Earth is dying. Its population is down to a mere two million- a number not seen for 50,000 years. Earth sends probes to find a new home world. Several planets capable of supporting a portion of the population are found. Then the paradise of Arcturus is found. A military contingent is sent to the distant world to eliminate the current population and prepare for immediate colonization. The force does not expect the Post Iron-Age civilization to be any threat at all.



On Arcturus, peace reigns. The upcoming harvest festival and sacrifice is the foremost issue. As the Arcturians become aware of the arrival of their far-off brothers, they turn to the One that provides all their guidance. Thanks to a decision thousands of years ago, God still walks among His people. Even though they do not understand the intentions of their strange brothers from far away, they know they can trust in their Father as they always have.

Earth's plans for an easy conquering of the planet are wrong.

Very wrong.
