Pandora's Song

The quest for knowledge can be dangerous, or so myth, religion, and history tell us. When Colonel John O'Connell found a mysterious dark object on Mars, it led humans out into the stars. But from the moment he touched it and someone decided to nickname it 'Pandora's Box, ' he was afraid of the dark forces he'd unleashed on the universe. Three decades later, humanity is embroiled in a million-year-old war with an enemy that has the power to possess your mind and alien allies they're not sure they can trust. Added to this, things are deteriorating on Earth for Colonel David Anderson: there's a suicide cult foretelling the end of the world, a serial killer on the loose, and a resistance movement blowing people up. Lately, there are also a lot of ghosts in his life, including John O'Connell, whose journal holds clues to defeating the darkness. While events continue to spiral out of control, David's lost love returns to prophecies that she's a saviour meant to end the war. But soon, he's concerned about who's influencing her and whether her powers are good or evil. As past and future collide, David and those around him are fighting a war on every front, including reconciling the conflicts inside themselves between fear, faith, duty, family, and passion. The Pandora's Song Trilogy: Today, Tomorrow, and Yesterday: Amidst the forces of time and space, life and death, love and hate, three generations fight an ancient evil linked to a mysterious dark object and races of aliens that gave rise to human myths of gods and monsters.
