ARK I: The Sixth Extinction

by RRomanowski

The first book of many. Based on all the Sonic the Hedgehog properties up until the Genesis wave, but with a human spin. A spaceship carrying a strange new element crash lands on Earth in 1870, and a group of scientists fight to keep it from a secret authoritarian power. But darker forces are at play, and an evil empire is on the rise. Based more in reality, and Marvel-like.

January 5, 1871

A rather pleasant telegram arrived from Emmett:

"Your reputation has preceded you. Some people out here would like to meet you. I urge you to visit us in California. I will arrange for your stay. Adam is nearing completion. Best of luck."

I am deeply flattered that, against everything that transpired, Emmett, and some members of the new delegation, wish to remain in touch with me. It gave me a mighty big smile. I recall stepping out on the university law for lunch, relishing the sky to ponder something I never considered until then. Destiny has been drawing me closer westward. Perhaps I will find the consolation and closure I so yearn for. Something is awaiting my arrival—this much I know. Now I sit at my desk, basking in the lunar light, quietly observing the shimmering moon. The air is rich with fortune.
