In 2078, Earth was invaded.
After the Fall tells the stories of that time.
Excerpt from 'Good Intentions':
Zeph:
I’m not certain what fickle vagary caused my pause near the market area where slaves were bought and sold. Slavery’s a vile, barbaric practice my kind refuses to condone, believing it wrong to claim ownership of another being. Unfortunately, many other species do not believe the same way.
Whatever it was, I found myself transfixed by the sight of a human female standing on the block. I’d seen humans before; my cousin Pral’s mate, and his friend Mrir’s sesslin. This one was nothing like those two. They were both smaller than Katarr females; this one was of a height to females of my own kind.
Her hair, as they call the miniscule amounts of fur-like covering that adorns them, was as pure white as portions of my own were. And her eyes…I’d never seen eyes that seemed to change color with every movement.
Realizing a Xenite and other unsavory beings were bidding on her, I moved through the crowd. My thoughts were to purchase her, and take her home to Katarr when I returned, where I would turn her over to Mrir’s sesslin for resettlement in one of the human colonies.
As none would prefer to challenge a Katarr warrior, my bid was the last to be heard.
