The Rustlers of Alpha Colony: Chronicles of Alpha Colony Book 1
eBook
( Oct. 11, 2016)
There’s a crisis on Alpha Colony, the first of Earth’s colonies outside the solar system. The planet Alpha, located in the Centauri System, is a perfect agricultural world. That’s why Earth wants to keep it and exploit its resources for its own benefit. The contract that established the colony is due to expire, and one of the conditions for granting Alpha Colony its independence is not as simple as it seems. The planet’s farms and ranches must meet a strict quota of grain and livestock to be shipped to Earth over the term of the contract. If that quota isn’t met, Alpha Colony will remain under Earth’s heavy-handed rule for many more years—or perhaps forever.
There’s just one problem. Large amounts of cattle have gone missing. Could there be rustlers on Alpha Colony? It seems unthinkable, but a trio of middle school students has stumbled across evidence that has them convinced someone is stealing cattle. Without the missing cattle, the colony can’t make its quota. But will anyone believe these three boys? Will they be able to find evidence to convince the planetary leaders before it’s too late?
This first book in the Chronicles of Alpha introduces David Lloyd, his family, and his best friends, Coby Steinberg and Joshua Bateman. Are these three intrepid young detectives involved in a challenge far beyond their abilities? Or will they be able to meet the challenge and save their home world?
