Raga and his Special Forces team, Pierce Force to rescue the Tanteee statesman. Should Pierce Force fail, the Coalition will lose any chance of gaining the Tanteee's technology and mineral wealth. Network Command exploits this opportunity to send a strike force against the Ormacronis shipyards, the suppliers of warships to the Quat-tar — a move that nearly causes political collapse within the Coalition Assembly — while silently in the background the Directorate of Covert Operations manoeuvres things along to suit their own deceptive needs and ultimate design. They require the Quat-tar's secondary planet for their own. The pressure is on; Pierce Force must gain control of the volatile situation, battle against overwhelming odds and retrieve the Ambassador before Tanteee is invaded and galactic confrontation erupts.

James Marriott?s debut science fiction novel Space Brigade tells the story of Colonel Raga and his elite Special Forces team, Pierce Force, and their attempts to rescue the Ambassador of Tanteee from the clutches of the dreaded warring Quat-tar, without shattering the fragile peace and throwing the galaxy into the chaos of intergalactic war.

The story covers a vast canvas that embraces everything from personal conflicts and swashbuckling action, to the cloak-and-dagger manoeuvrings, and political conspiracies that characterize all vast empires.

Space Brigade is the first instalment in an enthralling science fiction saga that has been likened by some to Star Wars, Star Trek, and Babylon 5.
