Alien Alliance; Stolen

By Maxine Millar

This is an account of the theft (plagiarism) of my eBook Alien Alliance, how this was partially resolved and what to do if this happens to you or someone you know. Also, how to reduce the chances of this type of theft, some information as to the legal issues and hints as to how to 'prove' ownership. I have some suggestions for the websites as to how to police this as it is a growing issue, not only for written material but also for images.
It is also a brief description of the series and what is coming next.
