The Colony: Chapter 1: Arrival

"The Colony" is a science fiction short story series.



A colony of extraterrestrial migrants arrives on Earth hoping to integrate into society but a world, which becomes temporarily united, suddenly becomes inexplicably divided at the discovery that they are all alien-human hybrids.



When the alien colony ship appears in the skies above Earth, it carries secrets within it, which are as difficult to comprehend for humankind, as it is for the extraterrestrial travellers themselves.

The alien colonists have no memory of life before the ship, but they will discover a shocking truth about just how closely related to the inhabitants of Earth they all are, leading to confusion, chaos and fighting, threatening to destroy their hopes of assimilating smoothly into society.



In the first book of the series, Arrival, colonist Mikal, and his love, Arianna, are thrust into the center of a major revelation about the true origins of their people, a bombshell that won’t be the last.



The series explores multiple characters and their storylines, shifting from POV from the aliens to the humans and watching them intersect at key moments in time.
