The Torch Bearers

Overcoming adversity is nothing new to Chris Cooper. He did it as Mission Director for President Olivia Kane when the United States returned to the Moon and claimed the mineral rights to the Helium-3 deposits beneath the Shackleton crater. Now, as President, he must do it again. For millennia, the Enferians have ruled the Galaxy with an iron hand, ruthlessly eliminating nascent civilizations that refuse to subjugate themselves to the totalitarian requirements of the Empire. The Nzuri, an advanced space-faring race much like humans, went to war with the Enferians and nearly won. Now, it is mankind's turn. The sighting of an Enferian probe over Mars is followed 5.2 years later by a deadly attack on Olympus, the capitol and largest city of the red planet. Meanwhile, another probe is sighted over Beijing. Does that mean an attack on the Earth will follow in another 5.2 years? If so, the Earth is not prepared to defend itself, much less take the war to the Enferian's home world. Can Chris mobilize the nations of the world to act? Will the Earth be ready for the next Enferian attack? Can it defeat the Enferians in the next Galactic war? Or will the Earth and all of its inhabitants end up like Bantu, the home planet of the Nzuri--a dust ring circling the sun? Find out in the thrilling third book of the Apollo Evolutions series.
