Summary

LEAVE EARTH OR DIE The electromagnetic field around the Earth is fading away, and with it the protection it provides against solar radiation. Soon the planet will burn, and everything and everyone on the planet will die. Deep Space Vessel Triznov is the first human interstellar colony ship, and she is nearly ready to launch in search of a new habitable planet to colonize among the stars... The United Nations has refused to arm the colony ships with powerful military weapons for their defense, or permitted a military escort under the guise of refusing to export war to the universe... International bankers, determined to take political and economic control of the new colony, are behind the U.N.'s 'Unarmed Colonist" decision. Unknown to the United Nations, they are secretly building a fleet of heavily armed Space Cruisers to follow the colonists to their new planet, OASIS, to enforce their continued lust for power... Radical religious zealots are intent on preventing unbelievers from exporting their wickedness to the heavens, even if they have to destroy the colony ships and the hopes of all mankind... A greedy Russian Colonel has possession of a nuclear warhead to sell to the right buyer... In the midst of immense international tension, a worldwide riot threatens to break out among the terrified majority who finally understand that they will be left behind to die... Three unlikely teenagers leading a tiny group of political dissidents are all that stand in the way of the power brokers and those determined to prevent the colonization of the universe. Along the way they discover that they need the help of someone greater than themselves.
