Summary
Battle Beyond Earth: Insurrection. The second instalment
in an epic new series that tells of humanity's desperate
struggle to survive in an uncertain and war-torn future. The Alliance of Human, Krys, Aranui, and Cholan peoples
lies in tatters, after they turn on one another when a new
threat emerges. The enemy is the Morohta, led by their
fearsome queen, Bolormaa. A hard fought battle buys the
Alliance valuable time, until the Morohta force the
submission of the Cholan Empire. The Cholans then point their
guns at the Alliance and demand their surrender. Confronted
by a fleet led by the most powerful ship in the universe,
Colonel Taylor faces obliteration. He has just one hour to
avoid catastrophe and take the fight to the enemy. Yet Taylor is not content to win a single battle. Still
outnumbered and outgunned, he embarks on a quest to re-unite
the four races. There is still a chance to snatch victory
from defeat when a rumour spreads of an ancient and powerful
weapon that could turn the tide of the coming war. Taylor has
no option but to gamble everything on a final, daring mission
to force the Cholans to fulfil the obligations they swore to
the Alliance. Battle Beyond Earth is a futuristic sci-fi action
adventure, a standalone story. It will also give a new
perspective and storyline to the readers who followed Mitch
Taylor's exploits in the epic series 'Battle Earth.'
