The Taking Of Red Star One Book One Towards Liberty

The far future.

Countries no longer exist.  Neither does freedom.

The human race is under the control of a global tyranny

called the Gov.  Burdened by the needs and demands of an

over-populated world, President-For-Life Gabrielle LaRue

orders Gov Star Naval Command to initiate invasion

preparations against a planet called Liberty, which was

terraformed and colonized decades earlier by freedom-lovers

who saw the writing on the wall and fled Earth as the

Gov was rising-to-power.

Captain Sean Hardy is awarded command of Red Star One,

a newly-constructed, state-of-the-art starship, built for one

purpose:  to flag-ship the fleet on the day of Liberty's invasion.

During their shakedown cruise, Sean, and his loyal bridge-crew,

set Red Star One on-course for Liberty.  Not to invade her,

but to defend her from the impending invasion.
