Red Earth

December 2012, thousands of small asteroids strike the Earth destroying nearly every major city and military base on the planet in minutes. From orbit, invisible beams of energy tear through the Earthʼs atmosphere annihilating nuclear missile and power sites, chemical, weapon, and industrial factories. All regions of dense human activity  was targeted. The orbital assault lasted just under two hours.

Then the Martians came. They were counting on absolute, overwhelming force. Either they took the Earth, or extinction took them.

'Red Earth' is an exciting science-fiction adventure set in the very near future. In the brief span of one night the Earth is utterly conquered by an invading force from Mars. Inspired in part by H. G. Wells' 'War of the Worlds', 'Red Earth' is neither a retelling nor a sequel. The story follows the adventures of Jonathan Crow in the days and months after the fall of Humanity as he and his small band of friends avoid the carnivorous aliens and, even worse, his fellow survivors.
