Description
The sirens have been shaping the will of mankind for centuries; however, their identity has been hidden even from them. Now their true origin has been revealed to them and they have been invited to return to their home world of Siren. 486 of them are about to embark on a fantastic journey 180 million miles from Earth. But what will the sirens lose when they leave the only world they have known. Their peaceful sister planet has lived in fear of Earth for centuries due to the violent nature of mankind. But now there is no reason to worry. Now The Great Shield that has obscured Siren for over 5,000 years is no longer necessary. The superior technology developed by their benefactors on Preculis has ensured their protection from invasion by any species. But their own species, the Earth sirens, will soon be living among them. They will come in peace and be adorned with every measure of celebrity; however, they may bring something from their former home that will be at odds with the serenity of Siren. As Milton tells us, it is better to rule in hell than to serve in heaven. The sirens from Earth will learn a lesson that is familiar to all of us at one time or another. Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it.
