Is Fiction Becoming Fact?
"The Cryptoterrestrial Hypothesis (CTH) put forward by the scientists at Harvard and Montana universities, posits that some Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) may be attributed to advanced, hidden civilizations that have evolved on Earth, rather than extraterrestrial origins. This hypothesis suggests that these cryptoterrestrial beings have developed advanced technologies and have remained undetected by human societies, possibly residing in subterranean or remote locations, even passing as humans and walking among us."

Perpetual Wars - Book 9: Planning For Victory (E-Book, Audiobook, and Paperback)
Devalapan had been holding off a group of enemy humans in the storage room so that Malapan could make his way onto the Korantian Recovery ship. Malapan had told him that they would keep the hatch open for him for a few minutes, no more. Dev had already used up two of these minutes. He only had three more humans to dispatch and then he could leave unmolested. He believed that he had more than enough time. It was clear that this last group of soldiers that had come into the storage room had all run out of bullets. At first there had been seven of them that had appeared. None of them was shooting at him at all, rather, they were all brandishing swords.
From the way they carried their swords, Dev could tell in an instant that compared to him, they were all rank amateurs. The first two came at him one at a time. He cut them down with tremendous ease. Then they got smarter. The next attack came in a pair. It was only slightly more challenging. He stabbed one man in the throat and decapitated the next one with one quick sweep. He had begun the fight in the middle of the room, but all the while he was backing towards the escape tunnel behind him. Now there were only three adversaries left. They were taking up positions to surround him and get at him. He had the tunnel behind him. He need only finish them off and run down it to escape.
He took out the first of the trio with a quick thrust to the abdomen. It eviscerated the man, and he died almost instantly. The second man thrusted at Dev. He parried the stab and then he delivered a punch to the man’s face. As the man was going down, Dev stabbed him through the heart. Now he could concentrate on the third and last man. The third man was Dev’s size. He was actually rather old as Dev looked at him. Dev felt a tinge of guilt. This man was too old to be fighting in this battle.
Dev began to position himself to attack with his sword and then he paused, remarking, “Old man, I have a ship to board. Why don’t you just lower your sword and back away? Then you will live!”
John Maynard responded, “I never got to use my sword at all in the United States Marines. I figure that today is a good day to make up for all the lost time!”
Dev smirked, “At your age, that is a considerable loss of time! Be warned, if your training is no better than that of your companions, you are throwing your life away.”
With that, Dev launched an attack on John Maynard. He had expected to dispatch him right away. However, Maynard was much stronger than his colleagues were. He was able to receive and parry the power behind Dev’s blows without being thrown off guard. Dev realized that he was going to have to employ more skill and less strength to defeat this man. He undertook a more sophisticated series of thrusts and strikes so as to put John Maynard off balance. While John was trying to keep his feet, Dev stabbed him on the right side of his body and punctured his right lung. John Maynard went down instantly.
Dev then raised his sword to administer a coup de gras to Maynard when he heard a defiant voice to his front call out, “Not so fast!”

Perpetual Wars - Book 10: Martial Messiah
Michael queried, “I would like to see the Nazcan way of combat. Perhaps you could demonstrate to me just before today’s training concludes?”
Onario Zapata eyed Michael and then commented disdainfully, “Escodar Tosito has commanded that we do not cause any injuries!”
Michael replied, “I heard him. I will see to it that you don’t get hurt.”
Onario looked at Michael very intently and with some minor malice, "You will need to look to yourself earthman!”
The training session time was nearing its end and Michael signalled to Escodar that he wanted to go last with his partner. They bowed to each other which Escodar had taught the group was the appropriate fashion to open a partnering session.
After bowing, Michael turned from Onario and spoke, “Onario Zapata has graciously offered to show me what Nazcan combat is like. He has told me that this method has always prevailed. I would like to test this method against those in which I have been trained.”
Michael detected a sudden movement out of the corner of his eye.
Onario sprung towards him crowing, “Sudden attack and surprise are part of this method!”
Michael had learned from his first unarmed Atlantean combat session with Athena. She had jumped on him unexpectedly and gotten him in a choke hold. From that moment on, he had learned to never fully take his attention away from an opponent. Consequently, he was able to deflect Onario's violent attack. Onario had leapt at him and was still in the air with his right fist cocked to land a blow on Michael’s head. Michael knew he could easily avoid the blow, but not the contact from Onario’s flying body. Instead of trying to step away which was the instinctive move, Michael moved into Onario’s attack and got under him. Onario’s attempted punch overshot but his knees crashed into Michael’s body. The two men went down in a heap.
To Onario’s credit, he applied the falling training he had just undertaken, and he landed and rolled to his feet. He was proud of himself for this, and he sprung up ready to attack again. Only instead of finding a prostrate Michael which he could attack and subdue, he was confronted with a standing and prepared opponent who was facing him and looking very comfortable.
The two men began to circle one another. Onario was goading Michael to attack him. Then Onario charged at Michael who deftly reached out and got hold of his arm and threw him over and onto the mat. Onario was able to roll out of the throw and get to his feet, but he was thoroughly shaken by its force. The two men continued to circle one another. As they did, Onario would try to reach in at Michael who used his hands to quickly deflect his attacks. Onario knew better than to try and rush Michael again.
Getting frustrated by the ongoing circling, Onario complained, “We will be circling all day Gunnery Master Smith. This will throw us off schedule. Shall we call it a draw?”
Michael goaded, “I think not. Humanity can’t circle indefinitely and hope for a draw against the Korantians, so neither will we.”
Suddenly, Michael attacked Onario with a flurry of powerful blows which set Onario back on his heels as he tried to deflect them. As Onario parried Michael’s blows which were landing very fast, but not very hard, he found himself off balance. Then in an instant Michael landed a smart, but controlled kick onto Onario’s testicles. Onario went to the ground like a stone grasping at his bruised private parts which ended the contest. All the male Gunners instinctively reached for their own groins in response. This brought giggles from all the female Gunnery trainees.
Michael got down beside Onario who was writhing in pain, “I am so sorry. I was intending to strike you a little higher! Please let me help you up when you are ready.”
Escodar Tosito moved in beside the two men, and he said loudly for all to hear, “Did Ares the God of War teach you that move?”
Michael kind of grinned at Escodar, “No. It was Founder Athena. She always said that to disable an opponent completely you needed to attack their vitals. She even demonstrated it to me once.”
This remark brought gales of laughter from the entire group, including the prostrate Onario, who alternated giggling with croaks of pain.

Book 11: Perpetual Wars: The Goddess and the Gunner
Maratin looked at his monitor gauges which indicated that a large mass was approaching the L3 Lagrange point and decelerating from light speed. The readings were like nothing that he had ever seen before. In response, he sent an urgent message to Captain Walatin for permission to sound a ship wide alarm on the Mothership Danafis, and to call in her patrolling Korantian Recovery ships to defend the Lagrange point.
Walatin responded to Maratin with a visual communication. His face appeared on the screen with a Korantian expression of scepticism and annoyance, “Maratin, what have you got on your monitors?”
Maratin responded, “I have a significant incoming mass at the Lagrange point!”
“Is that all you have? A significant incoming mass? Can’t you characterize it better than that?”
Maratin replied, “Captain Walatin, these readings are hard to interpret! The gauges indicate a massive displacement wave coming in our direction!”
“Massive, you say? What kind of an object do you think is causing this displacement wave?”
Maratin gulped, “I would say we are dealing with something larger than a Mothership for sure!”
“Larger than a Mothership? The Atlanteans don’t have anything larger than a Mothership! Are you sure of these readings? I want you to double check to make sure this isn’t a false alarm. I don’t want to put the Danafis on high alert and call in our Recovery ships without being sure there is a real emergency! Be quick and thorough about this!”
Maratin responded, “Yes, Captain Walatin! I will do a calibration check! It will take some time though! May I suggest that we go to a stand-by alert to be at the ready?”
Walatin responded, “You are over exceeding your authority. I’m sure we can handle whatever the Atlanteans are bringing through, if anything! Make your checks and get back to me!”
“Yes, Captain!”
Maratin got to work checking the calibration of his gauges. Walatin had been correct, one of the gauges was not reading accurately. After the recalibration, the gauges were reporting an even larger displacement wave than they had initially!
Maratin opened up a channel with Walatin, “We have a massive displacement wave!”
“What do you think we are dealing with?”
“My best guess is that we have a Supermothership coming through!”
“That’s impossible! It would have to be ours! But, based on my last briefing from Sayatin, our Supermotherships are in light speed orbit to keep them safe from attack! What else could it be?”
“It could be a Fleet of Atlantean Motherships. That could create a set of displacement waves that would be similar in size to that of a Supermothership!”
“Maratin, are you 100% certain your gauges our operating properly?”
“Yes, Captain. I am also reading them properly, in answer to your next question!”
“Maratin, insubordination is not called for! Is it possible that this is just an asteroid anomaly?”
“Captain, natural phenomena would not decelerate and create this kind of wave! We are about to receive one very large spaceship or a whole Fleet of Motherships coming out of light speed!”
“Very well. Sound the alarm and alert our Recovery ships!”
No sooner had Maratin received his orders from Walatin, when out of the L3 Lagrange point in direct line with the Danafis, an Atlantean Mothership emerged into normal space. Walatin was taking readings to identify the vessel when suddenly two more Atlantean Motherships appeared. Before Maratin could even begin to issue an assessment, the three enemy Motherships had launched eight Atlantean Recovery ships which took up flanking positions. The Danafis was now in the crosshairs of eleven Atlantean-Alliance spaceships!
Maratin gulped and thought to himself, “The creator of the Universe is not happy with the Korantian species this day!”
