Showing results for "The Prophets" in Hard Science Fiction

I am the one of the end, the world maker, and the god breaker. Time is unraveling and Earth is doomed to wander the dark of space, unmoored from the galaxy itself. Galiaro’s plan for humanity’s escape to another dimension has failed and his dark matter robot creations, Beetro and Curse, were imprisoned in a nanoscopic black hole. Now, the entire planet is blighted by drought, the oceans heave beyond their bounds, and thousands are dispossessed. The end of the cosmos was foreseen by an ancient Alchean prophet named Othel.

A strange alien calling himself the Prophet has appeared in orbit above Earth, and the planet's most powerful weapons have proven useless against his ship's defenses. To make matters worse, the Prophet tells mankind that Earth will soon be invaded and destroyed if the Earth's nations don't learn how to live in peace and start building to meet the coming enemy. Failure to change humanity's warlike ways will lead to its destruction.
