Reaching Beyond: Verge of Empire

Set in an uncertain future where Earths environmental problems and dwindling natural resources are producing ongoing catastrophic disasters, space, and what lies out there, is a compelling option for the future survival of mankind.

The promise of a better life amongst the stars is the lure that could not only lead to salvation, but will take humans to the brink of establishing an impressive galactic empire. However, on beginning the initial stages of colonisation of Tau Ceti, the possibility of first contact with an intelligent, yet dangerously hostile species presents itself. As humans and the new species plunge headlong towards an interstellar war, a new menace is emerging from within. It is a peril that not only threatens technological and exploratory progress, but could push mankind to the point of extinction.

Mat Kemel, a techno-scientist, seems to be the only one to understand what lies ahead, but could he provide the answers to the mounting problems that may destroy millions and ultimately, engulf life itself?
