Battling alien warriors, man-eating monsters, gnome assassins

missing planetary expedition….

….school field trips shouldn't be this dangerous…

HIGH STAKES

TerraGen Universal is the world leader in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, with patents valued in the billions of U.S. dollars—technology patents that corporate sharks and government agents would kill for. 

A DOOMED EXPEDITION

TerraGen discovered the existence of a wormhole and seized the opportunity to set up a remote laboratory 2.4 million light years across the universe, on a planet code-named ‘Genesis’. 

But now that expedition has gone missing…

A DARING RESCUE

Six teenagers, each the scions of world-renowned scientists lost on the expedition, are swept up by an army of mercenaries in a rescue mission to find their parents. 

Meanwhile on Genesis, a race of aliens awaits a mighty warrior who will save them from the power of the Shadow Lord. Who will step up and answer their call?

OUR HERO

Jeremy Austin never asked to save a planet— it's hard enough just being a "B" average student as the son of a world-famous geneticist. He also didn't ask to be attacked by gnome assassins, didn't choose to become food for a prehistoric monster, would never have thought consorting with wizards a wise concept, and he definitely would never, ever sign up to do sword combat against the bloodthirsty Gnome King. 

As Jeremy and his five high school friends embark on their rescue mission on a nightmare planet, their search becomes lost in a struggle for survival….

War World is Jurassic Park meets Lord of the Rings, and the first exciting book in a new trilogy. Rod C. Spence blends suspense and futuristic science in this fantasy techno-thriller, featuring a cast of diverse, YA characters. Published by Gallant Press.
