Homefall: Book Four Of The Last Legion Series - Plot & Excerpts
This was the “gravity well” belief — the fighter on the ground would have to overcome gravity to get his missiles or ships on an equal plane for combat. The basis was from ancient wars, where the man on the clifftop or castle rampart could happily cock a snook and drop heavy things on the attacker below. In fact, it didn’t work out that way in space, since the “gravity well” proponents didn’t bother to consider that any ship bombarding an object on the ground would be in a predictable orbit. All the defender had to do was launch a flock of missiles into the orbit of that ship or satellite overhead, and matters would take their course. Sometimes, the old saw was true, just as sometimes the belief that “the bombers will always get through” was correct. But not often, and certainly not for Bayanti’s attack on Gegen’s stronghold of Ogdai. The fleet held about three AUs off Ogdai, and the elite first wave attacked. Their intent was to take geosynchronous orbits and bombard Gegen’s forces from space, especially his stronghold.
