All they know is that Zellig has some sort of base and it is somewhere to the North. During their travels we begin to learn more about the bad guys: The Hunters of the… Read more

Earth Blood by James Axler
The Aquila and its crew return to Earth after a two-year mission in space. As they awake from cold sleep they realize that there are problems with their ship that Mission Control should have taken care of. Trying to reach Mission Control gets no response. Then they notice that the green areas of Earth are now red. Mission Control or not, they have to land.

After most of the crew survive the landing, they discover that the world is a much different place. A plant cancer has been used as a bio weapon and all of the Earth's crops have been affected. With no food growing, global population plummeted.

The crew finds a message from their old general mentioning a contingency plan and a… Read more
