GREYLORN By KEITH LAUMER
PROLOGUE
CHAPTER 1
CHAPTER 2
EPILOGUE
Amid a crumbling Earth, a shadowy organism known as the Red Tide spreads, swallowing coastlines and turning the map pink. In a tense council chamber, the World Secretary and naval leaders grapple with impossible losses, each hour costing another square mile. Their desperation ignites a risky proposal from Lieutenant Commander Greylorn, who offers a glimmer of hope amidst the gloom.
Greylorn outlines a daring mission to locate the long‑lost Omega Colony, the last vestige of humanity’s great colonisation push. Armed with a breakthrough drive that can cross the void in just over five years, a small scouting vessel could finally reach the distant star cluster before the tide swallows all hope. The plan hinges on courage, precise navigation, and a chance that the forgotten world still harbors the resources needed to turn the tide.
