J.'s Writing

Citadel: First Colony (Science Fiction & Fantasy)

1 chapters — updated Feb 10, 2012 08:10pm

Description: After fifty years of war, humans and the plant-like Esool have made peace. Both species have agreed to use the Lightrail, a relativistic miracle, to travel to distant worlds and explore the resources and wonders of the universe. But the peace is still new, and not everyone is onboard. Earth First is an organization dedicated to preserving the purity of humanity, and they are willing to go to extremes to do it. Including pulling humanity back from the distant colonies, and closing the door on space travel forever. And out among the stars, prejudice lives on. Class distinctions between hard-working Blue Collars, educated but often arrogant White Collars, and the soft, wealthy, and entitled Colonists have created a mounting tension that may be a bigger threat than any alien species. It is against this backdrop that a colony of humans, reluctantly led by a single Esool captain, crash lands on a planet that holds far too many secrets. Survival may be impossible. Citadel: First Colony is book one of the Citadel Trilogy.
