Return to Earth
This is a completed novel that has been proofed. Editing will begin in April, 2022. Shortly after the first ships were sent to colonize Mars all communication with Earth was lost. The other ships that were supposed to arrive never did. What had started as the first of many became the only ones. Domes were built to protect the people living there, since Mars could not be conquered as the early scientists had hoped. Rather than their dreams of taming a planet, they settled for living with a place never meant for humans. Kierst is one of the descendants of those early settlers and works on the interior of one the domes. His job gives him the solitude he prefers with both work and home. He has no family and no friends, which is one of the reasons he is chosen to learn the truth about what happened to Earth and why everyone on Mars must return. He is among a small group who are entrusted with the greatest secret of his government. If his group fails, there will be no future for those living on Mars. Their secret fate lies with those who must return to Earth.Complete

But walls, no matter how strong, cannot hold back fate forever. Chief Dau, ruler of the Phroafites, still searches. His thirst is endless. And when the Kudbajis are found, war will return-the kind that decides not who rules the land, but who deserves to exist at all. From ashes of blood and betrayal, a new tale begins. A tale of survival 🛡️. A tale of destiny 🌟. A tale where even an orphan can shake the world 🌍. The question remains❓: Will the Kudbajis remain hidden, their peace unbroken?
