First Contact Series
Written by JL Maynor
LISTENER ADVISORY: Violence, Strong Language
Earth didn’t survive World War III intact—it survived divided. Two factions rose from the ash: the United Federation of Nations and the Russian Republic of Nations. When resources became weapons and the front lines went global, humanity fled upward, dragging its grudges into orbit and beyond.
A century later, the conflict has frozen into a long Cold War fought with spies, fleets, and colony lines… until an ancient object buried deep beneath Luna unlocks a hyperspace network no human civilization could have built.
The scramble to claim star systems begins.
Then Orion’s scientists find something worse—and better: a new element in the asteroid belt that makes unrestricted FTL possible. The Federation commissions an antimatter-powered prototype, WarpStar, and gives command to the ship’s original architect, Captain John Henderson.
His mission is simple: test the engine.
What he discovers is not.
