The Horde: Imminent Vector

The Horde: Imminent Vector (THIV) is an upcoming novel currently being written by G.E. Moten.
It is the first of six currently planned novels of The Horde, the revamped and reimagined story and universe of Moten's Phase Wars Series which had been introduced with the debut and publication of Phase Wars: The First Contact (2016).

Imminent Vector is considered to be a prequel of Moten's first novel Phase Wars: The First Contact, with little to none of the original Phase Wars characters having any point of view chapters or even as far as making no appearances. Instead Moten has decided to write the novel using a whole new cast of dynamic characters using the Point of View (POV) style of telling the events of the story. The author has also decided to dedicate POV story timelines to Tamarid characters to join in as part of the story's main cast of characters.

Currently there is no publication date for THIV.

Plot
The novel takes place in 2747 two years after the devastating Unification Wars concluded with nearly over one sixth of the human population gone and many more displaced. The interstellar nation known as the United Nations of Earth Federation has been brought to its needs and is struggling to rebuild itself whilst still expanding humanity's dominion across the star simultaneously.

The story also begins in the far reaches of not only human-controlled space, but on the very edge of the Milky Way Galaxy itself. Astronomer, Stellar Cartographer, and Nurse, Charlotte "Charlie" Raye who, in an effort to distance herself woes of loss and political chaos of interstellar reconstruction, is serving an assignment on a small isolated relay/observation station to monitor any and all activity outside of the Milky Way Galaxy. After many weeks of boredom, peace of mind, and the same readings of nothing she makes a discovery that will forever change the future of humanity, incoming on an imminent vector from the blackened void outside humanity's home galaxy.

Meanwhile, Jericho Milan, a nineteen-year-old salvager and orphaned by the Unification War finds himself living, working, and traveling the stars onboard an old Conklin-class Merchant vessel called the ''Blue Star. ''Being that the war had taken everything from him he found solace and a purpose being just an extra set of hands, basically working almost for free so long as he is able to have a bed, a place to bathe, a place to live, and most of all a purpose as he begins to settle and come to peace for all his losses. All was going well going from job to job, traveling the galaxy with his crew on the Blue Star, when a series of unexplained and inescapable events began to transpire around him, thus inadvertently giving him a new purpose and new perspective in his young life.

After narrowly being acquitted for actions he took during his time and service during the Unification Wars, Gerson Grant is offered a chance of redemption to not only clear his conscience, but to share his knowledge and experience of elements and forces that could possibly be the greatest threat humanity has ever known. He is both relieved and frightened that there are others besides himself that knew of the real dangers that lie within the blackened void on its way on an imminent vector from outside of the Milky Way Galaxy. Yet, he questions himself if humanity is ready to combat its internal struggles to unite and face such extra-galactic threats.
