The main characters of the story, Astronaut and Air Force Colonel Alan Russell and his second in command, Astronaut and Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Frank Connors must defeat the Imperial presence on the Moon and become ambassadors to the aliens: known only as the Anstarians.

The Anstarians are racing against time as they attempt to evade capture by their war-monger brethren, the Warriors. The mysterious Warriors, Anstarians who live for battle and conquest, will stop at nothing to capture the traitorous pacifist Anstarians. Nothing of the peace-loving scientist Anstarians and nothing of Earth will remain if the nations of Earth cannot find a way to unite in the common interest of survival of the human species.

The saga begins with Earth Defiant, Book One of the Grand Crusade Trilogy, the story of mankind’s imminent future.
