    About this ebook

    At a certain stage of civilization, a species is vulnerable to certain types of attacks on their home planet. Earth and mankind have, or are entering that stage. The species that finds Earth first may have ulterior motives to keep their contact secret. And I’m not talking about the usual reasons.
    In chess different pieces have different values. Even the lowest pawn, skillfully used can cause the opponent to react in certain ways. I’ve always considered the reaction I get when I move a piece, to determine its value at that particular time.
    This very short Science Fiction story could demonstrate where a pawn gains the value of a queen, when skillfully utilized.

    Stephen Brandon

    I've loved westerns and science fiction since I picked up my first book at the public library. I've been writing on my computer for years. I never planned on any of my stories being published, just to be read by myself, family, and friends. The base journal is on forty spreadsheets with links to about a thousand files of short one day paragraphs plus other stories. {My claim to fame, written by someone else. Thanks.} "As an earthbound retiree, Stephen writes mostly science fiction and short stories. He is a voracious reader and has written for a few years, publishing his stories on Smashwords."
