Cerberus
About this ebook
The Spinner System is located near the edge of Human Space. It is far away from the regular trade routes that are frequented by humans and other races, but it is still close enough for merchant ships and freighters to visit. There is not much beyond the Spinner System, except for a few rogue suns.
Cerberus is home to seven million humans and three million Sartans. For centuries, humans and Sartans lived in peace. There was no need for either race to have an army. That all changed with the appearance of a ruthless invader from the other side of the star-gate. Without an army, the humans and Sartans are defenseless against this brutal alien race.
The Solar Union is sending Major Ethan Wolf of the ISS and Captain Gorini of the Anorian Special Investigation Service to Cerberus to find out what exactly is going on.
They discover that the peaceful existence of humans and Sartans is just an illusion. Freeland is run by gangs and the Sartans are exploited by a powerful company from Hyperion. The Union has no choice but to send in the military to deal with the invaders and the Cartel.

About the author
Herbert Grosshans is a Canadian writer. He lives near Winnipeg, Canada. Already as a young boy, he was a voracious reader. He loved the old legends about Nordic gods and immortals. Thor with his war-hammer was his favorite. Stories about Kings and knights and Vikings, giants and dwarfs, wizards and witches fascinated him. When he was fourteen, he was introduced to Science Fiction. He was hooked after reading his first story. However, he also loved Westerns and Crime novels. He pretty much read everything, no matter what genre, but Science Fiction and Fantasy became his favorite. It wasn’t long before he began writing his own short stories. He also tried writing a novel. When he completed his first full-length novel ‘The Galactics’ he knew he could do it. That novel is still hiding inside an envelope in a closet and will probably never be seen or read by anyone else.
Later on in life, he concentrated mostly on writing and didn’t read as much as he used to. He wrote his stories during his lunch hour into a scribbler. At home, he pounded away on his old manual typewriter. He didn’t care too much about spelling and proper sentences. As long as the story in his head was written and put on paper.
That all changed with the arrival of computers. Suddenly, it became much easier to make changes and correct mistakes. It also created more opportunities to become published.
He published his first novel ‘Daughter of the Dark’ in 2006 with Midnight Showcase. It was the first book in his series The Xandra. The series has since grown to eight books.
So far, he has published over thirty books. The majority are, of course, Science Fiction, but a few are Detective stories and Thrillers. No Westerns—yet. Most of his stories contain Erotica.
He also published one non-fiction book with Amazon under the title ‘The Published Writer’, a guide on how to get published.
His books are available from his publisher Melange Books, LLC. To find out more about Herbert’s books, please, visit his blog.
