Off the coast of Kenya, within sight of the lights of Takaungo, a cofferdam the size of a football stadium surrounds a top secret archeological excavation of three distinctly alien spacecraft-six legged beetle-shaped vessels with black chrysalis hulls. Over five hundred years have passed since the three Enferian troop carriers inexplicably landed in the sea. Now, with the Earth Confederation and the Enferian Empire at war, these long-forgotten sunken relics may hold the key to victory. The man behind the project, Yang Han, son of American astronaut Wendy Nagumo and Chinese taikonaut Yang Zintao, hopes the spacecraft will yield intelligence information vital to the war effort, like the secrets of Enferian gravity-wave communications and Galactic wormhole navigation. When he receives word one of the Enferian warriors on board may still be alive, the project takes on historic proportions. If true, this would be the first live subject ever obtained. The Enferian is taken to an isolation chamber for further study, an autopsy if necessary, its features hidden beneath an opaque membrane. As the membrane dissolves, Han begins to see the truth about himself and the Enferian. He sets out on a journey that not only gives him the answers he seeks and more, but also pits him against the Enferians and treacherous elements of the Confederation itself in a do or die battle that could alter the future of the Galaxy.

Overcoming adversity is nothing new to Chris Cooper. He did it as Mission Director for President Olivia Kane when the United States returned to the Moon and claimed the mineral rights to the Helium-3 deposits beneath the Shackleton crater. Now, as President, he must do it again. For millennia, the Enferians have ruled the Galaxy with an iron hand, ruthlessly eliminating nascent civilizations that refuse to subjugate themselves to the totalitarian requirements of the Empire. The Nzuri, an advanced space-faring race much like humans, went to war with the Enferians and nearly won. Now, it is mankind's turn. The sighting of an Enferian probe over Mars is followed 5.2 years later by a deadly attack on Olympus, the capitol and largest city of the red planet. Meanwhile, another probe is sighted over Beijing. Does that mean an attack on the Earth will follow in another 5.2 years? If so, the Earth is not prepared to defend itself, much less take the war to the Enferian's home world. Can Chris mobilize the nations of the world to act? Will the Earth be ready for the next Enferian attack? Can it defeat the Enferians in the next Galactic war? Or will the Earth and all of its inhabitants end up like Bantu, the home planet of the Nzuri--a dust ring circling the sun? Find out in the thrilling third book of the Apollo Evolutions series.

Wendy Nagumo beat all the odds to be the first woman to travel to Mars. Thirty years later, she's battling an enemy she can not overcome. Terminal cancer may be eating away at her body, but she's determined to make one last dangerous journey to the Moon to see her new granddaughter. For years, Tycho City and Clavius Station have sought independence from China through peaceful means, but when separatists blow a hole in the pressure dome that protects Tycho City, things get out of control. Wendy must elude the police, revolutionaries, and Chinese mafia if she's to make it out of Tycho City and get to Clavius Station in time to meet her granddaughter before the cancer takes its toll. With all shuttle flights in and out of Clavius shut down, the only way there is a treacherous overland route that passes through the badlands, a lawless region frequented by outlaws and thieves. Luckily, she meets Tom, an engaging Japanese-American with a heart of gold and a way of solving problems that's almost too good to be true.

"We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard...", stated former President Kennedy on September 12, 1962.

Too bad the United States has allowed its manned space program to fall apart. The space shuttles are museum pieces and the International Space Station now belongs to the United Nations. When intelligence reports reveal China's plan to establish a permanent base on the Moon, former astronaut, U.S. President Olivia Kane is faced with a challenge she must confront: Will nuclear weapons soon be aimed at the United States from above, or will the Moon be the site of the next great war?
