The countdown to invasion has begun!

Opening Shots picks up right where Threat On The Horizon left off. Suspicious activity around some islands south of the Alpha continent has triggered a reaction at Colonial Ranger HQ but they still don't know if there's anything to it or not.

Fifty female students and interns from the New Hope Academy escorted by members of the school's faculty and staff begin their tour of the eastern settlements. It won't be long before their transport situation gets complicated by events beyond their knowledge or control.

Decisions made at Ranger HQ mean that Lieutenant Commander Rick Cassidy and Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford will have to accompany a major shipment of weapons to the eastern settlements. But first...

Major Naomi MacCaffrey, the Canadian officer saved in Nigeria by Molly five years before, checks into the Logistics Directorate.

The aliens who have come to remove the humans from the planet, the diminutive Rift and their giant Andoval mercenaries, plan a surprise seaborne invasion of the main eastern settlements. If they can reach their targets on time the humans won't have a chance.

Book 3 "OPENING SHOTS" begins the alien invasion of the New Hope Colony in the Fierce Girls At War series.

"OH, MY GOD! Do you have any idea what it's like to be trapped in a restroom doorway on a 850-ft long cargo transport flying sideways through the mountains after being hit by plasma bolts from alien ships way down on the ocean and think you're gonna die, and it's a good thing I finished or I would have had my pants down around my ankles, and ha ha very funny, and then and then to be picked up and carried like a rag doll with a broken wrist and then thrown into a crash couch and then have a really handsome naval officer that you know your mom would like jump on top of you just before you crash into a mountain with your nose and mouth full of crash gel foam? OH, MY GOD!"
-Ruby McCarthy, age 14, 2nd year student from Canada, New Hope Academy, New Hope Colony, Tau Ceti 4

"Take a breath, blondie! You know you hammered my eyeball with your elbow, right? You're welcome anyway."
-Commander Rick Cassidy, Director of Logistics, Colonial Ranger Regiment, New Hope Colony
