The Genesis Engine

 Volume 2 – The Genesis Engine” of “The Alchemist Cables”  Copyright ©  2024 David Marsh

The war is over. The human invaders from the other world took just twenty-one days to obtain global surrender. Now Earth is at peace, they say. There will be no more wars. No more borders. No more poverty. Criminality and hate and bigotry will not be tolerated.  Many believe the invaders, known as Vatics, are humans of higher consciousness.  

They are wrong.

Unknown to the people of Earth, the war is still being fought. On the Vatic world called Planet-M, trillions of light years distant, Earth’s future lies in the hands of three fleeing warriors who’ve escaped from Earth. The first warrior is Rah, born on M, a barmy scientist who inadvertently discovered the continuum gate (the inter-dimensional corridor to Earth) and wishes he hadn’t. The second is Jack, a seventeen-year-old protégé tasker who sees the periodic table in his mind and manipulates atoms at will. And lastly,  Jaewil, a fiery teenage techfettle—an Einstein of gadgetry—born on M but an Earth girl at heart who will  do anything to stay at Jack’s side.  Having escaped from Earth, back on Planet-M, the trio must now brave the hardship of the dying planet’s scorched desert, defend themselves against black lightning, hurricane-force winds, and desperados who will eat anything, while they seek out the underhaven rebels who can help them defeat the deceitful vatic rulers of M and take back Earth for the people of Earth.

“The Alchemist cables” is a Young Adult book series that unfolds on two worlds, present day Earth and a dying planet known as M, as seventeen-year-old Jack Paige struggles with his two identities: an American who loves football and baseball, whose known to risk his life climbing tall trees to rescue his neighbor’s wayward cat;  and his alter-ego, his true self, a heroic freedom fighting rebel from the planet Planet-M, where many believe he’s the reborn, destined to save the people of that planet from the grips of a sinister corporation.
