In the Name of Earth

Thiago Marques Science Fiction

For as long as he can remember, Marvin Grant dreamt of being a successful diplomat like his father, to travel the world solving crisis and helping those in need. On the day his dream is coming true, however, he learns a shocking truth: his father is part of the Earth’s Diplomatic Services, a secret organization tasked with representing humanity before the endless species of the Milky Way.

Through delicate negotiations, intricate bureaucracies and intergalactic dealings, the EDS has kept the unwitting people of Earth safe for centuries, all the while guiding technological evolution.

While Marvin, the newest EDS recruit, learns the treacherous ways of extraterrestrial politics, a plot forms across the galaxy. The Globians, a ruthless race driven by profit and ambition, set their sights on Earth. Intent on turning the human homeworld into their newest interstellar luxury resort, the only obstacle in their path are the EDS diplomats, who they will stop at nothing to destroy.

Furthermore, Marvin will soon learn not that all of Earth’s representatives have humanity’s best interests at heart. Between Globian pressure and the internal struggles for power, it doesn’t take long before the EDS crumbles. Now the hopes of preventing the end of the world rest on the hands of five unlikely individuals:

The young diplomat-to-be Marvin Grant, his witty engineer roommate, an ice-cold administrator prone to whistling, a hardened space marine shrouded in secrets and an exiled alien pilot. In order to save Earth, the ragtag band must come together, set out to the stars in search for answers and learn that the most dangerous things in outer space may not be alien at all!
