Article 9 is the first book in The Blockade Trilogy, a dynamic science fiction series that realistically dramatizes the early years of space colonization. Set amidst a fascinating tableau of diplomatic intrigue, and spectacular orbital and lunar battles, the story ultimately focuses on the mystery of humanity's first contact with a profoundly powerful alien civilization. The startling revelations that ensue will alter the course of history, giving rise to a new group of heroes. Soldiers, pilots, reporters, students, entrepreneurs and engineers must somehow unite to take up the cause of humanity's survival and courageously reach beyond the solar system to confront dangers and wonders they could never imagine. In Book One we are introduced to the Sol System of the year 2020. The Geosynch Electric Corporation has become the world's dominant mega-conglomerate, a global monopoly over precious electricity only months from its grasp. The world is grateful; only the United States, which still relies on aging natural gas and nuclear power plants, resists. But the U.S. government wants to gain access to Geosynch's space lanes for its Air Force...and some are willing to kill to have it. Into this intrigue arrives reporter Jack Hastings. Accompanied by Air Force officer Minnie Korson, the unlikely duo realize that while the military is indeed pushing hard, the corporate officers of Geosynch are far from innocent. Their space colony, Prometheus-3, is filled with secrets, lies, and a pair of frightening truths: Geosynch is now in the process of weaponizing space with the goal of becoming a sovereign entity, capable of asserting control over planet Earth. And even stranger and more terrifying: a massive and extremely deadly alien intelligence lies dormant at the edge of the solar system, and it is about to awaken...

It's 2079. The Sleer War is over. Earth lost. When Lt. Simon Brooks discovered an alien A.I., he made a name for himself as an officer in the Unified Earth Fleet. And while his tech skills are next level, he has a lot to learn about running a combat squadron. After flubbing a training exercise, Brooks is set to choosing worlds for human colonization, and he thinks he has the perfect candidate: Vega. But rumors and intelligence reports make him think there's something there which the Sleer missed. As Brooks and the crew of UES Gauntlet head to Vega to prove his theory, a Sleer science vessel is already working to claim the prize: an armored military base from a long-forgotten war. Acquiring it for the UEF would put humanity back in the fight to reclaim Earth...and Simon Brooks back in control of his career. But events from neighboring empires threaten to destabilize the UEF, pitting Gauntlet's crew against secret police, government bureaucracy, interstellar trade negotiations, and Sleer merchant guilds. In the face of encroaching chaos, does victory in battle even matter? The next action-packed military Sci-Fi Series from Jon Frater, author of Battle Ring Earth.
