Storyline Book 1: Crisis of Faith (1933-1935)
1 Winter TN 1933 - 1 Autumn TN 1935
"In those days¸ the planet was readying for war. Alliances were made and revolutions broke out¸ but no one saw the larger events¸ already in motion. We were so concerned with our own petty¸ local problems that we had closed our eyes to the emmensity of what faced us... or to the wonders occuring right under our noses.
"There are times I wish we could be so innocent again.
- Nicosas Renault
Storyline Book One: Crisis of Faith traces the events on Terra Nova from TN 1933 through TN 1935. The planet lurches toward a global conflict and the words of Terranovans themselves betray their machinations and true intentions. Dramatic events that were only hinted at in previous books start to take form with world-shaking consequences. Letters¸ private conversations¸ journal entries and official reports expose the true face of history¸ from the deadly secrets of master spies to the fears of those caught up in a conflict beyond their control.
Terra Nova grows older and more mature¸ but at the cost of the precious innocence and peace won at the end of the War of the Alliance.
