Zero-Gs Part I:
The Armor Eternal
Earth. We broke it. Fought over it, left it in ruins. All was lost.
Then they came. From the stars. The Messengers.
Saviors or a great deception?
EARTH 2045
Following a devastating global economic collapse, civilization struggles on. Christians everywhere proclaimed the Meltdown to be the Great Tribulation, but instead of a rescuing rapture, “they” came on the scene to save us. The Messengers turned the lights back on, cleaned up the radiation, stopped the pandemics. But a handful of Christians suspect that these extraterrestrials might not be the benevolent benefactors they claim to be. Some even believe that they are a Great Deception: “And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie” (2nd Thess 2:11). Those who spoke out against the Messengers have mysteriously vanished. Earth’s foremost robotics scientist was one such believer and now he’s gone too. To his only son, he leaves behind two things. The first is a way to fight back, in the form of an armored exo-suit—possibly humanity’s last and only hope. The second is a hastily scrawled message…

A STORY ABOUT
BRAVERY
We think we'll rise to the challenge during a crisis, but would we really? Most talk a brave talk yet shrivel in the face of danger. How will the characters in Zero-Gs respond against overwhelming—no astronomical—odds? A "coming of age" story of epic proportion...
HUMANITY
What does it mean to be human? What scientific or technological advancement will take us beyond our current form and into humanity 2.0? Could the Mark of the Beast be much more than just a chip? Adding unsanctioned animal and "alien" DNA is the beastly trigger about to damn our race...
CATASTROPHE
As if losing our gravity was not enough, add to it an aggressive cancer quickly dwindling Earth's already struggling population, an intolerant society eager to evolve and do away with traditional religion (or those who practice it), and rumors persist of global war bubbling like a cauldron ready to blow...
