LEAVE EARTH OR DIE The electromagnetic field around the Earth is failing, and all that live on her will die. Deep Space Vessel Triznov, the first human interstellar colony ship, is nearly ready to launch in search of a new habitable planet to colonize among the stars... The United Nations has refused to arm the colony ships with powerful military weapons for their defense, or even provide military escort ships, under the guise of refusing to export war to the universe... International bankers, determined to take political and economic control of the new colony, are behind the U.N.'s 'Unarmed Colonist' decision. Unknown to the members of the U.N., the bankers are secretly building their own fleet of heavily-armed Space Cruisers to follow the colonists to their new planet, Oasis, to enforce their continued lust for power... Radical religious zealots are intent on preventing "unbelievers" from exporting their wickedness to the heavens, even if they have to destroy the colony ships and the lives of all mankind... A greedy Russian Colonel has possession of a nuclear warhead to sell to the right buyer... In the midst of immense international tension, a worldwide riot threatens to break out among the terrified billions, who finally understand that they will be left behind to die... Three unlikely teenagers leading a tiny group of political dissidents are all that stand in the way of the power brokers and those determined to prevent the colonization of the universe. Along the way, they discover they need the help of someone greater than themselves.
