Bücher der Reihe New Europa

Colony's Dawn opens the New Europa Series with a colony plagued by conspiracy theories and social unrest. These escalated to sabotage, placing the lives of fifty thousand residents in jeopardy. "All Lies" is the side-story of the group of truth seekers trying to end the lies and move their colony forward toward presumably withheld freedoms. Not all in this misfit-membered group have the same goals, however. In this novella we learn how 'Boss' assembled this team and started them on their course while stifling their progression toward becoming more than an annoyance as he tried to uncover their true scope and aims to protect his colony.

"Hope didn't need details. Part of its wonder lay in anticipation of the surprise." Colony life had been a positive force for two centuries, or so Gift thought. Her relentless optimism struggles to silence the gnawing doubts stirred by recent conspiracy theories-rumors and lies she considered them, at first. When the whispers grow into a deafening din and discontent sprout acts of sabotage, Gift learns her beloved New Europa wasn't as tranquil and hopeful as she believed. Gift Ojo, a 26-year-old Nigerian Italian with the joy and innocence of an adolescent, loved her life. A simple system rewarded her with beloved friends and satisfying work, contributing to their efforts to survive on a hostile world while terraforming prepared the outside for future generations. When the foundations of her society are challenged, unimageable circumstances place Gift on a path that would change her life, change who she was, forever. Will she be able to retain her innocence, hold onto her ideals and virtues, while becoming the reluctant hero needed to save her colony and those she loves? "A great story and the universe the author has created is fascinating." -goodreads.com

With the one-year anniversary of the insurrection approaching, many unexpected events have twisted life into a deformed shape. Far from the glorious exploration of the wonderous outdoors and meeting new peoples, life seemed to keep hunting Gift's very soul, trying its best to rob her of freewill and choice. The arrival of the U.R.M. was shocking. That they had returned to Earth to establish a New World Order-one forced upon Earth's inhabitants-created a knot in the collective stomachs of Gift and her friends and of former enemies alike. Fears manifested in the bones of anyone not content to lie down and allow it. Who were these U.R.M. people after two centuries? What is their version of world domination with their offers of peace? Why was Aimée speaking for them?
