Homeworld: A Military Science Fiction Novel - Plot & Excerpts
The Alestrair system contained a direct Null Point to Earth and was a much preferable location to gather the ships he would be taking under his command. This was a strategically better plan than the Null Point at Mars where the Coalition had left a taskforce to prevent just that from happening. Though modern medicine had stamped out the health hazards of smoking, Casa had given up the habit at the request of his wife three years back. Time had done nothing to dull the sharp edge of longing he felt for a cigar in a moment like this. The fate of his home world, perhaps the entire Republic itself, rested uneasily upon his shoulders. Coffee was his one weapon against his old addiction when it came at him this hard, and in the face of the level of stress he felt, it was failing. The assembled fleet already contained three times the number of ships that had tried and failed to hold Earth against the massive Coalition force. In spite of the massive amounts of military hardware, they had been swept aside as if they were nothing more than children’s toys from an overturned toy box.
