The Alien Corps

Created to find the Son of God in remote parts of the galaxy, the Alien Corps has come across many charlatans, warlocks, and sorcerers, but never a true Messiah…at least, not yet.
There are reports of trouble on Prosperine—a medieval planet critically important to Earth and its allies. Revolutionaries are intent on returning the planet to the dark ages, while a spiritual leader called the Teacher has been seen performing miracles.
Commander Hickory Lace and her team are sent to investigate. They quickly become embroiled in murder, espionage, and an elaborate plot to steal the planet’s stocks of the rare metal crynidium, essential for faster than light travel.
Hickory has one shot. She must banish the pain from her past and embrace the powerful empathic gifts she was born with. Only then will she have a chance to stop the revolution, discover what the Teacher is up to, and decide whether he is a fraud—or perhaps the very person the Corps was created to find.
The Alien Corps, Book One in the Prosperine Series, is also available in paperback.
What readers are saying about this epic space adventure.
“A Great read. Had me at the first chapter. Did not want to stop. Love the plot, the storyline, the action!!”
“McDermott creates a very original and hopeful future world similar to the kind of sci-fi I grew up loving. His alien characters are delightful and believable. I could not wait to read the second book, Rise of the Erlachi which is even better!”
«This a full-blown outer space adventure. Well described characters and a nicely paced story that has a nice flow to it. I read it straight thru cover to cover.»
