Starfighters: Defending Earth
Book I of the Starfighters Trilogy
By Bruce Goldwell
What if the game you mastered was never just a game?
Billy Bronson thought he was just another teenager obsessed with Starfighter, the world’s most advanced virtual reality game. But when he scores high on a time-sensitive mission, he’s invited to Nevada for a tournament—only to discover the truth: the game was a covert training program for Earth’s last line of defense.
The Thrall—a ruthless alien species known for stripping planets of resources—have set their sights on Earth. Bound by Galactic Federation law, no one is allowed to intervene… unless they break the rules. One rebel commander, Harvey, risks everything by secretly preparing a team of teenage gamers to become real Starfighters.
Thrust into a secret interstellar war, Billy and his unlikely crew must master advanced spacecraft, train in real-world combat, and confront the terrifying reality of battle in deep space. With Earth’s fate hanging by a thread, these teens must grow into heroes—fast.
Epic battles. Forbidden tech. A mission that defies intergalactic law.
With gripping action, emotional stakes, and twists that span galaxies, Starfighters: Defending Earth launches a thrilling sci-fi saga where loyalty, courage, and friendship are the ultimate weapons.
Perfect for fans of Ender’s Game, Ready Player One, and Guardians of the Galaxy.
