Blue SunRise: Books 1-2
(2023)(A book in the Blue Sun Space opera series)
An omnibus of novels by Gregg Overman
Blue Sunrise:
Something’s coming toward Earth, and the question is, ‘how bad will it be?’ Can the crew on Mars survive when NASA offers them up as the sacrificial lamb?
The first manned mission to Mars struggles for survival in the harsh and unforgiving environment of the red planet. A construction worker, losing his fight with addiction, leaves Earth for work on the Moon but finds no peace in the airless desolation of Earth’s satellite. Light years away, a genocidally paranoid race of aliens has stolen the technology to destroy all other sentient life in the galaxy. They have been at it for several thousand years with a 100% success rate. They have found Earth.
Strange lights and bursts of radiation emanate from the fringes of our solar system, but it will be some time before NASA understands the danger it represents. Can the crew on Mars survive when NASA orders them to lure the alien objects away from Earth? How can a worker on the Moon, battling demons of his own making, save his family on Earth—the only thing he cares about?
Blue Sunset:
The aliens just want us all to die. Two men and a Martian ‘Scout Bug’ have other ideas.
Earth is in political and economic turmoil in the wake of an unprovoked alien attack. NASA abandons the crew on Mars as power shifts to a reactionary political party, but they reconsider when new lights and radiation bloom on the periphery of our solar system. NASA needs Mars to once again act as the sacrificial lamb for the incoming missiles, but the Mars’ crew has their own problems after one of the missiles strikes Mars and turns the environment from inhospitable to unlivable. It seems their only choice is death by starvation, hypothermia or the next alien missile.
Something on Mars awakens after millennia of stasis. It is hungry, and the human crew on the surface is obviously food, albeit genetically damaged food. The genetic damage will need to be corrected before the harvest.
Astonishingly, the next round of incoming alien missiles begins communicating, and the Mars Crew learns that the galaxy has been subjected to a reign of genocidal bombardment for thousands of years. They have suffered much, but the crew on Mars and the fully awake Martians decide to go down fighting.
Genre: Science Fiction
