Perpetual Wars - Special Relativity Series: Planning for Victory (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781998339006)

The continuance of the epic adventure story of United States Marine Gunnery Sergeant Michael Smith. The son of World War II Congressional Medal of Honor Winner Herald Smith, at age eighteen, Michael volunteers for the Marines in 1967 and is sent to fight on a Swift Boat in Vietnam. Out on patrol on the Cua Viet River in June of 1968, his boat is attacked by a UFO, and Michael is taken captive. Carried into outer space, he is recruited by none other than Zeus, the King of the Ancient Greek Gods. Originally from Atlantis, the Gods have been fighting in a rebellion of human slaves against an immortal alien race known as the Korantians and their human allies, the Harrapans, for thousands of years! Allied with the Nazcan people, a group of rebellious humans from South America, the Gods have been seeking a strategy to defeat the Korantians. Zeus and his beautiful daughter, the Goddess Athena, convince Michael to forsake his family and life on earth to join their quest to save humanity from the alien Korantians!

Their own planet dying, the Korantians are in the process of colonizing earth to save their species. A development force of 150,000 Korantians has come to the planet on three Supermotherships. They have been employing the human race as their slaves to prepare the earth for the arrival of their main Colonization Fleet. Their development plans, disrupted by the rebellion of their human slaves in Atlantis, the Korantians have lost control of the human race except for a small group of loyal humans, the Harrapans. Made up of 1000 Supermotherships and containing 50 million Korantians, their Colonization Fleet is due to arrive sometime between the years 2030 and 2100. When their Colonization Fleet arrives, the Korantians intend to take over planet earth, eliminate most of its human population, and enslave the rest. The rebellion has been kept secret from the earth's population by the Korantians and the Atlanteans, each of which has been secretly trying to manipulate the rest of the human societies of earth to enable the development of the planet's infrastructure. The Atlanteans plan to use the infrastructure to resist the Korantian Colonization Fleet. The Korantians plan to use the infrastructure to land and service their Fleet when it arrives. Both adversaries have hidden their activities from the earth's societies to forestall hindering social development and thus, human technology.

While being trained aboard the Atlantean Mothership Helios, which is orbiting the earth's solar system near light speed, Michael Smith manifests exceptional abilities and traits that the Greek Gods have been seeking to help them achieve victory over the Korantians.

In Planning for Victory, Book 9 of the Perpetual Wars-Special Relativity Series, Michael Smith must rescue Athena, who is being held captive on Christmas Island at a secret Korantian earth base. A major battle ensues, after which, the couple returns to the Mothership Helios. There, Michael lays out his plans, which are designed to bring about the defeat of the Korantians and secure the freedom of the human species! First though, they must root out some Korantian spies. Until the spies are uncovered, the Atlantean-Alliance will not be able to implement Michael's plans and achieve victory!

How can a boy from Kansas City, Missouri, U.S.A., save the human population of earth from an alien race and their fanatical human henchman who are intent on its mass depopulation and enslavement?
