    About this ebook

    Three space explorers arrive on a new planet to find the hungry, desperate faces of a conquered civilization. These people are human, intelligent and aware of space travel. Why are they dressed in rags? Why isn't anyone allowed to own a tool, or medicine? What happened to their cities and culture? The chilling answer comes from the six-meter alien with smoke-colored armor and polished fangs, and he does not come in peace.

      About the Author

      The Conquered

      First came the probes , then came the survey party. A life-supporting planet located in the Ekar Quadrant. No one expected to find something this far off standard shipping lanes. Then they did.

      Been a while since we located a new M-Class, Hawkins, the captain, said. They’ll build a statue to us in the middle of the Capitol. Name schools after us.

      First, we have to figure out what we have, Chase the science officer, replied. Initial reports are positive for life support. That doesn’t mean we’d actually want to live there. Might be a rescue planet.

      ’Rescue planet?’

      Sure. One of our moons gets an ELE? We’ll need a place to put the refugees.

      Last extinction-level event happened two centuries ago.

      Sure, but it’s possible. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Chase tapped a button on his control board. Strap in, hitting atmo in another minute.

      True to the readings, atmosphere burned across
