The Zerot Infestation, Books 1 - 3

Book excerpt: On the planet Preenasette in the Alpheratz system, two countries, Verceti and Trun, are engaged in a three-hundred-year war. The conflict has become sterile and is mainly carried out in space and is of little interest to the occupants of each country who carry on going about their daily lives. Then, an unseen foe (the Zerot) infiltrates the Trun, turning vital governing and military members into their bondservants, forcing them to carry out atrocities and ramp up the war on the planet’s surface as well as in space. The Zerot Cadre has twenty years to bring the world to its knees in readiness for the arrival of a Violation armada that will annihilate all Preenasettians—both Vercetian and Trun. Back in Zerot, three ancient dynasties wager on the outcome of the war and how quickly the Violation armada can complete their deadly task. To them, it is just a game—one more planet removed from existence, like many hundreds before. On Verceti, their system of ruling is under serious threat, so they decide to send their three youngest Royals (in training for the ruling council and referred to as Princes and Princesses, but without any bloodlines) off-world to protect them from repeated assassination attempts. Grace arrives on Earth with her Life Team that will train and look after her. They settle in a manor house in a secluded part of Southern Ireland, but within the team is a spy who alerts the Trun. A Trun battle cruiser is dispatched to Earth to kill the princess if the spy doesn’t. And to add to the princess’s woes, there is a Zerot en route to Earth with similar instructions. Grace will need all her training and the help of many Earthlings if she is to escape certain death.
