The Guardians – Threat Of Extinction begins with a Lataran Guardianship leaving their home planet on a mission to investigate a report that one of their protector planets had been attacked by a new enemy alien race called the Tyrax who have invaded their star systems. First Commander Òmon is in charge of the Guardianship named Poltara. What Òmon finds on the mission is abhorrent to his species. The Tyrax would not negotiate for peace. They seemed intent upon eliminating any race they discovered to take control of the planet for themselves. This act of extreme annihilation could not be tolerated and the Latarans were now at war with the Tyrax. Not only were the Tyrax determined to destroy the Lataran people, they used a new terraforming weapon on every world they attacked to make it suitable for their species. Something about the Tyrax required the need for a different type of world than was currently present for their survival. Òmon was determined to find out just what the reason for this was. Later, Òmon was given a new mission by his superior commander. He was ordered to journey to a new star system to protect it from the Tyrax before it was discovered. The reason for this was unusual. It seemed the race in this star system called Sol was another warrior-like species. They fight each other to the point of extinction of the losing race. He must recruit them to fight on Lataran Guardianships and Starfighters if they hope to win the war against the Tyrax. Supreme Master Commander Galis is the leader of the Tyrax Empire located in the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy in the constellation Canis Major 42,000 light-years from the Galactic Center of the Milky Way galaxy. Their dwarf galaxy was in the process of being torn apart by the gravitational forces of the Milky Way galaxy. First Commander Eto is given a special assignment to test a new Doomsday weapon that can be used to terraform whole planets in a matter of days. He is assigned a new mission to use the weapon on the star system called Sol. This is a Novella Prequel story that introduces several main characters and situations that follow in The Guardians Series. Book 1 begins when the Tyrax attack Earth and send a Doomsday weapon that detonates multiple missile warheads over twenty-four sparsely inhabited land areas around the globe. It causes a biological transformation using nanobots that threaten to destroy all life forms on the planet within days. Only the Lataran Guardian Òmon can help save Earth from extinction. Book 2 continues the story when the Tyrax return to finish the job with a a new weapon they call the Destroyer, a large asteroid that will do more damage to the biosphere than the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs sixty-five million years ago. In Book 3, the Tyrax are building a large particle accelerator to create an antimatter weapon to use against Earth. The first opponent to build the weapon will win this Galactic Space War between good and evil alien races.

ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW'S 10 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR A major book about the future of the world, blending intellectual and natural history and field reporting into a powerful account of the mass extinction unfolding before our eyes Over the last half a billion years, there have been five mass extinctions, when the diversity of life on earth suddenly and dramatically contracted. Scientists around the world are currently monitoring the sixth extinction, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. This time around, the cataclysm is us. In The Sixth Extinction, two-time winner of the National Magazine Award and New Yorker writer Elizabeth Kolbert draws on the work of scores of researchers in half a dozen disciplines, accompanying many of them into the field: geologists who study deep ocean cores, botanists who follow the tree line as it climbs up the Andes, marine biologists who dive off the Great Barrier Reef. She introduces us to a dozen species, some already gone, others facing extinction, including the Panamian golden frog, staghorn coral, the great auk, and the Sumatran rhino. Through these stories, Kolbert provides a moving account of the disappearances occurring all around us and traces the evolution of extinction as concept, from its first articulation by Georges Cuvier in revolutionary Paris up through the present day. The sixth extinction is likely to be mankind's most lasting legacy; as Kolbert observes, it compels us to rethink the fundamental question of what it means to be human.

The Guardians - Book 2 continues the story about the human race fighting to survive another extinction event caused by an alien race known as the Tyrax. The Tyrax first tried to wipe the human race off the face of the planet by using a nanobiotechnology weapon to terraform Earth for their own unique DNA makeup. Earth survived with the help of a friendly alien race from Latar who sent a Guardian to watch over Earth five hundred years ago. His name is Òmon and he helps prepare the human race for the eventual invasion of the Tyrax and teaches humans how to fight back. In Book 2 the Tyrax have returned to finish the job with a large warship fleet and a new weapon they call the Destroyer. It is a large asteroid that will do more damage to the biosphere than the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs sixty-five million years ago. To prevent this new extinction event, Òmon returns with more Guardianships to defend Earth from the Tyrax attack. Brandon Cole, Mike Wolinsky, Lizzy Rollins, Paul Ballard, Manco Cusi, Amaru Tupac and all the other human recruits from centuries past join forces with the new 28th Space Strike Force to battle the Tyrax warships in the Asteroid Belt. The space battle is devastating to both sides and thousands of lives are lost in Earth’s desperate struggle for survival. The defenders do all they can to try and stop the asteroid from destroying Earth. Saving the human race, Earth and the solar system from Tyrax colonization is just the first step in the war with the Tyrax. Out of necessity, humans must become the new Guardians of the galaxy if they wish to overcome and defeat this cruel and merciless race of alien beings.

Earth Defense Forces capture several Tyrax prisoners during the Asteroid Belt Space Battle and learn an awful truth about what the Tyrax are planning next. They are developing a brand new weapon to use against Earth; a weapon so powerful it can destroy whole planets with one or two bombs. The Tyrax are building a large particle accelerator to create an antimatter weapon to use against Earth. The first opponent to build the weapon will win this Galactic Space War between good and evil alien races. Back on Earth, the world is trying to recover from the damage the Destroyer Weapon Asteroid caused in Greenland and Northern Europe from meteorite fragments. The Tyrax have attempted to destroy Earth and all humans on the planet twice now. It is time for the Latarans, its Alliance Partners and Earth to go on the offensive with new weapons, recapture lost space territories and push the Tyrax back to their dwarf galaxy. New characters come to life in this book who are part of the newly formed Space Marine Expeditionary Unit training for land assaults on alien planets. A giant struggle ensues to save Òmon’s home world called Delton from Tyrax warships. Soon follows a final Victory or Death space battle to end the Galactic Space War once and for all. The destruction caused by antimatter missiles is almost beyond comprehension and will be used as a deterrent to war for generations to come.

The Boids are back in town ... The follow-up to the award-winning EXTINCT BOIDS, this book features more of the incredible art of cartoonist Ralph Steadman. This time the focus is not on the birds that are gone, but the ones that there's still time to save. These are the 192 Critically Endangered birds on the IUCN Red List, species such as the Giant Ibis, the Kakapo, the Sumatran Ground-cuckoo and the iconic Spoon-billed Sandpiper – these, along with a number of classic Steadman creations such as the Unsociable Lapwing, are the NEARLY-EXTINCT BOIDS. Woids are again by author, conservationist and film-maker Ceri Levy. Together, Ceri and Ralph are THE GONZOVATIONISTS.
