I am thrilled to announce that Homecoming will be
officially released on March 1st!
This is the last novel I wrote prior to retiring from the Army and
getting a “regular” job, so we’ll see how hard it is to push ahead in the
future, but for now, please enjoy the book.
Here’s the back cover blurb:
Earth. The mere name
has had an almost talisman-like pull on the human race since we were driven
from our homeworld over 6,000 years ago.
Mankind’s ancestors ran from the genocidal threat engulfing them,
fleeing like intergalactic refugees towards a new home that would allow us to
flourish once again.
And flourish we did.
From a ragtag group of just over 12,000 survivors, humanity has grown to
create a proper empire of nearly 900 billion spanning two galaxies. But we never forgot our home, so we waited
and we planned. Now the time was finally
right to return to Earth and take back what we once had no choice but to
abandon.
Although the military campaign, as well as the alien races
between humanity and our birthplace, were the primary concern, they turned out
to not be the only ones. You see, Earth
itself, despite crawling with the vermin that nearly eradicated us, was far
from free of surprises, both physical and historical. Unanticipated challenges waited for the
people of the Terran Confederation, including notions that would shake the very
foundations of what it meant to be human.
Our legends had defined us, but could those legends withstand scrutiny? What if everything we’d come to believe about
ourselves and our world had been carefully crafted to cocoon us for our own
good?
A story meant to be about our return to Earth expands to
cover our journey both across and within the realms of known space, from long
lost colony worlds where mankind has morphed into something else, to the edges
of an intergalactic war between implacable enemies…enemies that now had the
incentive to turn their attention towards humanity…
