The Sol-Bect War

Six years after the Sol-Bect War's end, peace is still elusive. While the Bectolothian home world is torn apart by civil war, their military ignites another conflict with the Terrans. A Bect spy betrays Peter McCabe, and Terran and Bect forces converge on Vale-4. With war on every front, spies on every side, and the lines of friendship so blurry, how can Peter know who to trust?

The Terran Shift Anthology, Volume 1, the first collection of stories set exclusively in the Terran Shift universe, contains seven science fiction stories from five authors set in all four eras -- from Bio-Tech dystopia to The Sol-Bect War era. This anthology includes The Sol-Bect Setup, the thrilling lost chapter in which Peter McCabe visits the past to lay the groundwork for his future.

The war against the Bect rages on. Humanity is now on the offensive. The Bect send larger forces against us. Our weapons and tactics may have improved, but our forces are beginning to dwindle. And the strange newcomer who showed us a path to victory, Peter McCabe, is Missing-In-Action and presumed dead. Can the human war machine complete what he started?

Humanity is near the tail end of an intergalactic war that war we are losing. After a rough skirmish, a strange object is picked up by the United Earth carrier Ticonderoga. Within, the ship's scientists find something even stranger: a man, cryogenically frozen and shot into space more than 300 years ago. The fact that he's still technically alive raises questions of Fate's hand in life and war.
