Act Of God Book In The Beginning

What could happen if climate change forced humanity to find a new home? To make the journey we must leave behind our most cherished beliefs and hatreds and have faith that God will find us again in the stars.

Act of God 

Book 1: In the Beginning

By Jan Byron Strogh 

Genre: Science Fiction, Space Opera

Earth is facing a coming ice age. Humanity has marshalled its technology and resources in an attempt to delay the great cold; a diversion necessary to maintain hope for the people.

But some few know the truth. There is little hope left on Earth. But there may still be hope in the stars. 

Michael, ward of the church since childhood is summoned for humanity’s most ambitious and secret undertaking. Shepard the human race to a new home. 

Finished construction, 240 million kilometres from the sun is the Ark. The ship designed to carry one half million souls in suspended animation to a new world. 

But the mission of the Ark is more than simply saving the human species. Its creator, the New Unified Church must save the human spirit and accomplish what humanity never attempted; bring together the religions of the world and expunge the ancient hatreds that dominate doctrine. 

But the cost to the church will be its very existence. In order to unify, all agree that the Ark must not carry the symbols, books or even the knowledge of any of the old religions.

To survive, humanity must lose God and have faith that God will find them in the stars.

Excerpt:

It felt like no time at all had passed when Michael woke again. This time the lights in the medical bay were bright.

His arms no longer felt like paper weights and the twitching was gone. As predicted, he was a bit hungry. “Hello,” he called again, sitting up on his elbows.

He looked around. The med bay looked stark and barren, and he could no longer see the panel on the wall. His was the only suspension berth in the room.

Deborah appeared from behind the berth. She smiled but looked tired and a bit haggard. “Is something wrong?” were the first words out of his mouth.

“Nothing is wrong,” she replied. “I knew you would start asking questions. That’s why I am still here, long after my shift was over. I must look like crap.” 

She pulled a chair up along side his berth and handed him a closed flask. “Here, drink this while I give you a status report.” 

He flipped open the lid of the flask and brought it to his nose. He thought he could smell vegetable soup. 

“What’s this?” he queried. “It smells like vegetable soup.”

“Very good. It is vegetable soup. Now eat,” she replied firmly.

He began to sip the liquid as she spoke. “Michael, I was not completely happy with your blood results. Your hormones are slightly elevated. I have moved you to a private room. I want to keep you here for another day of rest. There’s nothing to worry about, I am just being cautious.”

“I feel fine, can I at least get out of this tube?”

“No not yet. I don’t want any physical stress on you at the moment. I want you to finish your soup now and rest. Now, Michael, promise me you’re not going to be a difficult patient,” she pleaded.

“OK,” he conceded. “If I can’t move, how about sending one of the officers here for me to ask a few questions.” 

“Out of the question!  I have asked you to rest and you can’t rest if you’re being a commander. You know the dangers of reanimation sickness. I am not going to allow anything that might possibly upset you.”

“But you said everything was going great. What can it hurt to speak to an officer?” 

“Everything is going great. But what if the officer I send tells you that some, electro do dad, has shorted out? Even if it’s totally routine and easy to fix you might start giving orders and taking charge. I want you to rest,” she commanded.

 “Alright, alright,” he gave in, “can I at least ask what star system we’re in?” 

“Oh, so now I’m an asrto-navigator, is that it,” she complained jokingly.

“You’re going to get at least one more day of rest and another blood test before I allow you anything. Is that clear! Now everything is just fine.”

But everything was not fine, and she knew it. She needed to keep up her act. She needed him as strong and rested as possible before telling him the truth; that everything was far, far, from fine.

Excerpt:

Sergeant Desi Hernandez looked through his scope and scanned the ridgeline. It had been weeks since they went on a mercenary mission, and now they were back to ridding the planet of Friesland of the holdouts.

To him, it was a good thing when they killed the enemy, as there wouldn’t be more trying to pierce the blockade that was run when it was known as Mashara.

Sighing he saw nothing, but given the reports that there was an enemy, none was showing their face, so he stopped scanning and looked at his spotter for a second, then went back to scanning. Movement.

He saw the head bob up and quickly down, unsure if he had a helmet on or not.

“Come on you fucker, put your head up.” He said as he adjusted the aimpoint of the scope, bringing it onto where the head bobbed up.

“You’d figure they would get the hint.” Sergeant Shandek said as she too covered the area where Hernandez was looking.

he had put down her spotting imager and was just as determined to shoot the enemy as he was.

She saw some movement in her scope, and she took aim and fired, sending a projectile toward the bobbing head.

It missed, but it drove the target’s head up, and then another crack and it exploded as the round impacted and penetrated it.

There was no helmet to soften the blow, so the person died instantly, the body sliding back down into the foxhole it was hiding in.

“Well, it worked, though unplanned.” Sergeant Hernandez said while he continued to scan for more targets. Nothing more presented iself, and he figured that was the only inhabitant anyway. Reports said so.

“Glad to be of assistance.” Sergeant Shandek said with some sarcasm as she too continued to scan. “You think there are more?”

“Of course, they never left.” Sergeant Hernandez said in a near-whisper as he focused on scanning for more targets.

It had been some time since they left Earth, and while that deployment didn’t entail much shooting on his part, he figured that it was worth some of his time, but he did want to leave the unit.

He was enamored with mercenary life and secretly liked the mercenary-style missions that the unit did perform.

To him that seemed to offer more freedom for him and Shandek was learning the ropes quite well, so she could take over his job anytime. However, he didn’t re-enlist so he had some time before his current contract ran out.

And he had been saving his money for the time when he left. It was a sad thing, given his situation, but he wanted to explore the known universe and conduct missions on his terms.

“Yeah, suggest we keep the team in their positions?”

“Yeah, they don’t need to move around too much, there’s not much out here anyway, and we have a better shot at killing them.” Sergeant Hernandez said as he scanned the area.

It had been a good day today; the weather was beautiful and not too annoying. But it was hot, and he didn’t like that fact as he continued to look around the area of the dead hostile.

He figured that it wouldn’t last, being on Friesland a good day was rare, and the forecast did include a dust storm tomorrow, but not around him. And it was up to the CO to determine if his squad would stay out overnight, as they had another sweep of this area.
