Resist

Humankind faces extinction.

To survive, we must evolve.

But first, we must fight back.

In Book Two of the Astragenesis Series—RESIST—as the Ceruleans launch their invasion, the mass evacuation of cities causes chaos. The security forces of the Western Military Districts are overwhelmed by civic unrest and the authoritarian government loses control. The fates of Dr Nikki Akaju and astronaut Zhu Chenzi converge as they join forces to combat both the external alien threat and internal enemies who seek to fracture an already divided society.

The military might of the Federation is no match for the aliens’ weapons. Edison Denard, the architect of the Federation’s techno-dictatorship, holds a cynical view of the future of humanity. He pressures the Military Council to adopt an apocalyptic plan to sacrifice Earth to the Reborn, the Ceruleans’ bio-engineered spawn.

But is there another answer? Led by the enigmatic Pastor Harold, the followers of the Fifth Pathway hold the key to humankind’s resistance. But will it be enough to turn the tide of the conflict?

Set in a dystopian society that extrapolates today’s geo-politics into tomorrow’s reality, RESIST continues the Astragenesis Saga, a controversial insight into a frightening and all-to-possible future. Written for readers who enjoy both hard and soft sci-fi, RESIST combines a post-apocalyptic thriller with alien first contact to excite fans of all genres of science fiction.

The Astragenesis Saga continues with RESIST - Book Two, the fight for the future of the human race.

Earth faces an extinction-level event from space.

The Reborn have been chosen to replace us.

Only one species can survive.
