Book One
The Necklace of Nine Planets
One thousand years in the future, Earth's globalized society is in mortal peril. Hyper-industrialization has torn the planet apart, and owing only to the brilliant minds of the Technaut Guild, a plan has been announced to move the population off-world before Earth’s death arrives. Practically executing the Great Exodus, however, would require a miracle.
Enter Dr. Phillip Zand, an academician and inventor whose MiniMax device can shrink and enlarge any inanimate object. The MiniMax may be the key to moving Earth's population to a recently discovered system called the Necklace of Nine Planets. Dr. Zand, aiming to have his own Necklace planet in exchange for the use of the MiniMax, enters a tenuous agreement with the Technaut Guild. But can his invention truly enable Earth’s population to find a new home, or will greed and politics jeopardize the safety and integrity of the mission?
In a race to escape a dying planet, humanity is faced with horrible ends and new beginnings—a time of unspeakable tragedy and unfettered opportunity. Join Dr. Zand and others in their journey to save humanity from itself.

At the Necklace, turmoil at the very top of the Technaut Guild threatens to tear the fledgling system apart. A familiar alliance forms between Darius Decker, Black Serpent monks, and Dr. Zand—now King Zand of planet Zandia. Can this group, spread across several worlds, reunite once more to save the Necklace of Nine Planets?
This sequel to The Necklace of Nine Planets tells the story of humanity’s tumultuous start to life in their new planetary system where survival is not guaranteed. What will the future hold?
