Overview
Nua'll
The Omnian expeditionary fleet sails for the faraway place they called “the wall.” The worlds of humankind have consolidated their resources to create a powerful armada to confront the alien federation. During the Omnians’ previous encounter with an alien fleet at the wall, the Nua’ll comm sphere spoke to them in multiple languages. When the messages were deciphered by the SADEs, humans’ digital friends, the Omnians realized two things.
One, they would face a vast empire composed of hundreds of races, and, two, the Nua’ll were not the leaders of the federacy. They had spoken of masters. Multiple challenges faced Alex Racine, the Omnian leader, to cobble together the fleet he required. The Confederation, which was composed of many colonies, could produce ships, but most of its people lacked the will to fight. Haraken and New Terra were single worlds with limited production capability, but they produced individuals, who were anxious to deliver a blow against the federation.
A debate raged over whether humans should flee, wait, or fight the onslaught of giant spheres, which ravaged humankinds’ worlds, and the probes which spied on them. It was Alex Racine’s choice to confront the master race. Anything less was only delaying the inevitable. The Omnians knew little about what lay beyond the wall, where the federation’s enormous empire lay, and Alex knew he couldn’t defeat the federacy in a long series of protracted engagements.
He had a plan to attempt to conquer and divide. He just needed to find the right sentient race for his idea to work.
Readers
What readers say about the Silver Ships series.
Reader quote goes here. Two or three sentences is the right length: long enough to say something specific about the books, short enough to read at a glance while the column is moving.
Fourth placeholder. Star count is set per card, so a four-star quote renders correctly if you want a mix.
Seventh placeholder. Aim for four cards per column so nothing repeats inside one pass on a tall screen.
Tenth placeholder. A line about finishing the series or waiting on the next one is worth more than a rating.
Second placeholder quote. Replace these cards with permission-cleared quotes, or with short attributed excerpts that link back to the original review.
Fifth placeholder. Editorial blurbs from other authors work here too, and those Scott owns outright.
Eighth placeholder. Mixing short and long quotes gives the columns an uneven rhythm, which looks less manufactured.
Eleventh placeholder. Audiobook listeners are a distinct group here, given 42 of 44 titles are narrated.
Third placeholder. Quotes longer than roughly eight lines are clamped, so keep them tight or the ending gets cut mid-sentence.
Sixth placeholder. The three columns run at different speeds, which is what stops the wall reading as one moving block.
Ninth placeholder. Name the book in some of the quotes. It does more work than a generic compliment.
Twelfth placeholder. Keep the attribution honest: display name and where it came from, nothing invented.
Placeholder quotes. Swap in permission-cleared reader quotes or short attributed excerpts before launch.
