But to the dismay of the remaining survivors the rescue ship that arrives is of Mlosh origin.

The alien race known as the Mlosh had landed on earth in 1720, announcing that they only wished to join earth and its cultures, and be treated as equals among us. After some initial panic, they were welcomed, (begrudgingly in some quarters), into the company of man. Chief amongst that minority was Brent Carpenter who founded a radical terrorist group called the Human League.

The Mlosh introduced labor-saving machinery and by 1765 slavery was abolished. Emboldened by this success, they experiment with weather control technology but due to subtle differences with the Mlosh world, the results were catastrophic. Following a series of earthquakes, the fickle support of mankind swung to the Human League and after the nuclear destruction of the Mlosh city of Qu'Mar the aliens decided to quit the planet altogether.

Long after this explosive parting of the ways, human scientists had begun to speculate that the 2012 catastrophe might not be a Mayan prophecy, but rather a delayed reaction from the weather control technology. The Mlosh had their own suspicions and dispatched a rescue ship just in case. And so this element of doubt in the minds of scientists of both races opened the possibility of a reformed alliance between human and Mlosh.

Unfortunately human weakness revealed itself once again when the issue of trust quickly rose to the surface. Because calculations that the Earth would be unhabitable for centuries would require the human survivors to be placed in a state of near-death suspended animation..

Robbie Taylor's novel Warp is the story of a band of anti-Mlosh terrorists and the authorities who attempt to hunt them down. You can download on the novel Lulu web site. The author is hoping to release some titles on Kindle some time soon.
