The Dragora

Description

The Galaxy faces a new threat. The Dragora. They don't recognise sapient beings as intelligent. To them, anything alive is food. GalPol, the Galactic Police Force, is asked to investigate four boys who were abducted by a Dragora U.F.O. The Military take them into custody when they return to Earth, and two GalPol cadets are sent to liberate them. A medical check reveals that they carry the spores of the deadly predator. The Dragora intend to invade planet Earth to consume its biosphere. A Policeman's lot is not a happy one. GalPol has to head off a fleet of nanobots that can consume anything, and a very aggressive race, The Terrax, who have a multi-generational prison system that has descendants work off the prison sentences of their ancestors. They could be ignored, but they've kidnapped Perrin, a junior GalPol Cadet, to serve some of the sentence passed on his Grandfather, "Black hearted Joe."
