Synopsis
A NOVEL OF INTERSTELLAR DOOMThe demon chunk of hyper-velocity doom sears into the binary-star system and zeroes dead center on the Green World at a blistering 500,000 kilometers per hour. Shimmering with angelic beauty, the comet conceals an ugly core of frozen filth laced with iron and nickel-forged in the ice furnaces of hell. Long anticipating the arrival of the cosmic missile that will rive their world in a massive fusion detonation, the benevolent denizens of the Green World, the Great Sentient Plants, embark on a effort to send Genetic Emissaries to all corners of the galaxy in the hopes of saving their ancient race by intersecting a temperate water planet. Their gamble pays off. Of the millions and millions sent forth and lost in the regions of deep space, two Emissaries vector into the orbit of the Blue Planet Earth. Unfortunately for Earth, the alien invaders are no longer the benevolent Sentient Plants blasted from their home world millions of years before-they have been transformed into evil spawn of deep space through long exposure to cosmic rays. Contact with the DNA of the Blue Planet Earth adds a savage twist to the nightmarish evil of the alien invaders. For thousands of years, the Aliens manipulate early humans to do their bidding as well as tamper with their development in order to create the conditions to transform Earth into a renaissance Green World. To achieve their ends, the Aliens plan the extinction of all creatures-especially humans who they view as minimally sentient and handicapped by a weak and clumsy intelligence. But despite the inferiority of the human race, the Aliens fail in their takeover attempt on the European Continent and make their next attack on the hobby farm of young David and Anneth Trent-the last human obstacles in the way of the alien invaders becoming overlords of the Blue Planet and terraforming it Green. The newly-minted couple expect to face the usual challenges of life-buying a home, building their careers, and fitting into a new community-but not the challenge of being ground zero for an interstellar invasion. The unsuspecting Trents become victims of alien machination and suffer a terrible wounding. Anneth languishes in a vicious coma while David struggles to comprehend the evil that smashed their happy salad bowl.As the alien invasion nears completion, David and Anneth Trent become the last chance for the Blue Planet Earth in a struggle that taxes their strength beyond the limits of endurance. When all is lost, the Trents discover the key weapon in the human arsenal is the bond of love as the climatic battle of interstellar doom rages across the depths of space and time.
