Earth Song

Five hundred years have passed, and Earth is but a distant memory, a story told to children. Bellatrix is humanity's home now, as well as its future. When the alien race responsible for mankind's rescue returned, humanity found that its rescue came at a price-it had to serve its alien masters to repay that act, and the Chosen were formed. Minu is the daughter of the First Among the Chosen. While she wants to follow in her father's footsteps, very few women are Chosen. When her father goes missing, though, it's her only opportunity to find out what happened to him. But the galaxy is a dangerous place, as humanity has already learned, and there are many races that would bring about our downfall. Our sonata is quickly coming to its end. Will we learn to survive, or will we perish like so many other races have? Minu holds the key to our survival…and our annihilation.

The clouds of war continue to darken for humanity as Gregg and his Ranger forces are forced to fight yet another higher order species, the Mok-Tok, and it is obvious they were set up. Worse, the First Among the Chosen has decided not to rescue the Rangers; they will be left to die. Minu Groves doesn't believe in leaving people to die, though, so she embarks on a rescue mission with her friends and the Kaatan-class ship run by her daughter. Before she can bring the war to a conclusion, though, events outside her control force her to turn aside, adding the Mok-Tok to the list of races who want human blood. The T'Chillen and the Tanam, two other higher order species, are both close to vendetta with humanity, and both have plans to end humanity for good they are actively putting into action. And, as if more enemies were needed, the alien Grent are acting in the wings, aiding humanity's enemies, and no one knows what game they are playing-not even the races the Grent are helping. Beset by enemies on every side, Minu is forced to rely on her friends and her daughter, and only one question remains…will that be enough?
