Extended description

“My name is Haldor Olsen. I was happy once. I had everything a man could want: a good job, a beautiful wife and an amazing son. In a flash it was ripped away. What remains is a raging ember of what I once was. The Hrymar came without warning, hungry for slaves. At first attacking ships, and then our first colony on Epsilon Eridani. Now they’re coming for Earth. I have to stop them… somehow.”

Some doors should never be opened.

In 2013, two researchers decipher a puzzle on an ancient Scandinavian runestone leading to contact with an alien race, the Alfar, 600 light-years away; A century later, millions would wish they'd never unlocked that secret.

Some doors should never be opened.

In 2013, two researchers decipher a puzzle on an ancient Scandinavian runestone leading to contact with an alien race, the Alfar, 600 light-years away; A century later, millions would wish they'd never unlocked that secret.

The benevolent Alfar uplift mankind technologically and teach them that,180,000 years ago, the Norse Gods seeded their world, as well as Earth. The Gods instructed the Alfar to shepherd humanity to the stars once they'd advanced enough to unlock the secret on the runestones; this great gift became a curse.

As man plied the stars and began colonization, they encountered other advanced races, including the Hrymar, depraved slave traders.

Haldor Olsen, a government explorer and sometime spy, becomes a reluctant hero when his home is attacked, and he's faced with losing everything he loves. He travels hundreds of light-years in a frantic race to save mankind from enslavement by an inhuman enemy.

----------------------------------

Brothers will fight and kill each other,
sisters’ children will defile kinship.
It is harsh in the world, whoredom rife
an axe age, a sword age
shields are riven,
a wind age, a wolf age
before the world goes headlong.
No man will have mercy on another.
