Vu-Hak War

TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR HUMANITY . . . A rift in space now connects Earth to another galaxy. A result of the Cold War's secret nuclear arms race, hidden by scientists and US governments for half a century. Forgotten. But behind this portal lies an ancient and malevolent race, the Vu-Hak. Once organic, now entities of pure thought drifting between the stars, they are an alpha species. A species that colonises on a galactic scale. And they are coming here. Dr. Kate Morgan, grieving the recent death of her child, encounters a strange man in her emergency room. A man who speaks to her telepathically. A man who knows things about her he could not possibly know. Amnesic, enigmatic, Adam Benedict is not entirely human. The authorities are desperate to capture him, but driven by urges he cannot understand, he goes on the run, taking Kate with him.

THE REAL WAR IS JUST BEGINNING . . . AND WE MAY ALREADY HAVE LOST Kate Morgan has had her memory wiped and has no idea of her true identity, her encounter with the monstrous Vu-Hak, or her relationship with humanity's presumed savior, Adam Benedict. But despite his apparent sacrifice, the portal has opened and the Vu-Hak are here on Earth in huge numbers. Invisible, wraith-like. And searching for Kate. Kate needs to rediscover the truth and recapture the threads of her life, and what is at stake. She takes charge of an around-the-world hunt for the one person who may be able to help stop the invasion; but no-one wants to believe her.

HUMANITY REBOOTED? The survivors of the Vu-Hak nuclear destruction of Earth have arrived in a distant galaxy, fifteen thousand years in the past. They have settled on a moon orbiting a gas giant in a binary star system: the world from which the Vu-Hak did-will-launch its murderous assault on Earth. While the survivors search for the ancestors of their attackers, adult humans are being grown from embryonic stem cells under Cain's direction. Genetically upgraded and biologically enhanced, these "post-humans" will ensure the future of the race. Kate Morgan now in a cloned body, is about to meet her resurrected daughter. Before that, she must communicate with the Vu-Hak that has taken over William Hubert's mind. The last time this was attempted, Adam Benedict nearly died. The tiny band of survivors and their newborn charges need Kate to learn everything she can from the stowaway Vu-Hak-because its ancestors are nowhere to be found. Meanwhile . . . something unforeseen is happening as a result of the machine-biological interface within the post-humans . . . and there are unexpected developments elsewhere in the solar system too. Is the galaxy as uninhabited as it seems?
