Rick Partlow Synopsis: Seeds of Gaia is a standalone novel by Rick Partlow. The Gaia probes left a condemned Earth millennia ago in a valiant attempt to spread life to a barren universe. Unfortunately, not all of those worlds were uninhabited… The aliens watched their world die to swarms of nanite terraformers, but with their final gasp they launched a terrible, unstoppable weapon to kill those who’d stolen their home. Patrol Captain Sam Avalon is the first human to come across it, a missile the size of an asteroid, destroying anything in its path, destined to impact Earth in four years and leave nothing but ashes. Together with the mysterious government operative Priscilla and the cyborg soldier Telia Proctor, they do their best to unite old enemies in a desperate attempt to save the cradle of humanity from the sins of their fathers…
