Crude Space - Paperback

by Zane Palmer (Author)

Time after time humanity evolves to escape from the expanding reaches of extinction. The third planet from the yellow sun has long burned out as the human race claims strange new worlds in the galaxy. Seven Colonies of Man, known as The Nomical Order, reign supreme. Law is enforced by the Augustus Colony, home to the Capital Planet, Octavian.

The wars that ended mankind's time on their virgin planet echo through generations. There is tension within The Nomical Order. Deep within the Hadrian Colony resides a Planet made from nothing, known as StarMetro. Word spreads of a powerful psychic's prediction, the discovery of an ancient evil. Said to be a weapon to eradicate mankind, in the right hands it could bring about Pax Armata, man's last hope for peace.

Called in at the final hour, an elite team of Prometheans (PROs) boards their ship in an effort to maintain order. But even in their elite psychic ranks, imbalance finds itself, as a new recruit joins the unit.
