Perdicion: The Other Blue Planet

In this space opera adventure, two planets battling for control of another confront a captain on a mission to protect the last known uncolonized planet.

When the inhabitants of Perdicion discover there is life on the nearby planet of Parthenos, they rejoice in the possibilities. The most technologically advanced planet in the galaxy, Perdicion now dreams of space travel, exploration, and colonization. But first the forces of Perdicion have to overcome the rebellious Red Colonies, who also wish to make Parthenos their own.

What the warring factions don’t realize is that Parthenos has a protector in Commander Solus, who struggles between his desire to protect the pristine planet and his own need for advancing technology and weapons to use against the tyrants who would destroy the blue planet.

The battle for Parthenos pits the past against the future and the old world against the new in pursuit of the soul of the last-known primitive planet.
