Volume 1 GCBook 4
(Volume 1 GCBook 4 )
Foreword by the Author
This is the first volume in the Terra Cycle .
The last volume Xeno Activity concludes the Xeno Activity Cycle .
'Children of Earth is chronologically the 4th book of the 37 volumes that make up the novels I have written so far in the Galactic Chronicles Universe .
This universe of mine has grown over the many years and has attracted many readers and friends from all over the globe. If you ever wanted to know more about a certain species or futuristic / alien term simply search for the galactic chronicles GalNet wiki online and chances are that one of the 14,000 plus pages will offer you more back ground.
The wiki contains under the topic "Old Stories " many old versions of my stories as they first appeared on fictionpress.com , for those who like to read or see how it all started and progressed.
Children of Earth, is a story of origin of sorts. While the previous volumes talk about how the Guardian of Earth came to be. Why the Vrill convoluted with the Nazis or why Operation High Jump was suddenly abandoned. This volume before you is a stand alone story as much as it is an entry point into the Galactic Chronicles universe.
For my long time fans it is hopefully a joyful read and a view back in time, while I have the same hopes for all those readers picking up one of my books for the first time.
It begins in a time when Earth and most of its inhabitants are still blissfully ignorant about everything that occurs in outer space.
In this time, no one really knows about Earth . There are no Union battleships , no Union Marines . Neither Richard Stahl , nor Obrock McElligott have been born yet. No one really thinks much about these primitives from Earth. However there is a bunch of Terran teenagers , that are about to chance that...
This book was written under very special circumstances and a very strange time of my life. I might get into the details of that in a future blog post and mention some of it on my Facebook page.
With this is I welcome you to the Galactic Chronicles universe and hope you enjoy your stay.
At Astra, to the Stars,
Yours truly
