Announcing THE ATTRIBUTE OF THE STRONG

Stephen J Sweeney — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 10:54:14 GMT

THE ATTRIBUTE OF THE STRONG, the final book in the BATTLE FOR THE SOLAR SYSTEM trilogy, will be available at the end of 2012.

Set 7 years after THE THIRD SIDE, THE ATTRIBUTE OF THE STRONG sees the allied forces of the Helios Confederation and the Independent Worlds facing the reality of conceding the war to the Pandoran army, who have bulldozered their way across the galaxy, leaving nothing but ruin in their wake. And now they are approaching Sol, preparing to destroy Earth and finally completing their 12 year Mission.

All seems lost, but in the final 48 hours of the war, Simon Dodds makes a discovery that could herald a chance at victory, if only he can convince himself and everyone he loves that the battle is still worth fighting.

THE ATTRIBUTE OF THE STRONG will be available from Amazon Kindle Store, Apple iBookstore, Barnes and Noble, Sony eBookstore, Kobo and Diesel Books.

"This book is what a book part of any series should be, which is to have good pace, interesting characters and plot, throw up a handful of questions and leave you wanting more."
