PLEASE NOTE: 'The Vassal World' is the second and concluding book of 'The First Exoplanet' series.
In 2056, humankind discovered Gaia, an exoplanet fifteen light-years away. Hopes were high that the long search for a second Earth was over. The Western Global Alliance had the means to get there, but first contact did not turn out as planned. The year is now 2063 and they must deal with the consequences of the ill-fated Gaia missions.
Earth is under siege from the hostile alien fleet in orbit. They now dominate space and have the industrial muscle to maintain their hold. Their objective is clear and uncompromising: the conquest and subjugation of Earth. The inhumanity witnessed on Gaia is disturbing, and a taste of things to come if the invaders prevail.
With humanity’s space forces wiped out, US President, Stephen Powell, must forge an alliance with the Outcasts – an alien race that has already felt the wrath of Earth’s tormentors. They are a culture so different from anything human eyes have ever witnessed. Can these disparate species work together to defeat the vastly superior foe? The Outcasts’ network of spies and sympathizers stretches from the mining colonies of the asteroid belt, to the space stations and settlements of Gaia. Can Jake Sorensen and his team of operatives infiltrate Gaia via the smuggling routes that exist? Do they have what it takes to carry out their crucial orders and survive the mission?
The only strategic weapons left on Earth are a handful of nuclear subs, which escaped the orbital assault. The USS Esperanza is the latest generation of sub, a super-weapon of her time. Captain Nathan Carter and his crew must rise to meet the ultimate challenge and head off the enemy offensive before it’s too late. As the aggressor masses for a planetary invasion, can the malignant regime be brought to heel?
In the gripping conclusion to 'The First Exoplanet', how can humanity survive the onslaught and stop Earth becoming a vassal world?
