The 'First Colony' series by popular sci-fi writer A J Marshall, is a near future, five-book series about humankind colonising the Moon. As our neighbour and partner in the vastness of space, the Moon's close proximity dictates much more than just the rising and ebbing of our ocean tides. Since time began, the Moon has influenced the very fabric of our existence. Indeed, without the presence of this apparently inert body, the Earth would not have become an oasis for any species, least of all ours. The predictable and eternal passage of the Moon through the night sky has etched its form into the subconscious of each and every generation that has preceded us. And so too, whether in desperation or not, it was just a matter of time before we viewed this familiar place as an achievable goal, with a frontier to be crossed like any other and subsequently a new land to be settled. Like the Americas centuries before, a new world beckoning, with new opportunities and with new dreams over a distant horizon. As is often the case, however, the old lessons learned are quickly forgotten as we rush to stake our claim - except that the irradiated cold of space and the desolate Moon are far less forgiving than any frontier that has enticed, even beguiled before.

In this second instalment, we begin to understand the Conglomerate's true ambitions: an unrelenting and possibly inevitable drive for control of the Moon and all its precious resources. We also witness the inescapable and alarming rise of the mechanicals. Only their immediate quest is for an emotional, or perhaps a religious understanding. Will this facilitate a sinister ambition to govern both reality and virtuality?

A J Marshall is also the writer of the popular 5-book "Kalahari Series" of near future science fiction novels. See all his books on Amazon or the publisher website:.
