In a time when the schemes of man are set to bring catastrophic failure upon the human race, Destiny stands poised to give humanity one last chance at redemption. Over the last 12,500 years, a devastating disease has been working its way through the Galactic Group. Having suffered a ruinous attack from Artificial Intelligence programs shortly after the outbreak of the disease, Mankind declared any ownership of AI as Treason against humanity; a crime warranting the death penalty. Significantly crippling human reproduction, the Pariah Modification Disease has drastically reduced the Galactic Group's human population. Every effort has been used to reverse the effects of the disease and restore growth, but to no avail. Soon, however, hope will come from an unlikely source. A hidden and unidentified planet that could possibly hold the solution is about to be discovered. Now, with Fate's clock ticking, The Guardian must find Earth and protect it from an enemy intent on the annihilation of all humanity. The Guardian Trilogy tells the story of Earth, caught in the clutches of the Cold War, abruptly finding itself torn between the extinction of the human race and the final Great War of the Galaxies. Authored by a retired Ordnance Officer from the U.S. Army, The Guardian purposefully blends Sci-Fi impossibilities with realistic space warfare. Book One, Through the Abyss, sets the stage for an undiscovered Earth to become the location of Mankind's last stand. https://www.facebook.com/ThruTheAbyss/
