Initiation Series Compilation
(2017)(A book in the Terran Chronicles series)
An omnibus of novels by James Jackson
The Terran Chronicles Universe is a science fiction adventure series which begins in Earth's near future and spans far beyond.
The 'Initiation Series' encompasses the first five full size novels, five short stories, along with two journals.
Humanity discovers they are not alone in the Universe, and that space is perilous. However, things are not all they seem to be. Enemies become friends, while others prove to be dangerous beyond all measures of comprehension.
In book one, 'First Contact', humanity meets an alien race called Gamin, when their fleet of damaged space craft arrives in orbit. Their leader, Regent Voknor, quickly makes his demands known, forcing Earth's leaders to capitulate. The Gamin unexpectedly leave, and once gone a partially built space craft is discovered in the Australian Outback.
Book two, 'Discovery', follows a multinational team who complete Earth's first spacecraft. While the Terran explores the stars, the technology discovered on the alien craft filters into society, forever changing Earth's political and technological landscapes.
Humanity's desire to reach for the stars leads to book three, 'Colony', which follows the many trials and tribulations of establishing a presence on another world.
The fourth book, 'Alliance', starts with a refitted Terran exploring distant worlds, in particular a derelict spacecraft from which they strip weapons and other technology. Cindy answers a call for help from Regent Voknor, and in doing so earns the wrath of the Atlan's, the Gamin's mortal enemy.
Book five, 'Voknor Diaries', reveals the start of the Atlan-Gamin war, thousands of years ago, and then follows Voknor's life, from a hatchling to challenging the rule of the Empire.
