'Tipping Point in the Alliance War' is a military science fiction novel, which takes place in the distant future. Earth is the headquarters for the Alliance Systems coalition of galactic civilizations. The Confederation is a competing group of galactic civilizations intent, on destroying all of the Alliance Systems people and planets. The Alliance is on the brink of collapse, because of the Confederation’s superior technology and size. The novel follows a single Alliance Navy vessel, as it fights battle after battle, in an endeavor to bring the secrets of the Confederation’s technology home, to Alliance Navy Headquarters. The novel is action packed, but also includes the planning and preparation necessary for military success.

About the Author
Science Fiction was a childhood love, which lay dormant, but did not die. Most of the writing, which I have done, has been technical literature. Transitioning from technical literature, to science fiction, requires a rethinking of 'purpose', and a different emphasis on 'detail'.
One of my struggles, in writing this book, has been in finding a balance between 'battle scenes', and the 'planning and preparation', which is the 'foundation', for military success. Hopefully, I have found that balance.
'Tipping Point in the Alliance War' is my first science fiction effort, and took 3 or 4 months to complete - with about half of that time, being spent, in rewrite and editing. It has been an enjoyable experience, and I look forward to doing another.
My background is in Engineering (BSEE), and Art (BFA in painting). My work experience ranges between engineering and art. Engineering has paid for the essentials of living, and art is the reason to live. You can see some of my artwork at terrylefler.com. You can contact me directly at terry@terrylefler.com.
