  Fall of Knight - Sir Ian’s Plan...

  Fall of Knight by A. Bertram Chandler - Sir Ian's proposal shocked them all. They were spacemen. This was not a thing that they'd know how to do. 
  It is customary for the spacemen serving in the Federation's star ships to sneer at the titles bestowed, with a lavish hand, by the Kingdom of Waverley upon its spacefaring subjects. An officer who rises to become Master of one of the Empress Class vessels equivalent to the Federation's Alpha Class-is invariably, after a short period of probation, dubbed Knight. His Chief Engineers-Reaction and Interstellar Drives-usually are given the title of Esquire, as is the First Mate. There are quite a few Dames among the senior Pursers and Catering Officers. 
  A spaceman is a spaceman, however, no matter what fancy handle he has to his name, He has to know his stuff, otherwise he would not be where he is. He has to be efficient, otherwise he would never wear upon his shoulders the four gold stripes of captaincy. So it was with Captain Sir Ian MacLachlan Stuart, Master of the interstellar liner Empress of Skye. When things went wrong he coped, and nobly, and saw to it that his officers coped.

  Mars the Warning 
  Book 6 of 6 – the reckoning 
  This final story in the series I have written is summarized below; 
  Six months after humanity's retreat from Mars, crystalline ships materialize around Earth in silent siege. Dr. Lin Mei deciphers their ultimatum: Depart the solar system or face annihilation—not as vengeance, but as cosmic stewardship. While General Drake advocates futile resistance, Lin orchestrates the Exodus, a desperate evacuation of 50 million aboard prototype starships. Billions are left behind as Earth's systems collapse under Martian-induced blackouts. The Martians dismantle orbital defenses with terrifying precision, proving resistance impossible. Lin's final message—"We understand. We will not return"—echoes into the void as humanity flees. Decades later, on distant Kepler-186f, Lin watches the first post-exodus generation play, humbled but hopeful. The Martians, having preserved Earth as a warning, vanish into cosmic silence. Humanity's reckoning ends not with extinction, but with exile—a second chance to evolve beyond conquest, under alien suns.  
  I do hope you enjoy this sixth instalment, and its only $3. 
  the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 plus minutes sets the scene, so to speak, this is heavy metal first but give it a chance and you will be surprised (I felt the martian beings would be extremely angry over humans trying to steal their planet hence the sound) ends with a warning sound music track like an alarm, 1 minutes plus.  
  The book itself runs to about 35 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.  
  I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
