Aftershocks: Colonization, Three is the gripping third installment in the Aftershocks series by acclaimed science fiction author Harry Turtledove. The novel continues the story of the aftermath of a devastating alien invasion of Earth, and explores the themes of colonization, resistance, and the human spirit in the face of adversity.
The story is set in the year 2025, five years after the alien invasion that nearly destroyed Earth. The aliens, known as the Lizards, have been defeated, but they have left behind a legacy of destruction and chaos. The human survivors are now struggling to rebuild their lives and societies, but they are facing new challenges.
One of the biggest challenges is the presence of the Lizards' colonists. The colonists are a group of humans who were abducted by the Lizards and taken to their home planet. They have been indoctrinated with Lizard ideology, and they are now working to establish a new Lizard colony on Earth.
The human survivors are determined to resist the Lizard colonists, but they are facing an uphill battle. The colonists are well-armed and well-organized, and they have the support of the Lizard mothership that is still orbiting Earth.
In Aftershocks: Colonization, Three, Turtledove follows the story of a group of human survivors who are fighting to resist the Lizard colonists. The group is led by a former soldier named John Cargill, and they are determined to do whatever it takes to protect their home planet.
