Earth, Too Concludes Alan Barney's Science Fiction Trilogy

CHICAGO - Sept. 5, 2014 - PRLog -- Alan Barney concludes his science fiction trilogy with the publication of Earth, Too, published by Lulu (www.lulu.com).

The crew members of Centaur II return to Earth in the late twentieth-first century after completing over 30 years on the first exploratory mission to an extra-solar planet having life. Since their departure, terrorism and global warming have radically changed the people and environment of their home planet. This story follows the paths of three of the crew as they strive to uncover what became of their family, friends, and careers, and to rebuild their lives.

Gliese 4 told of the discovery of life on the fourth planet orbiting Gliese 876 and the problematic mounting of the first interstellar mission to visit it. New Nauru depicted mankind's first exploration of the planet and its surprising ecology until the crew is forced to leave by it alien master builders.
