The Fourth Realm

"The Fourth Realm" is a fiction story about intergalactic intrigue, mind-boggling technology and a desire for world dominance driven by dreams of conquest, power, love and hate.

The story begins in the year 2049. Nations were struggling to deal with multiple threats to their way of life. The great American experiment was in serious trouble due to the same social and economic chaos that caused the Great Depressions in 1929 and 2023.

Countries with predominantly European heritages resented the dilution of their cultures by people of color who they felt were bringing their countries with them rather than assimilating. Global warming added to the chaos.

Once again, Survivalism became a respected and serious topic. One group chose a radically different option. They decided to leave Earth.

What followed was the darkest period in history for intelligent life in the Orion belt of the Milky Way Galaxy. That was the state of affairs in the 5rd decade of the 21st century. Alien dialog has been translated into North American English.
