The Kalisun Initiative

It's been twenty years since the first corporate moon base was constructed by the KaliSun Corporation and ten years since the last major combat between China and the United States. A severe arms reduction treaty created by the international community is the only thing keeping them apart. But now China has built a moon base that the United States believes to be for military purposes. They knew that if the China gained the high ground they wouldn't win the next war. In desperation, the US government reached out to the KaliSun Corporation with it's moon based research center and asked "Can you develop a weapons program?" The CEO of KaliSun, Edward Stokes, looked at the group standing before him. The President, Congress, and members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and smiled. "For a price, many things are possible."

The KaliSun Initiative: The Price of Progress

The second book, The Price of Progress, picks up immediately after the end of The KaliSun Initiative, as the consequences of the Corporation’s first attempt at interstellar travel become painfully evident. Daily combat rages around the Moon-Based Training Center as the two sides struggle to establish dominance. The Chinese, in an effort to secure the high ground for renewed combat on Earth, and the KaliSun Corporation trying to survive and maintain the tenuous link to their facility on Saturn’s moon Phoebe.

With their ability to return to Earth in question, the Director of Phoebe Base, John Hatfield, is confronted by the fears of his crew – fears only heightened when a new threat emerges from a most unexpected direction.
