First‑contact fallout meets rising rebellion, alien observers watch humanity fracture, and ideological warfare erupts as the planet fights to prove it deserves a place in the stars.    Humanity wanted first contact. It wasn’t ready for what came next.    After the shocking events that ended Federation, Earth is thrown into political chaos. Power vacuums open. Old alliances fracture. And under the watchful eyes of the alien Federation, the world begins to tear itself apart.    In the United States, a newly installed president fights to cement his authority, while a rising insurgent movement calling itself FREE AMERICA vows to overthrow what it sees as an illegitimate regime. Across the globe, the new Secretary General of the United Nations struggles to rebuild international cooperation, desperate to prevent global collapse.    All the while, the Federation remains in orbit… observing. Waiting. Will they intervene to help humanity stabilise? Or will they simply watch as Earth spirals toward self‑destruction?    Bold, provocative, and unafraid to challenge political assumptions, Federation \u0026amp; Earth pushes the trilogy into deeper, more explosive territory. This is speculative science fiction that asks uncomfortable questions—and refuses to offer easy answers.    Federation and Earth is Book 2 of the Federation Trilogy, blending near‑future political intrigue, a rebel uprising, and ideological warfare. Will human beings turn their backs on the AI utopian dream? For fans of political‑sci‑fi and mystery woven into alien diplomacy.

Ancient alien secrets meet Earth’s final rebellion, outsider‑POV galactic lore collides with political upheaval, and humanity faces the ultimate test of whether it can evolve.    The explosive finale where humanity’s future collides with the Federation’s ancient past    Alien professor Yol Rummy Blin Breganin returns to complete his study of Earth, but this time he opens the door to the long‑buried history of the Federation itself, revealing the civil wars, the rise of artificial intelligence, catastrophic mistakes, and political evolutions that shaped the vast galactic empire humanity has only just encountered.    On Earth, the situation is spiralling. The United States—the last independent nation—faces rising authoritarianism, and with California in open revolt, even its remaining freedom hangs by a thread. Meanwhile, in the Federation‑controlled territories, life has become almost too perfect. Comfort, luxury, and stability tempt humanity toward complacency… or toward repeating the same destructive patterns that ruined every utopia before.    As unrest grows on Earth and revelations from millennia of alien history come to light, the question becomes unavoidable: Can humanity break its cycle of chaos—or will it drag the Federation down with it?    Packed with political tension, sweeping galactic lore, and the trilogy’s signature outsider‑observer perspective, Hidden Federation delivers a powerful, thought‑provoking conclusion to Tony Harmsworth’s first‑contact epic.

Alien‑utopia‑meets‑human‑chaos, outsider‑POV mystery, political sci‑fi.    First contact wasn’t the miracle we hoped for. It was the test we failed.    When a galactic empire of 250,000 worlds unexpectedly discovers Earth, their simple request, “Take me to your leader” throws humanity into chaos. With no unified government and no shared vision for the planet’s future, world powers scramble to respond. The aliens’ society is unlike anything humanity has ever imagined: a seemingly utopian civilisation supported by AI automatons and built on a philosophy that challenges every political and economic system on Earth. The visitors offer astonishing technology, peace, and a place among the stars. Yet every gift comes with a test, and every test exposes another of Earth’s failures.    As global tensions rise, one question looms: Are these visitors humanity’s greatest opportunity… or its greatest threat?    Federation is Book 1 of the Federation Trilogy, blending near‑future political intrigue, first‑contact tension, and thought‑provoking social commentary. Will human beings turn their backs on the AI utopian dream? For fans of first‑contact sci‑fi and mystery woven into alien diplomacy.  _________________________________________    Praise for The Federation Trilogy    ★★★★★ A brilliant story of what happens when a space faring Federation discovers Earth for the first time.  ★★★★★ It was a riveting read in the present world context  ★★★★★ An excellent Sci-fi thriller, intelligently and realistically told.  ★★★★★ This is an excellent book by an author with a style and imagination similar to that of Asimov and Clarke.  ★★★★★I am an avid sci fi fan and absolutely love them.  ★★★★★ Remarkable well written books… a truly grounded and yet out-there series.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53366033056017,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53366033187089,"sku":"NGR9781036710606","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781036710606.jpg?v=1775082806"},{"product_id":"trappist-1-book-tony-harmsworth-9781036710651","title":"Trappist-1","description":"Humanity’s first interstellar mission was meant to be a triumph. Instead, it’s a warning.    After surviving a parasite on the Moon and a military siege at Moonbase, Commander Mark Noble leads Earth’s most ambitious expedition yet: a deep-space journey to the Trappist-1 system. Backed by cutting-edge spolding tech and a genetically enhanced crew, their goal is simple—find a new world.    But Haven, the planet that promised shelter, holds something far older. And far more dangerous.    From the moment they land, nothing feels right. The landscape is quiet. Too quiet. The alien life is strangely uniform. And when the truth reveals itself, it’s not just the mission at risk—it’s something far more unsettling.    They came to explore. They may have opened a door they can’t close.    Trappist-1 is the next leap in the Mark Noble: Edge of the Void series. Classic, hard sci-fi laced with existential mystery and a twist ending readers call “spellbinding” and “impossible to predict.” For fans of Clarke, Heinlein, and The Thing.    _____________________________________________    Praise for the Mark Noble: Edge of the Void series:    ★★★★★ “Reads like old masters—classic hard sci-fi with emotional depth.”    ★★★★★ “Solid science, real people, strange situations, clever solutions, and unexpected twists.

Millions wake up in the wrong bodies.    Astrophysicist Geoff Arnold opens his eyes to a face he doesn’t recognize and a world that no longer makes sense. Overnight, a blast from Betelgeuse has scrambled humanity: minds in strangers, minds in animals, families scattered, the rules of identity and law rewritten on the fly.    Geoff wants one thing: to find his wife and children, yet every street, hospital, and government office is another lesson in what it means to be a person when nothing familiar remains.    Scientists race to explain the upheaval. Politicians improvise policies. Black-market clinics whisper about a “solution” that only copies who you are. As protests flare and heartbreaking choices multiply, Geoff must navigate a planet learning—sometimes tenderly, sometimes brutally—how to live with new bodies, new rights, and the oldest moral questions suddenly made urgent.    If he fails, he could lose his family forever. If the world fails, compassion might be the first casualty.    Supernova, book one of the Mindslip Universe, delivers humane, thought-provoking science fiction with page-turning momentum and unforgettable moments of empathy. Perfect for readers who love unique, original concepts that linger long after the last page.
