After much thought, I've decided to move most chapters off Royal Road and go forward with publishing on Amazon and other sites. A big thanks to everyone who read the chapters of this book in progress and commented. *** The last thing Rommie remembered was dying in the hospital. Then she woke up on an alien spaceship with two of them staring down at her. “You’re here to be trained for your new life,” they told her. “Fighting back against hostile invaders from outside the galaxy.” The aliens who snatched Rommie from her death bed were from an advanced planet in the Milky Way. They traveled the galaxy and recruited fighters from people near death on less advanced planets like Earth that had been invaded but didn’t know it. Rommie completed intense training and thought she was ready for anything. But she wasn’t prepared for what she found in the place she was sent to fight outer-galaxy aliens – the office building of a large Earth tech company. If you’ve ever suspected that your coworkers might have come from another galaxy, then this book is for you. *** You can check out more of my books on Amazon.
