Post Contact: Holding On

Fierce adversity can bring out the best of human traits. Today it must. From sweeping space battles to vicious hand to hand combat with cruel alien species, everywhere mankind is beset. Everywhere humanity’s remnant is desperately holding on. Stunned by Earth’s calamitous collapse, the few survivors are kept going only by a grim determination that humanity must continue.

With resources stretched thin as paper, they face daunting tasks. Against the clock, Professor Steph Simpson, and her team struggle to unravel the puzzles of the new technology in a desperate race to rescue any who may survive on Earth. That same technology is needed elsewhere to fend off terrifying alien attacks and fulfil the responsibilities that accompany the new technology.

Meanwhile, Jamie MacAulay is marooned, lost in the furthest reaches of the Orion Arm. He and his crew struggle amidst an alien nature and environment. Everywhere the threats grow, and everywhere the price of resistance rises.
