When the Sky Fell (2009)
Since the dawn of time, an ancient evil has sought complete and unquestioned dominion over the galaxy, and they have found...us.
The year is 2217 and a fleet of stellar cruisers led by Commander Frank Yamane has amassed at Mars to make a stand against humanity's greatest threat, the Deravan armada. Outnumbered, outclassed, and outgunned, Yamane's plan to stop them fails, leaving all of Earth at the mercy of an enemy that has shown them none.
Faced with the planet's imminent destruction, Commander Yamane has no choice but to seek the help of the Antarans, an alien civilization he had defeated in a war a decade before. Though they have every reason not to come to Earth's rescue, Yamane sets forth on a desperate journey to the Antaran home world, knowing that the survival of mankind is hanging by a thread.

What does the cover tell you?

Judging a book by its cover is a natural and logical tool of every book buyer . Most avid readers will have bought books simply because of their cover art at least a few times in their life. Heck, that's how I found Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, ...

I just finished reading Cormac McCarthy's, The Road. I was moved, terrified, and humbled by this powerful masterpiece. But more importantly, I was given an insight into the heart of man...apart from God...a heart of darkness.

Hey, Brandon! So happy to meet you here at Shoutlife!
I'm looking forward to getting to know you better as I learn more about you and your work. Besides, it's always nice getting to know other authors. This can be a lonely job, can't it!
When you get a minute, I hope you'll pop over to my Shoutlife profile and my web site to see what the good Lord has had me doing since He convinced me to trade my guitar and microphone for a computer.
I pray that He will shower you and those you love with abundant joy and amazing success!
Big warm hugs to you, my new Shoutlife friend!
Eyes on Him,
(1 Corinthians 10:13)
