Colony - Atlantean Book

Their World Is About To End

Their planet is dying. Invisible waves of radiation bathed the thin, unbreathable atmosphere annihilating the few remaining vestiges of life above. Violent storms and screaming winds scoured the desolate landscape, cleansing away the last traces of man's long history.

The last remnants of a once great society live in massive caverns far beneath the surface of their tortured world. For hundreds of years, they have been imprisoned by black rock and dirt, condemned to an artificial world maintained by their vast technology, never to feel true sunlight upon their skin.

But now the last of the water is drying up. Soon the planet will wither and die. They must leave their home or perish with it.

But where will they go? Will they travel for hundreds of years through the blackness of unknown space, sealed in city-sized ships, to a perfectly suited world or travel mere months to a nearby planet with an eco-system that must be destroyed and rebuilt with the same technology that may have lead to the destruction of their home world?

Uranus, Lord Father of the People, saved them from the annihilation that consumed the surface world and brought them to the cave of the One Tree. Over a thousand years old, he has led his people with an open heart and gentle hand. But buried deep in his aged mind lies knowledge long forgotten that could preserve his kind...or condemn them to a slow, agonizing death.

Cronus, beloved eldest son of Uranus and leader of the Table of Twelve, the ruling council of the People, must set aside his peaceful nature to take on a mysterious, powerful enemy, bent on the destruction of the People. But when he finds the true nature of his adversary, will he still be able to protect his race or will he crumble before an excruciating mental and physical onslaught?

Thus begins the chronicles of the People...the race that gave rise to Earth's first civilization. Colony is more than mere science fiction. It is historical science fiction...perfectly documented in archeology, geology, religion, mythology, and history. The only question is, "Will it happen again?"
