Chariots of Sequetus 3

This is also the third book in the New Earth Miniseries. As more detail, the extraterrestrial intelligence agent reports that Sequetus 3, locally known as Earth, is steeped in mystery. It has elementary space travel, and crude computers. Being 1989, the Cold War still has the planet on the brink of self-annihilation. The most intriguing data was of an experiment to make a ship disappear with its crew.

Upon delivering his estimate to his patron in planet Jilta, our main character is almost assassinated, and it turns out that an armada is probably already heading to Earth to completely eradicate all life from that planet’s surface. However, this decision to destroy Earth by the ruler of that sector, is not shared by all out there. This is where the story picks up. It is still 1989.

Where were you in 1989? Was there something on this planet not wanted to be found by others out there? Plus, what were those explosions in space, in Earth’s outer solar system, that year?

There are plenty of illustrations, maps, and diagrams in this one; several dozen or so. Plus there is the beefy glossary. The book is fast and a damn good read. Enjoy it.
