About the book
First Contact Was Friendly
When aliens brought a gateway to other worlds into the Solar System, humanity was filled with a mix of wonder, hope, and fear. The arrival of the Glatun, peaceful traders from beyond, brought a sense of relief to Earth.
Who Controls the Orbitals, Controls the World
The Horvath's brutal claim on Earth was marked by devastating attacks on three cities. With their dominance of the orbitals, they held Terra in their grip, with Earth's leaders resigned to their fate.
Live Free or Die
To break free from the oppressive rule of the Horvath requires a bold and unlikely champion - someone who refuses to bow to alien or human authorities, who refuses to accept subjugation, and who believes they can triumph against all odds.
Luckily, Tyler Vernon steps up to the challenge with grander ambitions than mere liberation from the Horvath.
Troy Rising unfolds in a trilogy, with Live Free or Die setting the stage for Earth's liberation, the advances into space with alien technology, and the construction of Troy, a colossal battlestation safeguarding the Solar System.
