Then I get here and she’s alive but I don’t know it’s her so I don’t thank her then she’s missing with Cassidy so I still don’t get to thank her. Hopefully she’s not dead again and someday I will get to thank her. That’s if I’m not already in some alien giant’s stew pot. At least they left us some useful ‘odds and ends’ to fight those monsters with.” -Major Naomi MacCaffrey, Acting Director of Logistics, Colonial Ranger Regiment, New Hope Colony, Canada

An alien invasion delayed by bad weather! Threat On The Horizon picks up in 2126, 3 years after the events of Fierce Girls. Since their arrival Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford and Lieutenant Commander Rick Cassidy have cemented themselves in positions of influence within the colony while running the colony’s Logistics Directorate. Ricks daughter Ciara is set to leave for the colony to join her dad after 4 long years of separation. She plans to attend the New Hope Academy, the colony’s only school and one that accepts only the best and brightest students. The long voyage to the colony will be anything but boring. Forces are afoot to stop the starship she’s traveling on from ever reaching the colony. The aliens who have come to remove the humans from the planet, the diminutive Rift and their giant Andoval mercenaries, haven’t shown themselves yet but they are watching the New Hope Colony closely and preparing their invasion force. No rest for the wicked though! Although the alien threat is still unknown to them Molly Pickford, Rick Cassidy and their friends in the Colonial Rangers still have to deal with the planet’s predators and some human predators as well. The colony transport ship Amundsen arrives in the system with 5000 passengers and crew including 500 Colonial Rangers under Colonel Colin Fox. Some very unusual and suspicious clouds hanging over some islands to the south of the Alpha continent come to the attention of the Amundsen’s commander who shares his concerns with Colonel Fox and the Colonial Ranger HQ. Some wonder what, or who, might be behind the strange phenomenon. Students at the New Hope Academy learn who’s going on the girl’s spring internship tour, a tour of the eastern settlements that includes some behind the scenes glimpses of how the colony is run. If only they knew what awaits them!

The countdown to invasion has begun and the New Hope Colony is a long way from home! Opening Shots picks up right where Threat On The Horizon left off. Suspicious activity around some islands south of the Alpha continent has triggered a reaction at Colonial Ranger HQ. Decisions made at Ranger HQ mean that Lieutenant Commander Rick Cassidy and Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford will have to head to the eastern settlements. But first... Major Naomi MacCaffrey, the Canadian officer saved in Nigeria by Molly five years before, checks into the Logistics Directorate! Fifty female students and interns from the New Hope Academy escorted by members of the school’s faculty and staff begin their tour of the eastern settlements. It won’t be long before their transport situation gets complicated by events beyond their knowledge or control. The aliens who have come to remove the humans from the planet, the diminutive Rift and their giant Andoval mercenaries, plan a surprise seaborne invasion of the main eastern settlements. If their fleets can reach their targets on time the humans won’t have a chance. A brief warning cut off in mid-sentence is all that a town unprepared for the coming storm has to go on.

Do you have any idea what it’s like to be trapped in a restroom doorway on a 850-ft-long cargo transport flying sideways through the mountains after being hit by plasma bolts from alien ships way down on the ocean and think you’re gonna die, and it’s a good thing I finished or I would have had my pants down around my ankles, and ha ha very funny, and then and then to be picked up and carried like a rag doll with a broken wrist and then thrown into a crash couch and then have a really handsome naval officer that you know your mom would like jump on top of you just before you crash into a mountain with your nose and mouth full of crash gel foam? OH, MY GOD!” -Ruby McCarthy, age 14, 2nd year student from Canada, New Hope Academy, New Hope Colony, Tau Ceti 4 “Take a breath, blondie! You know you hammered my eyeball with your elbow, right? You’re welcome anyway.” -Commander Rick Cassidy, Director of Logistics, Colonial Ranger Regiment, New Hope Colony

Politics and Operational Planning don’t mix well! Naomi MacCaffrey and her ‘Hot Tub Brain Trust’ propose a new operation to strike at the aliens. Ammunition is low and there are still thousands of ugly giants ready to attack again. There is one container of ammo still sitting in a holding yard but it’s in alien-occupied Southport. When politics overrides the best of plans bad things tend to happen. Feeling left out, the Russian commander of Echo Company, Captain Boris Akulov, lobbies for his government’s representative to persuade General Jamison to let his detachment of Russians lead the raid on Southport. The plan calls for a covert entry, recovery and departure. Jacks Company is still regrouping from their battle with the aliens when a broadcast from New Hope Town tells them about the battle for Winter Haven. Questions have arisen about the aliens who attacked Castillo. It was evident that the alien force that attacked Castillo had come from a fight somewhere, but with whom?

Devastating losses and preparations for the next alien assault. Casualty lists begin to come in and the losses are hard to swallow. A week after the invasion began the alien Rift and their Andoval mercenaries are Intent on seizing the last of the Eastern settlements and have their sights set on Winter Haven. The aliens are confident of victory and head for the northern settlement from the East. Major Claudia Stairs commands the force that stands in their way. It turns out that the Cairo wasn’t the first Ranger aircraft to be shot down by the aliens. Water is in short supply on the downed transport Cairo even with a river of fresh water flowing close. It’s still not clear if it’s safe to go outside. Can Commander Rick Cassidy and Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford turn the New Hope Academy people into an adequate fighting unit before it’s too late?

It’s still the first day of an alien invasion of Earth’s first colony and New Cancun is the next target. Southport is Burning! Will New Cancun be next? It’s September 12, 2126 and the Colonial Rangers in the East prepare themselves for another battle while most of the colony is still in the dark. Outnumbered by nearly 3 to one by giants hungry for human flesh, can they stop the rapidly advancing aliens? Not even two days have passes since checking in to the Logistics department and now Major Naomi MacCaffrey has to take the hot seat in Cassidy’s absence. With thousands of refugees inbound her learning curve will have to be very steep. She’s lucky to have the big Russian, First Sergeant Ivan Kurchenko to help her figure things out. The transport Cairo has crashed in the mountains and Commander Rick Cassidy and Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford have taken charge of the survivors including 50 school girls. These kids are tougher than they look but can Cassidy and Pickford turn these schoolgirls and their surviving teachers into an effective fighting unit before the inevitable attacks by the aliens and or the ferocious predators that live in the surrounding mountains? Who knows how long they’ll have before the aliens come for them? Not knowing their real backgrounds, the handful of other Rangers who survived the crash have to wonder if the two logistics specialists know what they are doing.

The First Day of the alien onslaught isn’t over yet! The Rift offensive against the human defenders of the New Hope Colony has begun. Castillo, Rocky Point and Winter Haven are in the crosshairs and the other shoe is about to drop. Attacks by land, sea and air are designed to overwhelm the human settlements. 20,000 alien warriors and their Rift officers are aimed at Winter Haven alone. The Andoval mercenaries are looking forward to feasting on the bodies of thousands of humans. Their Rift employers want to take possession of the eastern end of the Alpha continent before their Supreme Commander arrives with the second army of mercenaries. Failure isn’t an option for either side. The remainder of the alien force that tried to take the Cairo heads for its next target. In the meantime, the aliens are spotted moving towards Winter Haven. It won’t be long before they get there. Jacks Company is recovering from their own battle with the aliens. Clearing away the dead aliens and the debris of battle from around the ship will take a while.

A gauntlet to run and a race to the top. It’s just over ten days into an invasion by the alien Rift and their Andoval mercenaries and Commander Rick Cassidy and Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford have ramped up the pressure on the students and teachers to see just how far they can push them. Just how fierce are these girls? For Cassidy, Pickford and the other survivors of the Cairo who trapped in a high mountain valley with little hope of rescue the warming early summer weather coincides with the end of the Pickford designed ‘hell-week’ for the students and staff members, now called trainees, from the New Hope Academy. A first victory is celebrated but the alien Rift and their Andoval mercenaries regroup after losing the battle for McKinley Pass and plan for their attack on Winter Haven. Secrets are hard to keep when smart, nosy teenagers start poking around. A catastrophic flood may spell a premature end for the survivors of the Cairo. Mother Nature may do them in before the aliens or predators get a chance The Colonial Rangers realize that guns and bullets aren’t the only weapons they have to use against the aliens If you liked the first books of the Fierce Girls At War series you will love Deluge, the 7th installment of the saga of the ‘fierce girls’ war against the aliens.

We’re more like to starve to death first!” -Master Sergeant Mindy Taylor, shuttle engineer, shot down 2 days before invasion day, Ranger Regiment, New Hope Colony, Tau Ceti 4, Australia

The alien Rift get ready for their summer offensive against the humans at the New Hope Colony. Another Rift airship takes a close look at the crashed transport Cairo; it’s a tempting target. Commander Rick Cassidy and Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford know time is running out and must do all they can to prepare for the inevitable attack. Those school girls they’ve been training have some ideas of their own on how to defend their valley against the aliens. The Marco Polo makes its jump into the Tau Ceti system. Among the 2000 Rangers on the Polo is LT Bridget O’Brien, Rick Cassidy’s eldest sister. His other sisters Nikki and Chloe O’Brien are also planning on going to the colony. The starship Asia arrives in orbit and finally learns that the colony has been under attack. Ciara Cassidy finally arrives on the starship and there’s no way they’re going to keep her on board but her dad Rick Cassidy and aunt Molly Pickford are missing in action. Major Naomi MacCaffrey will have to break the bad news to her. Not their first meeting though. The inevitable day when the aliens come for the Cairo and its survivors is coming fast. 1000 7-foot-tall, Incredibly strong and fast alien warriors against a bunch of school girls. The aliens have a 20:1 advantage and plasma weapons. What chance can survivors of the Cairo really have?

I know the Master Sergeant and I are needed inside to handle the drones, keep the power on and help with any casualties but that doesn’t make me feel any better. These kids really are some fierce girls. I better not let them hear me refer to them as kids though; I’m liable to get kicked where it hurts the most!” -Corporal Damian Carter, cargo engineer, CTL Cairo, New Hope Colony, UK

No more waiting for the other shoe to drop! The Rangers may have won a battle but the war is far from over. The question was: What would Rick Cassidy and Molly Pickford do? The answer certainly would not include asking permission to do what needed to be done. Three weeks into the alien invasion of the New Hope Colony on Tau Ceti 4, Major Naomi MacCaffrey, Captain Zoey Bryant and a group of other officers from the Hot Tub Brain Trust have proposed a raid on the New Cancun Ranger Base to recover material needed for the defense of the colony. A raid behind enemy lines while the aliens lick their wounds and a chance to strike back! It becomes clear that the humans and the aliens have a decidedly different way of looking at things Sometimes you just have to plan for the worst and hope for the best. The alien Rift have located the mountain valley where the Cairo went down. Rick Cassidy and Molly Pickford must step up the training of the students and teachers from the New Hope Academy before the aliens decide it’s time to take the Cairo and eat them all. The cargo supply ship Asia with Cassidy’s daughter Ciara onboard is getting closer to arrival at the colony but is still unable to contact anyone there.

Carnivorous aliens who are intent on eating the human colonists and Colonial Rangers. It’s just two weeks into the alien invasion and the looming Battle of Winter Haven may be the end of the human presence on the eastern end of the Alpha continent. The aliens have shrugged off their loss at McKinley Pass and plan to overwhelm the defenders with their biggest attack yet. Can the aliens be stopped at Winter Haven? Everything may depend upon it. Still unaware that an invasion is in progress, Rick Cassidy’s daughter Ciara has made a strong impression on the Rangers on the starship Asia. Demon wolves have been sighted watching the Cairo. The winter is less than two months away and the wolves will come down once the river and lake freeze over. The girls from the New Hope Academy thought Rick Cassidy was a hero. Wait until they hear about Molly Pickford! Some of the girls have unexpected skills that might contribute to their survival in the future while others are known for their leadership abilities. Major Naomi MacCaffrey turns to some of her housemates for advice. The question of the hour is: What would Cassidy and Pickford do?

Those fights were all outdoors where there was a way for us to retreat; if we had to. Of course we never had to, we always had a plan to win and we always did! There's nowhere to retreat to this time. We practiced fighting inside room to room before we left the valley and we're going to be getting real close to those giants, really, really close! Yikes!" -January Pierson, age 18, squad Two, fourth year student, New Hope Academy, New Hope Colony, USA Commander Rick Cassidy, Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford and Jacks Company have made it to within striking distance of alien-occupied Winter Cove. Early winter bad weather is coming fast and they have no other option now but to take it for themselves. Far to the southeast the grounded transport Moscow, damaged during its bombing run over a huge alien encampment, has a team of maintenance engineers working hard to get the ship back in the air so it can return to New Hope Town but the alien Rift have other plans for them.

The Rangers have reinforcements coming but so do the aliens Things are about to get pretty crowded in the residence that belonged to Rick Cassidy but is now hosting all of the female Rangers officers in New Hope Town.

In their mountain valley Jacks Company knows that packs of demon wolves will be coming soon and they’ll have no choice but to fight those monsters.

The more things change, the more they stay the same, we’ll at least sometimes! 100 years in the future there are still fanatics terrorists who seek to create chaos and mayhem wherever they can, turmoil in Africa, navy ships patrolling off the coasts of conflict ridden countries, and international peacekeeping efforts that don’t always keep the peace. In the jungles of Africa, a courageous, tough, highly competent (and beautiful) Marine Force Recon squad leader named Susan ‘Molly’ Bennett can’t sit by and just watch while some of the world’s most wanted terrorists murder their captives right in front of her eyes. Molly’s actions make her a target that only grows bigger after a fortunate meeting with navy Lieutenant Paul ‘Rick’ O’Brien and his family of extraordinary women and girls including his precocious daughter Ciara. Hunted by teams of assassins O’Brien and Bennett form an unbreakable bond forged under fire that will serve them well as events unfold around them. They and Ciara spend months moving from one not so ‘safe’ house to another as the hunters close in on them. A lack of better options, or any at all, forces them to make a fateful decision that will separate Rick from his little girl for what may be years and will have far-reaching ramifications for the future. Their decision: Self-imposed exile under new identities on an alien planet that is home to Earth’s first extra-solar. There, known as Molly Pickford and Rick Cassidy, they become members of the Colonial Rangers, the international force sent to protect the colony from its native wildlife. They become friends with some of the female Rangers who one day will be the ones whose courage and smarts will determine the survival of the colony in a perilous future that is approaching faster than anyone could know. “I love being a Marine but there are days...We may have a lot of the same problems in 2122 we did a hundred years ago but back then the Gul brothers weren’t paying lots to see my head on a spike! Not that I was born yet but that’s not the point! So, I’m a pretty good shot and Rick is even better. Did I ask daddy Gul and his boys to go on a rampage? No, I didn’t!

The good news is that the Rangers have reinforcements on the way. The bad news is that the aliens do too. Can the Colonial Rangers hold back the aliens long enough for the starship Marco Polo and the 2,000 Rangers aboard her to get there? Things have been mostly quiet since the battles at the end of the summer at the New Hope Colony. The aliens have been licking their wounds and wondering what the humans might do next. The Rangers are also licking their wounds but that doesn’t mean they are standing pat. The Rangers want to strike first but how and where? Maybe the Hot Tub Brain Trust will come up with something. Even so, if an opportunity to hit them back arises, can the Rangers move fast enough to take advantage of it? The weather is changing rapidly, winter is coming. That means the predators known as demon wolves will be coming down from the higher altitudes to find food.

Now that Winter Haven has been lost, the Rangers know the aliens will be coming soon for some of the Western settlements. Commander Rick Cassidy and Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford and their Jacks Company is on the move at last after a planetary year trapped in the mountain valley where they crashed after their transport was attacked by the aliens invading the New Hope Colony. When they begin their long journey across alien occupied countryside, they find that not every physical obstacle in their way shows up on the maps they’re using. The aliens have set their sights on Castillo and Novo Napoli, two of the last settlements still in human hands, but the ‘Hot Tub Brain Trust’ has come up with plans to make them pay dearly for those prizes. Rick Cassidy’s sister Lieutenant Bridget O’Brien has been initiated into the Hot Tub Brain Trust and has been called on to help lay the trap being set for the aliens in Castillo. In the meantime, Captain Olga Kasparova has her own war to wage against the aliens that nearly wiped out her platoon in Southport.

At the same time the new Rift commander General Miltcar has her sights set on taking Winter Haven and the aliens are finalizing preparations for their next attack on the northern settlement, Jacks Company’s expected destination. With no information about what has been going on outside their valley a concerned Cassidy has to decide if Jacks Company should head for Winter Haven as planned or for the much farther away Winter Cove. While those groups are on a possible collision course, the cargo supply ship Asia has made it back to Earth’s solar system with news of the alien invasion of the New Hope Colony that began five months earlier

The aliens are planning to use their captives for the main course at a feast. Captured by aliens when Winter Haven fell, the Rangers and civilian captives are on the move south where a huge alien camp awaits. Commander Rick Cassidy and Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford and their Jacks Company are headed for the ferry terminal on the Clearwater River while trying to avoid being spotted by the aliens during their long journey. The aliens have the remaining human settlements in their sights and Villa De La Montana is in their sights. The starship Australia is hoping to land without interference from the alien ships in orbit. The Rangers aboard include Rick Cassidy’s sister Nicole. Their youngest sister Chloe O’Brien is aboard as well. The starship James Cook and main relief force is getting ready to depart Earth for the colony and Major General Robert Black will be their commander. “It’s bad enough being forced to march our way to be the main ingredient for an alien stewpot but us being stripped down to our bloomers is just a bit much. My neck, back and bum are glowing red and sitting down is a real pain. Next time I get captured by aliens I’ll have to remember not to wear a thong!” -Lieutenant Moira Sullivan, shuttle pilot, Colonial Rangers, New Hope Colony, Ireland.

“I’m so happy to see my parents and my brother again but there’s not a lot to do in New St Louis right now besides taking long walks together along the riverside. Even the gym is full of people so we can’t even use that. There’s a soccer field but no equipment to use, no balls, not cleats, nada. There’s no snow here so we can’t even have snowball fights. I hope we can go back to New Cancun soon, it’s warmer there and maybe we can have a picnic on the beach. My dad wants to know why we still carry our guns wherever we go. It’s probably safe here but the Gunny says that you never know when the aliens might show up without calling ahead first.” Vika Magnuson, age 16, squad 8, Jacks Company, Norway The Colonial Rangers have taken back New Cancun and Rocky Point to go along with New St Louis, and now the Vitus Bering is in orbit and has begun sending down personnel and material. The question now before the Regiment’s command staff is what to do next? The Rangers on the Vitus Bering still don’t have access to their weapons and other gear and the Antarctica with the Advance Relief Expeditionary Force, the AREF, is still a month away. The Rift general captured at New Cancun’s landing field by Jacks Company has answered some of the questions that have been nagging the Rangers since the beginning of the war – Who are they? Why did they attack? Why didn’t they even try to talk to the humans first? The answers to these questions and others has been illuminating and it’s now clear that the aliens, the Rift, know that they have lost but they can’t quit without their army of giant mercenaries, the Andoval, turning on them.

In the West, the Battle of the Bayfront is over and casualties are being treated, but the Rangers won’t get much of a break. Before the day is out, all of the Ranger battalions in New Hope Town will be sent north and east to prepare to meet the oncoming alien ground assault that must be held off long enough to complete the evacuation of the colonial capital. In the East, Commander Cassidy and Gunnery Sergeant Pickford take Jacks Company and the more than 500 Rangers and civilians they have saved from the alien cookpots to New St Louis, 700 miles south of Winter Cove. They hope to find safety there, even if that means taking it from the aliens by force. They can’t stay in Winter Cove any longer; the aliens know they are there now and will be coming back in force soon.

Book 22 of Fierce Girls At War ‘Somewhere To Run To’ finds Commander Rick Cassidy and Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford with Jacks Company in Winter Cove, their hoped-for refuge for the coming winter, along with the nearly 500 Rangers and civilians they rescued from the downed transport Moscow. They know it’s only a matter of time before the aliens pay a visit to find out why the Winter Cove garrison hasn’t answered but with the comm equipment taken from the Moscow they hope to be able to call for pickup before that happens. In the West the aliens are closing in on New Hope Town by sea and ground while efforts continued to evacuate the thousands of inhabitants to the volcano bastions and to the Gamma continent but those bastions aren’t ready to accept so many people yet. An alien fleet is on its way here and my detachment will be front and center waiting for them to show up. My mom’s coming in on the Antarctica with the Advanced Relief Expeditionary Force. She’ll kill me all over again if I get myself killed before she gets here. -Lieutenant Nicole O’Brien, platoon leader in the American detachment of Blade Company Commander Rick Cassidy and Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford’s Jacks Company has rescued the Rangers and civilians who’d been on the besieged transport Moscow and brought them back to the temporary safety of Winter Cove. Their time there could be short however. They know that the aliens would be coming to check on its Winter Cove garrison sooner or later. In the East, alien forces are closing in on the colonial capital New Hope Town and the evacuation of its population begins.

An insurmountable challenge or Fuka’s highlight of the day? The group of deadly, highly trained teenaged school girls commanded by Commander Rick Cassidy and Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford and known as Jacks Company, short for 'Jacks the Giant Killers', and the group of ex-captives they've picked up along the way are still days from their rendezvous with Guy Gilbert's shuttle full of supplies and their food is almost completely gone. To get to their rendezvous they have a mountain to get over first. A group of Rangers hunted into a dead end The MIA Australians under Lieutenant Aaron Harper and Aria Giffords have been on the run from the aliens ever since the shuttle they were in was shot down near Winter Haven the morning the aliens attacked. They are running out of time and an alien hunting party is after them. The Mississippi-like Clearwater River lies up ahead and there’s only one way to get across. Jacks Company is hoping to avoid a fight but there may be no choice in the matter. But first a rendezvous with the stay-behind awaits. "The way some of these Rangers are looking at us you'd think they'd never seen a bunch of teenage girls shoot some aliens in the head before! Well now that I think about it, it does seem a bit unusual, you know?” - Rain Moon, age 18, fourth-year student at the New Hope Academy and assistant squad leader, squad Seven, Jacks Company, US If you liked the first books of the Fierce Girls At War series you will love Sudden Silence, the 19th installment of the saga of the ‘fierce girls’ war against the aliens.

The aliens see an opportunity to take the Colonial Rangers by surprise damage and take inflict some damage without risking too much at once.

“Except for the ones we rescued, most these Rangers have no clue what we’ve been through and what we’ve done and what we can do! If they try sneak into New Cancun’s landing field in the middle of the night, they will get stomped. They should let us do that. The aliens will never know what hit them! Besides, I’d like to add at least one more notch on my crossbow before I retire.” -Montana Hernandez, age 16, squad 4, archer, Jacks Company The colonial capital, New Hope Town, has been abandoned and now West Hills is the last major settlement in the West still held by the human colonists and the aliens intend to change that very soon. The problem for the Rift and their army of Andoval mercenaries now though is that they failed to capture any of the humans, their last hope to gain some leverage before the next starship arrives with reinforcements for the Colonial Rangers. They know they have lost but they have no choice but to continue, the Andoval won’t let them quit. Even with the aliens closing in on the last of the human settlements, things are beginning to shift in the human colonists and Colonial Rangers' favor. While the Battle of New Hope Town was going on, Commander Rick Cassidy, Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford and their Jacks Company plus the other units comprising 'Sixth Battalion' have re-taken the abandoned settlement of New St Louis from the aliens who had moved all their troops from there to the west for their campaign to take New Hope Town. The time for the girls of Jacks Company to be reunited with their families might be coming sooner than later and opportunities for taking back other lost towns are shifting the initiative away from the aliens. The Vitus Bering is just days away from reaching the colony but how they will send their cargo and passengers, including 1800 Colonial Rangers, down from orbit is very much in question now that the main landing field in New Hope Town has been lost. The Antarctica with the AREF, the Advance Relief Expeditionary Force, is just weeks away and they are bringing much more powerful weapons to use against the aliens, exactly what the Rift fear the most.
