Innocent Earth
Earth has attained world peace at last. Overseen by the World Council, based in Jerusalem, the planet has truly become a global community, and humanity has reached an age of enlightenment. This is the time when the visitors arrive. Wielding near-miraculous technology, they arrive claiming to have seeded Earth with humans, and have returned to claim "their own." Their claims and their appearance seem prophesied by the Bible, and religion and politics clash as arguments break out whether these visitors have the right to take people, even as it becomes apparent that humanity could do little to stop them. Arhus Gint is a lowly translator working for the esteemed World Council when he happens to catch the attention of an ambassador, and the visitors. Suddenly, a man with no political aspirations finds himself at the centre of negotiations between the World Council and the visitors. As tensions rise and people on both sides of the argument become more desperate, Arhus wonders less if he can keep his job throughout it all and worries more if he can even keep his head.
Divided Earth
Twenty-seven years ago, humanity learned that it was not alone. Aliens came to Earth in the forms of God and angels from the Bible. Claiming to have seeded the Earth with humans, they selected chosen ones to take back to their planet with them. The visitors moved on, but humans still reel from their appearance. Many people have turned to new alien-worshipping churches to make sense of this world-shattering event. At the top of this new religion is Valesco, head of Thee Way Church of God, but his ambitions lie far beyond preaching. He seeks to eliminate his competition, religious and secular, by any means necessary. In South Dakota, Joseph Gint has little going for him aside from his research and a clear head. However, that clear mind and his predictions of the future are an asset even the President can't ignore. As tensions escalate between alien-worshipping and anti-alien factions, Joseph becomes embroiled in a desperate bid to save what's left of the United States. Revelation Base sets the stage for what may become a new civil war.
Rebel Earth
Humanity has been preparing for the return of the EO-AY for generations, but now, time has run out. Is technology ready to free the Earth from the control of the aliens, or will humans be forever subservient to their whims?
Altaterra
Twenty-five thousand people were taken from Earth and never heard from again. What happened to them? After being delivered to undeveloped world Altaterra three hundred years ago, a new civilization of humans began. Originally high tech, now they live like pioneers. Kaitja is a peacekeeper living a quiet life in the mountains with his apprentice Xitano. They're chosen to lead an expedition farther over the mountains than people have ever been. What they don't expect to find is an entire society of people previously unknown to them. Atami is a dutiful, pragmatic member of his tribe until a bloodthirsty chief puts their entire clan in danger. Thrust into a leadership role he never desired, Atami struggles to keep his people alive and earn the respect of both followers and allies. When these two cultures meet, the entire history of Altaterra is challenged. Those on the ruling council, however, would prefer those secrets remain buried, and will do whatever it takes to keep the discovery silent.
Rebel Earth
The world changed when aliens, taking the form of God from the Bible, arrived on Earth and took twenty-four thousand people away with them. After they left, the believers left behind flocked to the countryside and took up simple, agrarian lives, while the high-tech cities walled themselves off and braced themselves for the aliens' inevitable return. A hundred and sixty years have passed. While prejudice between Puritans and Citizens persists in the United States, peace has reigned for three generations. However, when doctors in Chicago discover exactly what the aliens were looking for on their last visit, President Worthia Amster knows that their time to prepare is over. The Citizens have decided that they will no longer be subservient to the aliens, their crop to be farmed as they please. But is Earth truly ready to rebel against the EO-AY, especially when half the population supports them?
