Illegal Aliens (ePub)

This story is set in the not-too-distant future where life on earth has changed dramatically; partly due to man’s decision to pull back from the precipice by adopting drastic changes in how they perceive and interact with each other; and partly due to an infusion of alien technology that helped make the transition from tribalism, to which they had descended, to an idyllic society, go more smoothly.

In addition, this tongue-in-cheek story pokes fun at some of the sensitivities we take so seriously here on earth today. I hope no one views this slightly comic take on racial, religious, and social constructs in bad taste; they are certainly not intended to be.

Having done away with racial and ethnic classifications, and only esoterically retaining national identities, earth, and the remaining late twenty-first century, industrialized nations, have formed a new world governing body called the World Council of Nations (WCN). It is to this body that all conflicts, matters of security, and other grievances are referred.

Yet, this brief utopia of sorts came at a price: The aliens who brought mankind the technology that freed them from the need to hoard resources also brought with the ominous news that it all may come crashing down on them very soon, for hot on their tails was an enemy the likes of which mankind has never conceived: The Aggressors.

Fearing their own demise, the Aggressors began a brutal and destructive march through the galaxy in an attempt to preemptively stamp out an enemy, prophesied in ancient scrolls, who would rid the galaxy of their tyranny once and for all. So, once all the signs pointed to the arrival of "The One”, they began their deadly search, and even if it meant killing everyone in the galaxy to eradicate the threat, so be it.
