The Alien Corps: A Sword and Planet Adventure (Prosperine Book 1)

Science Fiction Espionage with a Twist

The prosperity of planet Earth depends on the Surfboard® FTL technology developed by the Intragalactic Agency. The faster-than-light engine is powered by a rare metal called crynidium, and Prosperine is one of the only places in the galaxy it can be found.

The IA are negotiating with Prosperine’s Government for exclusive mining rights, but trouble is in the wind. Reports of a radical faction plotting to seize control and an alien with supernatural powers is of concern. If the rebels prevail, their manifesto to return the planet to the Dark Ages could prove disastrous for the Agency.

But more is at stake than Earth’s trading supremacy. If the mysterious miracle worker turns out to be genuine, it could signal the end to all life in the galaxy.

Hickory Lace and her team are sent to investigate.

“Great characters; storyline with action, drama, and fast-paced intrigue; and unique description of an alien planet, society and it's population. Highly recommended. I would get other books in the series.”

“McDermott creates a very original and hopeful future world similar to the kind of sci-fi I grew up loving. His alien characters are delightful and believable. I could not wait to read the second book, Rise of the Erlachi which is even better!”
