- HISTORY OF FALLEN HAVEN
-
- The planet New Haven was supposed to be a paradise, an idyllic,
- peaceful new home for colonists from Old Earth. But that was before
- the wars broke out, before the provinces turned on one another ...
- and before the aliens arrived ...
-
- Unwittingly, Earth scientists awoke the sleepng giant of the Tauran
- war machine. The same deep-space probes that first discovered the
- planet of New Haven also alerted the aliens. Now the Taurans, warlike
- aliens previously unknown to humankind, have mounted an invasion,
- descending upon New Haven with one goal: total conquest
-
