October 2022, eight weeks after first contact, negotiations in Cork between Earth and their extra-terrestrial visitors haven't got further than deciding who sits where at the conference.

In Oxfordshire, tourists flock to the exclusion zone set up around the crashed battle-station. Nearby, in the newly named RAF Space Command, Harold Godwin has settled into his new role as a liaison for the alien federation, known as the Valley. Aside from giving occasional tours to visiting dignitaries, the work isn’t arduous until the search for a missing dog leads to the capture of a hostile alien mercenary.

Another attack imminent seems imminent, and Earth increasingly looks like the spark that will reignite the war between the Valley and the Voytay Empire. The best hope for peace is a former spy, now a deeply spiritual hermit, living in self-imposed exile on Ireland’s Atlantic coast. When Serene and Tempest are sent to collect her, they find the key to an ancient mystery that links the recent attack, the discovery of a spaceship on the outskirts of London in 1895, the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and a tunnel beneath the ruins of Nineveh that predates any calendar.

Alien anchorites and ancient prophecies collide as the race to stop an intergalactic war continues.

In 1888, fleeing starvation in Ireland, Sean found work as a guide to the Whitechapel slums for the publisher of grisly penny dreadfuls. Not even the most lurid of those tales was as outlandish as his encounter with visitors from another world. When they take him back to their home-world, first contact with a human will change their society forever.

By 2020, there is a permanent, but secret, non-terrestrial presence on Earth. Negotiating our planet’s membership in the alien federation, and concealing its existence, is the responsibility of the UN. When the pandemic begins, Earth enters lockdown, and our solar system is quarantined.

While technically not a prisoner, Serene is no more able to leave the tunnels below the alien embassy in Germany than any of her human cousins locked down above ground. Keeping busy with janitorial work, one day blurs into the next until she stumbles onto evidence of an alien smuggling ring. What begins as a hunt for a thief transporting sacred Earth artefacts off-world leads to a two-thousand-year-old mystery that threatens to bring war to the entire galaxy.

By the summer of 2022, Harold Goodwin needs a holiday. As camping is all his bookseller’s salary can afford, he opts for a ramble through the countryside that inspired the novels he so loves. Whether by chance or prophecy, a poor choice of campsite thrusts him into the middle of an alien plot to make Earth the next proxy-battleground in a century-old war.

Brawl of the Worlds is a light-hearted tale of intergalactic war and planet-shaping prophecies. As booksellers rise, and empires fall, the hidden history of the galaxy will be revealed. Based on real events.
