A Prayer for Earthrise #3
East of Earth
United we stand. Divided we fall.
We stood together once. United. Proud. Humanity was one. Together we colonized the stars. Together we built an empire.
That was a long time ago.
Today humanity is fractured. Earth and Mars clash in war. Brother fights brother. Our fleets once faced the stars. Today they face each other in battle. Our empire frays. Hearts that once blazed with courage now burn with hatred.
Meanwhile the true enemy draws ever nearer.
The shoal. A migration of aliens. A swarm that craves our world. They are at our doorstep. And we cannot see them.
Adam and Eve were banished east of Eden. On Earth, we built a new Eden. Yet now we might fall again. Should we be banished east of Earth, we might never find our way home.
We must unite. Or we will fall.

The shoal is coming. In days, not years.
Earth is not ready. Mars is not ready. The shoal doesn't care. For years the shoal has been ready. Travelling through space, the shoal is hungry for flesh. Instead of preparing to meet the Hyds, Mars and Earth are at war with each other. President Cory Hart is in his bunker deep beneath Jerusalem fighting against Einav and her ragtag army from Mars, Jupiter and the asteroids - from distant Bahay, from anywhere fighting the tyranny of Hart. Einav, Marco and Addy lead the fight, defending Mars against the overwhelming odds. Earth's fleet is newer, bigger, better armed with three times as many ships, ten times as many cannon, a hundred times as many marines. They should be preparing for the Hyds, instead they waste their resources on a civil war. Cory Hart is a madman, with only one goal - destroying former president of Earth, Einav! Meanwhile, the shoal is closer!
Characters galore! Characters to love, characters to hate! Characters you want to hold tight and reassure them that everything will be okay. Characters you want to hold tight, to squeeze some sense into them, to squeeze them to death if that's what it takes! Can Cory Hart be more despicable? Turn the page! Can our ageless trio defeat Hart and prepare for Erafel and the Hydlords so close now!?
The combat scenes are all encompassing, engulfing the cosmos with blood and thunder. The storyline twists and turns, banishing any thoughts of stopping on the next page! Turn aside thoughts of sleep, Marco and Addy need help! Sleep tomorrow, Einav's in trouble again! Dozens of Easter Eggs sprinkled like toppings on sugar cookies through the pages! Hints of things to come. Hints of characters long lost. Lives ended. Friends gone. Enemies twisted and battered, but back in your face again! And still, the shoal comes closer. This is a fantastically great read!

WOW!
The battle for Earth continues. President Hart,hungry for power, builds a stargate to allow the Shoal through. His greed continues and he opts to sacrifice Mars with it millions of people, allowing himself to think he is saving Earth. A great battle ensues, but Earth is unaware, and does not assist. Can put Methuselah save beloved earth? Non stop action. Could not put it down.
