Citadel Trilogy

CRASHING IS THE EASY PARTBOOK ONE OF THREE It's been more than a century since humanity escaped the overpopulation of Earth, expanding out among the stars. We've faced and overcome war with an alien race. We've survived terrorist attacks meant to end colonization. We've thrived despite unregulated class distinctions, separating the wealthy from the working class. What comes next may be the end of it all. A lone colony of human castaways, led by a former alien enemy, find themselves at the mercy of a saboteur and a plot to end humanity's unrestricted travel among the stars. This could be the finale of the colonies and the end of a species. Everything depends on how smart - and how forgiving - humanity can actually be.

Against all odds, on an unchartered world, the souls of First Colony have been restored to life, and a centuries old wrong has been righted-sort of. On the planet's surface, a young woman struggles to reclaim her mind from the strange aftereffects of the cancellation wave. High above, the struggling colony's last hope of going home slowly falls from orbit, and two men face death to prevent it. And as the human colonists and their Esool captain struggle for survival, a new species emerges that can be the colony's savior-or its most dangerous enemy. As if it needed more.

GET YOUR SHIP TOGETHER. "If you like Andy Weir's The Martian and Hugh Howey's Wool, you will love Kevin Tumlinson's Citadel. "AN ANCIENT ENEMYA THREAT OF WARAN UNEXPECTED HOPEALL ON THE WRONG FREAKING PLANET. It's been over a century since the terrorist attack that nearly ended any chance for humanity to travel to the stars. Then there was the fifty years of war with the plant-like Esool, the rise of a powerful, cult-like anti-colonization group, and the increasing tensions between the wealthy upper class and the lower working class. But we're getting better. Except for the part where the first joint colony effort between humans and the Esool results in the colony ship Citadel crashing on the wrong planet, with no hope of returning home. Now the struggling colony itself led by a former alien enemy, and hidden among them is both the saboteur and the most notorious terrorist history has ever known. Survival will mean pulling together and doing the impossible a few dozen times. Unless, of course, a brand new alien species puts a stop to the whole thing. And the colonists thought it was a rough ride coming down. THE COMPLETE SERIES.
