ORLANDO, Fla. - s4story -- Indie author Bruce Goldwell has announced a special limited release of his Starfighters Defending Earth trilogy, offering fans and collectors a rare opportunity to secure one of only 100 autographed and individually numbered collector editions.

This exclusive release includes all three books in paperback format, each personally signed by the author and accompanied by a Starfighters Academy Founders Supporter Certificate. The collector sets are being made available through a unique auction-style system designed to reward early and strong supporter participation.

Unlike traditional auctions, this multi-winner format allows readers to secure their place by purchasing a collector set at a base price of $100. From there, supporters may choose to increase their total contribution, which directly impacts the numbered edition they receive.

"At its core, this is about giving readers a chance to be part of something early," said Goldwell. "The lower-numbered copies will go to those who step forward first and strongest. It adds a collector element that makes each copy more meaningful."

At the close of the auction, all qualifying orders will be ranked by total contribution. The highest supporter will receive Copy #1, followed by the next highest, and so on through all 100 copies. In the case of matching contributions, earlier orders will receive priority in number assignment.

The auction officially ends April 30 at 8:00 PM EST, at which point final rankings will be locked and fulfillment will begin. All collector sets are limited to U.S. shipping addresses and are expected to ship within four to six weeks after the auction closes.

This release is part of Goldwell's broader Starfighters Academy initiative, which blends science fiction storytelling with real-world thinking, leadership, and mission-based learning concepts.
