Aprician Files: The Star People

Many ages ago, in a far off galaxy the Aprician Star People faced extinction as their sun began to die, threatening their twelve-planet system. In desperation, Master Nuri, the leader of the Council of Twelve, sent renowned explorer Girin to find a new home. His expedition ventured beyond their known universe and led them to Earth.

Girin commanded a fleet of ships that interconnected to form the main vessel, each representing a different planet of Apricus. Their arrival unleashed unforeseen dangers. Some crew members, seduced by a dark, sinister energy, sought to spread chaos throughout human history. Yet, time and again, those with pure, untainted energy rose to oppose them, restoring fragile peace to the land-until the cycle began anew.

Now, in the 1960s, a new group driven by dark energy has emerged, and they are seeking Earth's ultimate power: the UTU, the source of the Sun's lifegiving energy. Their goal? Is to enslave humanity and destroy the planet and claim dominion.

Girin, now a metamorphic guardian of Earth's enlightenment, assumes the form of a military enlisted man who is assigned to the investigative team into the UTU, hoping to stop the dark energy. But can he stand alone against a force fueled by hatred, destruction, and unrelenting malevolence?

Blending mysticism, martial arts, and a gripping battle between light and darkness, Aprician Files is the thrilling prequel to Zeke, the first installment in the Ezekiel Reeves series.
