It is forty years from the present date, and Richard Patterson is an aging warrior about to check out of this life. Just retired from a large multinational private military, he will be chosen to have a different fate. This will change his life, and the life of every being on Earth. How will this man move from a menial social class to challenge the elites? How will one man prepare the Earth to defend itself from a threat that has destroyed advanced, interstellar civilizations across the galaxy for millennia? His lead-time is short, and he faces a corrupt, self-serving society. Just surviving the day will be challenging since half of Earth’s population may die with the disruptive technology changes. There are billions of planets in our galaxy and now we can go there. How will neighboring species react now that humans can reach them?

This is the same multiverse - all books tie into Trade World Saga - does not matter in what order you read them. Enjoy.
