    About this ebook

    Captain Paige Lyton thought the strange transmissions over Earth were nothing more than background noise, until a nuclear attack obliterates an entire sector of Earth. As the government officials ponder a response to the attack, Paige and her crew are plagued by strange visions linked to the attack on Earth. When they realize the transmissions are linked to their visions, it leaves Paige in the middle of a psychological horror and wondering whether the whole attack was real, or nothing more than an incursion on reality.

      Prologue

      Earth nearly died in 3150. It wasn’t by natural disaster, tragedy, or even calamity. It was by man’s own hand. The world isn’t big enough for 50 billion people. There isn’t enough land to grow food. There isn’t enough space to house everybody. There isn’t enough medical care to eradicate disease. But most importantly, there isn’t enough room for the religious and political factions, some of which are one in the same, to co-habitate peacefully.

      The Middle Eastern and Pacific Sectors regularly engaged in combat which escaladed to open war in 3050. The Pacific Sector was unhappy with the one world government that reigned over Earth, the lunar territories, and the Martian outposts. They felt The World Council held too much power to efficiently oversee the vast amount of religious and cultural diversity, especially as humanity continued to expand into space. They believed that the sovereignty efforts of The Jovan Council, who oversaw the developments on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, were a more appropriate approach. The Middle Eastern Sector felt the whole government system was too secularized, and that a religious base should be established to make the overriding government more efficient by defining a moral base to their leadership. There were mediations and relief funds provided to help bring an end to hostilities, but in every instance groups of radicals from one side or the other would initiate another attack to reignite the war. A car bomb in Melbourne was met with an airport fire in Dubai. A dignitary kidnapped in New Zealand was met with the assassination of The World Council member from Saudi Arabia. The American, European, and Asian Sectors finally cut off aid to both regions in 3075 and eliminated their seats on The World Council, recognizing that neither side would accept a compromise. It was a moot point anyway, since most of the Earth sectors and the space colonies agreed with the current system. The Jovan Council had their own battles over how to establish the sovereignty of the systems in the outermost reaches of The Solar System. They redirected resources to continuing the development of self-sustaining habitats in the Jovan System, and strengthening the established settlements to support a larger civilian population. Crews were sent, research was done, and over the next seventy-five years they constructed ten domed habitats in the Jovan System: three on Gandymede, three on Callisto, two on Eurpoa, and two on Titian.

      The World Council announced that these settlements were ready for limited civilian population in 3140 and took applications for people specializing in the humanities and social sciences to inhabit these colonies. There were plenty of scientists in the Jovan System to continue building further developments through each sector’s military space program. What they really needed was to bring the human element into space.

      The Pacific Sector had no interest in interstellar development and eventually turned their attacks toward the American, European, and Asian Sectors, and their space stations orbiting Earth. They felt the expansion of humanity into outer space was nothing more than a political agenda to take over every man, woman, and child through military oversight. What the Pacific Sector didn’t know was that the Middle Eastern Sector was interested in joining the interstellar effort. They saw it as a chance to spread faith throughout the known universe. The Middle Eastern Sector wanted to participate in the interstellar development effort, and the sooner they could end this war, the sooner they could get back in the good graces of the World Council to renew their efforts at a theocracy based government. In 3148, the Middle East Sector launched five missiles on the Pacific Sector. All eyes were on the first civilian transports launching for Callisto, so nobody knew the missiles had been fired until the explosions occurred. The attacks killed a million people in a coordinated strike.

      Public outrage was high, but the World Council was wise enough to realize that an emotional reaction wouldn’t aide the situation. They needed to take a definitive action that would show all of humanity, from Earth to Titian, that such acts of terrorism would not be tolerated. Transport sites were destroyed in the Middle Eastern and Pacific Sectors. Reconnaissance missions were conducted to locate weapons storage sites, and the World Council sent a combined military force to destroy the weapons. There might have still been twelve billion people in those regions, but most of them were unarmed political activists or terrorist with limited range weapons. They were no match for the training and force of a military comprised of three sectors with technology a century ahead of their own. Some fighting ensued, but in the end the sentence was carried out. The Middle Eastern and Pacific Sectors were disarmed, and travel into and out of these regions was prohibited. They were closed off from the world until such time as they could demonstrate that they had resolved their differences and achieved a peace that would allow them to reintegrate with civilized human society.

      The Pacific Sector was fine with this sentence. They had no interest in world
