Operation Ba'al

Once celebrated for his feats in terraforming, Dr Charles Jung finds himself on the eve of a tribunal intended to strip him of power and loosen the regulations he imposed to safeguard the developing environments of colonised planets. His affiliation with a pacifist Chinese community from the Shanxi mountains stirs controversy as lingering fears from the war drives the CERE’s scepticism of Charles’ motives. Caught in a debate that’ll determine the fate of the Charted Systems, the lives of Charles’ family and friends are endangered by a rogue military group known only as S.E.L.

THE FAMILY is the first arc in POST-TERRA FIRMA, a series exploring humanity’s future in the first era of colonising planets beyond our solar system. POST-TERRA FIRMA blends nineties-futurism, space western and military science fiction to explore the domestic relationships brought under strain by the tribulations of conflict and living beyond Earth.
