Test of Magnitude (The Torian Reclamation)

"Revenge is only justice when it can be administered without hatred."



The spectacular Cardinal-4 space station overlooks Amulen and Banor, twin worlds sharing the same orbit. It is the pinnacle of Torian achievement and a wonder of the Erobian Sphere. But not all foreign visitors are arriving with pure intent.



A Torian half-breed suspected of being the first prophet in 300 years warns of an evil infection in the galaxy. It comes in the form of a game. He also pushes the radical agenda of reviving a primitive group of aliens from a planet outside the sphere known as Earth.



Brandon Foss, an unhappily married Virginian, awakens to discover he has been kept in cryonic preservation on Amulen for two decades along with hundreds of others. Though humans are physically frail, Brandon's quick reflexes and ingenuity during a surprise interstellar attack result in the Earth abductees drawing attention from an additional group: the Torian military, when planning their retaliation.



Book 1 of The Torian Reclamation is the beginning of a 39-year misadventure for Brandon Foss. Along the way he finds he has not only become the hope of an alien military force, but also a generation of humans who can only dream of one day returning to their ancestral home world.
