Although presumed dead, the fanatical terrorist Saeed Ismail resurfaces to lead a global Jihad that leaves Earth in chaos. Aided by Founder Asshur, the besieged Israelis reluctantly forge a new homeland on Mars, and the Iapetus Federation expands to include all human settlements in the Solar System \u2013 except Earth. On Earth global Jihad rages and millions are put to the sword, while on Iapetus the Starchild Institute develops a new form of transportation using artificial worm-holes; but will this incredible new technology be ready in time to rescue Sam Houston and all that is left of the United States, the beleaguered Lone Star Conservancy? Can this technology solve the task of moving millions of terrified people to safety on Iapetus? Even as Earth sinks into medieval barbarism, technology-driven off-world humans develop longevity treatments while awaiting the return of the <em>Starchild<\/em>. They push scientific boundaries as they struggle heroically to survive and prosper in the far reaches of the Solar System \u2013 and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mr_social_sharing_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Social Sharing Toolkit v2.2 --><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><span style=\"display: inline-block; width: 51px; height: 21px; overflow: hidden;\"><div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/thrawnrickle.com\/?p=983\" data-send=\"false\" data-width=\"51\" data-show-faces=\"false\"><\/div><\/span><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><fb:share-button type=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/thrawnrickle.com\/?p=983\"><\/fb:share-button><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"none\" data-url=\"https:\/\/thrawnrickle.com\/?p=983\" data-text=\"The Iapetus Federation \u2013 Exodus from Earth\"><\/a><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><div class=\"g-plusone\" data-size=\"medium\" data-annotation=\"none\" data-href=\"https:\/\/thrawnrickle.com\/?p=983\"><\/div><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a class=\"mr_social_share_digg\" href=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthrawnrickle.com%2F%3Fp%3D983&amp;title=The+Iapetus+Federation+%E2%80%93+Exodus+from+Earth\" class=\"mr_social_sharing_popup_link\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thrawnrickle.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-sharing-toolkit\/images\/buttons\/digg.png\" class=\"nopin\" alt=\"Digg This\" title=\"Digg This\"\/><\/a><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a class=\"mr_social_share_reddit\" href=\"http:\/\/www.reddit.com\/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthrawnrickle.com%2F%3Fp%3D983\" class=\"mr_social_sharing_popup_link\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thrawnrickle.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-sharing-toolkit\/images\/buttons\/reddit.png\" class=\"nopin\" alt=\"Submit to reddit\" title=\"Submit to reddit\"\/><\/a><\/span><span class=\"mr_social_sharing\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"linksalpha_button linksalpha_link\" href=\"\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/social\/mobile\" data-url=\"https:\/\/thrawnrickle.com\/?p=983\" data-text=\"The Iapetus Federation \u2013 Exodus from Earth\" data-desc=\"Finally,\u00a0The Iapetus Federation, the third book in\u00a0The\u00a0Starchild Trilogy, is out to the reading public.
