Vanguard of Man

By JD Lovil

What if Humanity was threatened with extinction if they stayed on Earth?
In one universe, disaster has struck the Earth.
An Earth that may be ours has a storm of calamities. Financial collapse, encroaching ice age, multiple volcanic eruptions. To top it all off, someone nukes a few cities, and the Pandemics that we have long dreaded wipes out major cities. In the midst of diaster and martial law, one group looks to perserve the future !
The world infrastructure has collapsed, and a beleaguered group of scientists seek a safe place from which to save the human species. Earth is no longer a safe basket to keep all of humanity in. We must reach the stars. Build great generational Colony Ships. Create a more than human crew to man the ships.
In Ark City, they create cryopods to ship the millions of people left to new colonies around other stars. To crew the ships that will take them there, they create the Vanguard. Immortal, almost indestructible with intelligence beyond measuring, they are the perfect crew, if they can last the centuries of the voyage without losing their human essence in the process.

JD Lovil

JD Lovil was born in the small Town (population 795) of Lockesburg in the southwestern Arkansas, in the year of 1957. That was the year of the first canine cosmonaut. Enjoying early life as Farm Hand, Assistant or Slave, he learned just enough about hand labor, mechanics, metalwork, plumbing and electrical work to be dangerous, and far more than he ever wanted to know about many other unpleasant tasks. Enduring the slings and arrows that is childhood, he eventually entered into University life, where he dabbled in biology, Physics and Computer Science before settling on a major in Chemistry. Surviving many fine adventures over the years, and after having been rumored to be an agent for the Arcturian anti-movement movement, the Author has settled into the Phoenix Metro Area in Arizona, where he hopes to avoid life's complications.
