The Flight Of The Solar Archangel — Rod Rogers

The Flight of the Solar Archangel -- a history of the "Grim War" and the second novel in the series.

The struggle began in the 21st century - humanity against an elusive, unknown and faceless agent of destruction. The first years went badly for Earth and only intervention by a third party staved off an early demise. But now those off-world allies have been absent for five hundred years and mankind has been pushed to the brink of extinction.

The last colony on Earth and the mountain fortress that defends it face reduction by an implacable mechanized horde. Two men and a woman race to cross a desolate and barren wasteland. They must reach a subterranean refuge, there to launch an orbital craft. Solar Archangel is the last best hope, for in high earth orbit lies a derelict Chao-Vithri warship, the only weapon that can defeat the Oo'ahan - an antagonist whose form and purpose remains a mystery.

The Flight of the Solar Archangel continues the story of mankind's call to arms and of the end of the Grim War five hundred years later. The third novel, Prides of Sol, takes man into space, there to end a thousand years of deadly strife - the end of the beginning.

In Prides of Sol, we learn of the Danua who had seeded Earth, and of the long-dormant city of Mu'rias on Danu in the Tir Na n'Og system. The circle is now complete, for humankind has reseeded Danu.

The Children of Danu, Part One, tells of the origins of  the circle and hints at the future. Late Summer 2011
