In the 22nd Century, an ancient prophesy reveals that a Messiah will appear on an alien planet at the end of days. The Alien Corps is formed to search the Galaxy for signs. A hundred years on, their quest is floundering...

Book 1: Avanaux

Commander Hickory Lace is sent to the planet Prosperine to investigate rumours of a miracle worker known as the Teacher. Before she can complete her mission, she discovers a plot by the non-aligned planets to seize Prosperine's priceless resources for faster-than-light travel.

Hickory must find a way to stop the aliens and at the same time determine who the Teacher is.

Book 2: Rise of the Erlachi

Six months after defeating the rebel alliance, Commander Hickory Lace and her team are back on the alien planet, Prosperine. The Sword of Connat-sèra-Haagar is missing and Hickory must find and return it to the temple in Avanaux.

The quest takes Hickory to the rugged country of Erlach where she faces the fearsome Riv-Amok, then deep into the mountains where the rebel leader, Sequana, has overthrown the rightful king and is rallying the northern clans to war.

Hickory must find a way to restore the king to his throne, and rescue the mysterious Teacher from Sequana’s dungeons. Only then can she hope to defeat Sequana and win back the Sword.

Book 3: The Scarf

Commander Hickory Lace and her team are back. This time, their destination is the Scarf – a six hundred miles band of floating islands and reefs on the equator. The islands are covered with swamp and jungle and connected by a thick blanket of floating creepers and vines.

Alarm bells are set ringing when a Bikashi jet is sighted in the area. The Agency fear that alien forces may be on a mission to retrieve the legendary sword of Connat-sèra-Haagar. In the hands of the Bikashi, it would pose a threat to the Agency's plans.

But does the sword have another purpose?

In this, the final episode of The Prosperine Trilogy, Hickory faces her greatest fear, discovers the secret to the planet's past, and unravels the mystery of the Teacher.
