      The FirstLord Chronicles, Prequel 1

      A courageous scientist dares to tell the terrifying truth about the alien menace that threatens his homeworld

      Date: approx. 15,000 BX

      On the cold dark asteroidal fringes of Wah’Zesh, a star system far from any known civilization, Xev-Kah-Choh finally found what he’d been seeking.

      He found the Destroyers, a legendary race of genocidal aliens.

      Now he knew with total certainty that they were real, and not just a scary fantasy dreamed up by veteran space travellers telling tall stories …

      He had heard the frigate’s distress call two minutes ago while in VwahSpace. Without hesitation he had Dropped into ChehSpace to investigate, then immediately shut down his ship’s engines, hoping the Destroyers wouldn’t notice his tiny vessel. Hn’Thaah’Hal, don’t let them see me! he fervently prayed.

      Hardly daring to breathe, as if the aliens would be able to detect even that, he observed the terrifying drama being played out on his cockpit’s main screen, his ship’s cameras focused on the enormous Destroyer ship pursuing the frigate from his homeworld’s navy.

      Calling all friendly ships in this region of space! came the repeated distress call, the captain’s tone of voice expressing her rapidly mounting fear. "This is the J’Shooni warship Deh-Vah. We are being attacked by a powerful alien vessel of unknown origin. We urgently require assistance!"

      Xev wished he could help them, but they were beyond help. And if he responded to their call, it would merely guarantee his own death along with theirs. He knew the best thing he could do was to record these events and then get away alive, so he could warn his people about this world-killing alien menace that lurked in the vast interstellar voids far beyond J’Shooni space.

      He watched, horrified, as the alien ship – a bizarre and ugly tangle of gargantuan irregular structures – slowly but surely drew closer to the teardrop-shaped little frigate. Why didn’t the Deh-Vah try to escape into VwahSpace? Presumably its interstellar drive had been crippled.

      When it came, the end of the chase was brutal and quick. The alien ship’s weapons locked on to the frigate, despite all its frantic evasive manoeuvres. In mere seconds, the J’Shooni vessel was shredded
