Belaquin

by Robin Overton

Two centuries after Earth was destroyed in one final war of bitterness and senseless hatred, a new planet, Belaquin, is flourishing. It is a haven of peace and a place where technological advances confound even the most intelligent of species. Commercial space travel is commonplace throughout the galaxy and conflicts from long ago have been forgotten. Almost. Gary Kusan and his best friend, Kahn Bengal, are on a tour of duty with the Interplanetary Space Port when new enemies surface and threaten Belaquin's established world order. Nearly decimated by these powerful intruders, Kusan and Bengal are compelled to assemble an untested military force, one they hope is strong enough to ensure their fragile hold on life. Vowing to protect the inhabitants of Belaquin, the crew embarks on a harrowing journey through their deadly past before they can even attempt to make their way toward an unknown future. Robin L. Overton's fantasy epic is filled with post-apocalyptic adventures of danger and discovery where the defense of peace pushes the limits of human endurance.
