The Family

Walking in the footsteps of giants, Daniel Hayward, is brought back into a conflict that threatens the whole of the Charted Systems, one that he had long since abandoned. When a simple job on the barren mining colony of Jotunhiem quickly becomes complicated, Daniel and the crew of the Mazu are forced to deliver the goods to Neo-Shanxi, once the home of The Family. The origins of the war between the Loyalists and Separatists, that would consume the Charted Systems, begins with a single man Dr Charles Jung, an optimistic scientific genius who made terraforming and colonisation possible. Old prejudices and paranoia cause a rift between the CERE and the Chinese colony of Delta Nine, leading the head of the Neo-Shanxi Assembly, Chairman Zhang, to seek independence from the CERE and to ensure the future of his people is left in the hands of his grandchildren, Alistair, Oscar and Wesley Jung. POST-TERRA FIMRA is a brutally savage and serenely beautiful depiction of a future not so unrecognisable from present day. With humanity in the early stages of colonising distant planets, the series explores the lives and relationships of those affected by the conflicts of political interest and the desolation of war. THE FAMILY: POST-TERRA FIRMA is a collection of books 1-5 in the POST-TERRA FIRMA series.
