The Guardians - Ahead of our Time?

As you know, from time to time I like to highlight how the adventures of the Guardians keeps its collective finger on the pulse of reality.

Recently, I mentioned one of the planets that the Guardians help colonize, Kalliste.

However, this is just one of a number of worlds where they do such things.

In the very latest book currently being written - Phoenix Rising - there's a grand revelation regarding the Ceol Star system, and a rather unique symbiosis with a very special place, Armoin.

Ceol is an M class Red Dwarf with one planet within the habitable zone. (An area also known as the Goldilocks zone, which is the region within which a planetary-mass object with sufficient atmospheric pressure can support liquid water on its surface)

Obviously, the bounds of the habitable zone are calculated knowing the requirements of Earth's biosphere, its position within the solar system, and the amount of radiant energy it receives from the sun. Such factors are believed instrumental in determining the scope and distribution of extraterrestial life and intelligence.

The stuff of sheer fiction perhaps?

Well, please take a look at this rather interesting press release from the CETI institute regarding exactly that kind of thing with a real life Red Dwarf (Kepler 186) and an actual world called Kepler 186f.

It makes interesting reading, and is another example where the science fiction of today, may very well become the science fact of tomorrow.

Enjoy :)

Guardians

A year has passed from the worldwide referendum in which the people of Earth asked the Guardians to leave. Not long after, things begin to spiral out of control. But luckily for them, a small group of Guardians remained behind in secret. They are safeguarding mankind’s welfare, keeping watch on them and waiting for them to have a change of heart.

Fallen Angels

Five years have passed since the murder of the Lord Marshal. His killers remain at large, fomenting monstrous plots that, if successful, will wreak havoc upon the citizens of Earth. It appears the authorities are no closer to apprehending those responsible and some wonder if their protectors are all they make themselves out to be.
Despite appearances, the Guardians have been far from idle. Each nation’s resources and technologies continue to grow and flourish. Huge strides have been made in welfare and development. Other worlds have been prepared for colonization. And all the while, behind the scenes, the noose has been closing in upon the fiends who committed such an atrocious act.
When it finally snaps shut, the results are bound to be explosive, and the fallout, far-reaching. With the future of the Earth at stake, how widespread will the consequences be?
