If you like Star Trek, you will like this book.
Human survivors of a nuclear holocaust are rescued by friendly aliens and taken to their home planet to establish a colony and rebuild their civilization.
Earth’s population is nearly wiped out, except for one thousand survivors who are rescued by the Reptons, a friendly race of reptilian humanoids from the Tau Ceti system. The Reptons take the humans to their home planet and help them establish a colony, led by Charles Pankin. He works with Interplanetary Ambassador George Abooli and Repton officials to make it happen, with plans for a return to Earth to establish a new civilization there. The Reptons’ nearly-utopian society serves as an example for the humans to follow. However, as the colony develops, Charles and the colonists face daunting challenges, personal tragedies, and a major catastrophe.
The nuclear war that everyone has always feared finally comes to pass after friendly reptilian humanoids, the Reptons, reveal themselves to the people of Planet Earth. Unable to halt the cataclysm, they manage to save a paltry one thousand humans and transport them to the aliens’ home planet in the Tau Ceti system. There the Reptons help the humans establish a colony to act as a latter-day Noah’s Ark until such time as the Earth can once again be made habitable.
Charles Pankin, the leader of the colony, works with Interplanetary Ambassador George Abooli and the Repton rulers to prepare for the day when humans can return home. With the example of the Reptons’ nearly-utopian society to follow, Pankin believes he can evade the mistakes that almost led to the extinction of the human race.
However, the age-old dream of a utopian society once again collides with the imperfections of human nature. The colonists find they must overcome daunting challenges and personal tragedies to achieve their goal of a repopulated and peaceful Earth. Then something else goes wrong.
Excerpt
George watched intently, his heart pounding and knees shaking, as the creature slowly approached him without making a sound. He didn’t see any weapons in the alien’s hands, so maybe it didn’t intend to hurt him.
He froze like a deer in front of a car’s headlights at night as the being came to a stop five feet away, bracing for whatever would happen next.
“Greetings, Earthling,” the creature said in a gruff baritone voice.
George’s jaw dropped as he heard that. “You speak English!”
“Yes. We’ve studied your planet and your languages.”
“Incredible!”
“I’m Bax Dazzerfy, captain of this starship. I’m what you might call a Repton, and we’re from the second planet in the planetary system of a star you refer to as Tau Ceti, about twelve light-years away. And you are?”
