Children of Terra 0001

Foreword

This is the first volume in the Pre-Astro Cycle. The last volume Xeno Activity concludes the Earth Cycle. ‘Children of Terra′ is chronologically the 4th book of the 37 volumes that make up the novels I have written so far in the Galactic Chronicles Universe. This universe of mine has grown over the many years and has attracted many readers and friends from all over the globe. If you ever wanted to know more about a certain species or futuristic/alien term simply search for the galactic chronicles GalNet wiki online and chances are that one of the 14,000 plus pages will offer you more background.

The wiki contains under the topic “Old Stories ” many old versions of my stories as they first appeared on another site.

Friends of Terra is a story of origin of sorts. While the previous volumes talk about how the Guardian of Earth came to be. Why the Vrill colluded with the Nazis or why Operation High Jump was suddenly abandoned. This volume before you is a stand-alone story as much as it is an entry point into the Galactic Chronicles universe.

For my longtime fans, it is hopefully a joyful read and a view back in time, while I have the same hopes for all those readers picking up one of my books for the first time.

It begins in a time when Earth and most of its inhabitants are still blissfully ignorant about everything that occurs in outer space.

In this time, no one really knows about Earth. There are no Union battleships, no Union Marines. Neither Richard Stahl, nor Obrock McElligott have been born yet. No one really thinks much about these primitives from Earth. However, there is a bunch of Terran teenagers, that are about to chance that...

With this is I welcome you to the Galactic Chronicles universe and hope you enjoy your stay.

At Astra, to the Stars,

Vanessa Ravencroft

Author’s Note:

This story takes place around 2018 OTT (Old Terran Time ). Earth, in general, is not aware of extraterrestrial, sentient life. This, of course, does not include AXIOM and other secret organizations and government agencies mentioned in the previous books. The Galactic Council mentioned here is the First or the Original Galactic Council and not the one the one led by the Kermac  that will become the prime opponent of the United Stars of the Galaxies at a much later time.
