    About this ebook

    Habb Monnerd walked with a purpose, trying not to let on that he saw them pursuing him. Drones. Habb and his friends, Exa and Beckat, live on Planet Veltren, a member of the Republic-one planet of hundreds.

    The trio stole something. His friends got away, but he is trying to give the security drones the slip.

    Exa and Beckat help by stealing a street transport, Tholen's transport. But they only get so far, before they are stopped by armored officers. Habb is ready to turn himself in, but then something strange happens—they are released. Confused, Habb and the crew are planning on having drinks when they see them, in the sky, alien ships.

    The Araknor have arrived and are attacking the planet!

    There is a safe place, a bunker, but they need to traverse the dangerous terrain that is the city. Can Habb and his friends make it to safety?
