Tranquility Under the Eagles by Greg Urbach 1.0


In the summer of 2049, Governor Thomas McKinsey engineered a coup d’etat to declare the moon a republic. Five months later, his rebels were dead and he was dying. With the planet below engaged in a prolonged global struggle, McKinsey programmed the computers of Tranquility to carry out his strategic vision of a united world, even if the unification needed to be established at a terrible cost. As an afterthought, he instructed the colony’s advanced computer systems to raise the moon’s only surviving resident, Grey Waters, a baby destined to grow up on an abondoned moonbase with machines as his only companions.


Now its 21 years later and independence has been won for the rebel Lunar Republic. After coming of age in the isolation of the Tranquility Colony, Grey has finally met others of his own kind, but those close to him believe he often risks his life unnecessarily. To help curb these reckless tendencies, his grandfather urges him to enroll at the West Point Military Academy where he meets new friends and encounters strange traditions. But his education is suddenly interrupted when he learns that Kris Fairfield has been ordered to join a Northern Alliance mission to attack an alien outpost Mars. Knowing the expedition is ill-equipped to challenge the secret Arikhan base, Grey and a few intrepid companions determine to follow her regardless of the risks.
