The Earth Gods Are Coming (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
"That's a foolish name for them, if you like!" Dick Myrtle looked across the long room at his chief. "Why so, Gus?" "Gives them too much power. It's a bogey name, means far more than it says. They are aliens, coming from some godforsaken planetary system somewhere out in the Galaxy, shooting up our ships and generally creating mayhem. There's nothing we can't handle in that situation, pressed though we are." He put a hand to the jewel in his ear. "We ought to have heard from Baylis by now," he said fretfully. "Perhaps Admiral Baylis' task force hasn't found that latest contact," Myrtle said smoothly. "Well, he ought to have done. We've lost twenty peaceful traders out there in a month. Something's doing it. It can't all be mice." A little silence ensued in this wide, workmanlike room in the heart of the CDB building. Since the aliens had begun their open attacks upon Solarian shipping in the starlanes, the space navy had been stretched beyond its capacity.
