First Admiral
It’s not easy being an ordinary teenager leading a hazardous and
exciting double life.
The Garmaurians, the most advanced species in the universe, wiped themselves out with a bio-weapon in a senseless civil war. And, in a desperate attempt to protect the secret of the potentially dangerous Trion technology - the ability to manipulate the fundamental particle of the universe - their leader sends one last covert mission to Earth. The mission goes horribly wrong, leaving Billy Caudwell; an overweight, acne-scarred 14 year old, with the Mind Profile of a military genius, a huge battle fleet and a mission to unite the intelligent species of the universe in a Universal Alliance.
With people to rescue, space fleets to battle and villains to defeat, Billy has to overcome his own inhibitions, insecurities and a vicious bully before he can start saving the universe.

Author Bio
The author, William J.Benning was born in
Dumfries (south west Scotland) in 1963. With his 50th birthday fast
approaching, Benning has decided to grow old disgracefully. An intensely
private individual, Benning recently returned to his home town seeking
inspiration for his passion of creative writing. At age 18, Benning left
home to take an Honours Degree in Psychology at Strathclyde University in
Glasgow. He has some very fond memories, and many nights of vague recollection
- which are, on the whole, probably best forgotten (!) - from his student
days. After graduating, Benning had a career "false start"
moving into the world of Pest Control Management. However, after several
unhappy years, he switched tack and took further qualifications in Personnel
Management, carving out a successful and enjoyable career in Human Resources as
well as Learning & Development. Throughout his career, Benning has
worked to support the activities of the British Red Cross.
From his early days as a First Aid Volunteer, he enjoyed working for the organisation which gave him further skills and built his self-confidence. Progressing within British Red Cross, Benning became a First Aid Instructor (Trainer), Assessor and Lecturer plus becoming invoved in training other Trainers and Assessors. Having returned to Dumfries to further his writing career, Benning now lives alone, but has been adopted by four members of the Canine Community. With four dogs in his life - and a newly arrived litter of Tibetan Terrier pups - plus a newly published novel, life is never going to be dull for Benning. William likes his sci-fi, but is also keen on military history and speculative fiction. Among his fiction favourites are Harry Turtledove, the late George MacDonald Fraser, Bernard Cornwell and Clive Cussler. William collects Edinburgh Crystal and has a terrible weakness for malt whisky. He has published his novel First Admiral with Malachite Quills in 2012.
