First Colony - Planets: The fourth exciting novel in the ""First Colony"" chronicles. (""First Colony"" - A near future five-book series by popular sci-fi author A. J. Marshall 4)
""Planets"" is the forth instalment in the topical five-book near future ""First Colony"" series. In this exciting ongoing adventure we follow the protagonist Arron Wu as he journeys below the Moon's Aratus crater and into an extensive lava tube system that holds clues not just to mankind’s origins but also a strange Earth-Moon coupling. The Conglomerates' seemingly insatiable demands for all that the lunar colony offers including unimaginable mineral wealth sees a direct assault on Moon's independence and long-established democracy. Initially their well-planned hawkish surge on the lunar colony appears to succeed but widespread dissent brewing for many weeks beneath a local facade of calm and accepting subservience now begins to surface. Then another much more divisive force arrises. This threat is far more subversive and perilous than anything Epsilon Rio Spheron or Tongsei can or do impose on the lunarfolk. Will the Brotherhood and their covert opposition become the epicentre
