Children of the Dark World

In the twenty-first century the great corporations rose to power, corrupting the governments of the Earth with their wealth. They existed for one purpose alone; to attain wealth and power. In this they succeeded so well that by the dawning of the twenty-second century humanity and its off-world colonies were completely under the sway of the corrupt corporate entities. But on June 4 in the year 2119, this world of corporate dominion came crashing down. As the Calamity descended upon the unsuspecting people of Earth from the depths of space the corporations disintegrated, leaving humanity to its dire fate. From the chaos and despair of the Calamity and the Time of the Dying that followed, two great leaders arose to guide humanity on the Long Road back from the brink of extinction and anarchy. Now, a century later, Commander Callum Farr leads the crew of the Resolution in fulfillment of a promise made to the two great leaders. His mission is to find the lost children of Earth, the colonists stranded off world when the Calamity struck a century earlier. He will use whatever means are available to him to help Earth’s lost children and guide them toward reunification with their home world. But he must battle against the re-emerging treachery of the remaining six corporations. His first mission before proceeding to the asteroid belt is the farside of the Moon, now silent for the last ninety-seven years. But will he find the lost children of Earth or a dusty mausoleum?
