Description

Our Ancestors Are Back.

Abandoning Earth after extracting their precious energy, Aliens left and forgot about the human population they changed. Those changes linked three species across time and the Intergalactic Space that separated their worlds.

Ravaged by sickness and an energy shortage that threatens their extinction, Aliens return on a clapped out old rust bucket seeking help.

Earth, devastated by climate change, wars and population explosion, is not what they expected, radically altering how they make First-Contact with humans.

Together, aliens and humans embark on a Project that may give the three species hope for survival.

Battling against discovery by evil forces, technology problems, mistrust and war, a Scottish Oil Rigger, an Irish Farm Girl and a Marine from East London find themselves embroiled in events they could never have imagined.

Led by an Alien Overlord — they have an unenviable task as the Managers of Project Anan.

Engulfed by tragedy, drama and romance, events take them and their crew to New Zealand, France, Australia, Switzerland and Space on a journey to a New World in a distant secret galaxy.

Don’t miss this thrilling Space Opera from the new Author Lionel Lazarus.

"5.0 out of 5 stars. Some books arrive that deserve our attention. This book is one, highly recommended.

Irish author Lionel Lazarus may not have an academic background but his experiences picking up writing skills while working as a Toolpusher on the North Sea Oil and Gas Rigs as well as living in Aberdeen, Belfast, Dublin, Malta and Singapore, and working in the North Sea and the Middle and Far East subjected him to the environmental and climate changes that infuse this well scribed tale. It offers solid proof that talent as a writer need not necessarily be coached by degrees from universities when the writer has the skills and innate talent for story telling that Lionel possesses.

5.0 out of 5 stars. As good as the old Perry Roddan series

5.0 out of 5 stars. Globe-trotting sci-fi.

A cracking sci-fi adventure. The author started his writing while working on oil rigs around the world, and it shows in the technical details and globe-trotting adventures in his first book. Looking forward to more from Lazarus - his characters will rise again!

Lazarus has written a great first novel. I was happily engaged the entire book. And immediately read the sequel The Energy Wars. Project Anan starts out with two beings landing on earth. The beings are humanoid but easy to tell apart from humans. They slowly recruit a team of humans in secret. Their mission to refurbish an old spacecraft and move a team of humans to another planet. I could not put the book down.

"Sure didn't see that coming!" 
Sci-Fi, Drama, Tragedy, Romance, AND is a novel full of freshly conceived, sometimes shocking plot twists. Project Anan earns the category of Space Opera hands down with triumph, tragedy, and drama galore. Major story pivot points are refreshingly original with deepfelt emotions always the primary determinants. There's a lot to like about the plot complexity. More people to keep track of than I normally feel comfortable with, yet always able to keep track of each character's storylines. Younger readers would be comfortable with a vocabulary level highly accessible without a dictionary by your side.

Some great characters and a good story line made this an enjoyable read.

I would recommend this if you want an easy read without straining the brain to much.
