Five thousand years after its destruction, fragments of a shattered Earth float mindless of each other’s inhabitants: three worlds with vastly different climates and millennia of evolution separating each human population. The asteroid of The Rebirth had been an intentional weapon of Earth’s destruction, but a benevolent alien race had intervened to save a sample of humanity with which to start anew. These three worlds represent mankind’s second chance, but the malicious masterminds of ancient Earth’s demise have not yet forgotten their intent to exterminate, and now a plan has come to form that will pit these neutral human planets against each other in a war of greed and pride. Will the humans lead themselves down a path of self-destruction, or will they find a way to put their differences aside and unite against their true enemy? World Apart follows the story of characters on all sides of the conflict: Raiden, an experienced lieutenant and military academy professor from the arctic tundra of Fraq; Lexus, a sassy and sexy police woman from the arid world of Calri; and Aric, a young, convicted murderer from Arth. Follow them as their paths intertwine on the battlefield and their fates slowly drift into each other’s hands. Experience adventure and romance and utter brutality, and explore the meaning of humanity and the way things could be different in today’s divided society. Visit worlds beyond our galaxy, and probe the minds of King Zuron and the blade-wielding General Kruxor, the malevolent Zeta Reticulans that seek the destruction of mankind for the proliferation of their own, dying race. Through war, they will bring the pieces of Earth back together again, but whether those pieces emerge as dust or as one will depend upon the fervor of mankind and the ruthlessness of the Reticulan warriors.
