The Rogue Intruder is an action thriller that begins in the year 2147. Imagine that after 130 years, many of today's technologies will have matured, much like when the first powered human flight took place in 1903 and, 66 years later, humans landed on the moon.
By the mid-21st century, a worldwide civil war erupted, killing over 5 billion people. Unigov, a brutal one-world government, came into power, filling the void caused by the collapse of social order. Unigov evolved its rule to be absolute, using technology that past dictators could not have dreamed of. This totalitarian, state-controlled capitalist regime utilized multiple cameras, drones, satellites, and vicious robotroopers enhanced with artificial intelligence to control the masses. Breaking Unigov laws and edicts was punishable by either immediate execution carried out by patrolling robotroopers or internment in reeducation camps for 'enlightenment, ' which, for most, was far worse than death.
In 2147, mankind was living and working in space. To escape the savageness of Unigov, Dr. Timothy Grey and his colleagues, with the help of BMW Mining, decided to build an interstellar spaceship and hide it next to BMW's main mining facility in the asteroid belt. The spaceship was designed to take them and their future generations to Kepler-452c, Earth's twin. However, before they could complete the spaceship, a rogue black hole racing toward the solar system was discovered by an amateur teenage Russian astronomer.
Mankind now has 81 years to save itself. Can Dr. Grey and his colleagues complete the interstellar ship and leave the solar system before Unigov can commandeer it, or will they perish in the inescapable annihilation?
