Prepare to plunge into a thrilling saga of alien domination and human defiance with The Conquest of Earth by Manly Banister!

The mysterious Trisz—elusive as a whisper on the wind, their forms unseen by human eyes—have ruled Earth for generations, their invisible grip tightening with every passing day. These energy-devouring invaders have turned our once-thriving planet into a barren wasteland, its waters dwindling and deserts stretching to the horizon, all while the subjugated People toil under their watchful, unseen gaze.

Yet hope flickers in the shadows with the Scarlet Order of Men, a clandestine brotherhood tolerated by the Trisz. Only the most gifted children are whisked away to the Institute, where grueling training forges them into masters of science and psychic power—capable of miracles that defy imagination. Those who falter become Blue Brethren, loyal guides serving the People, while the elite few rise as Scarlet Sages, sworn to a secret war. The shocking truth? The Trisz aren't benevolent rulers—they're cosmic parasites, draining Earth's life force and obliterating the civilization that came before!

Enter Kor Danay, a prodigy who has conquered a 19-year odyssey of trials, mastering the legendary "Fire Out of Heaven"—a feat no one has survived before. On the brink of becoming a Scarlet Sage, he faces initiation tests where failure means death. But as he prepares to take the Oath of Manhood, a chilling twist awaits: he must vow never to flaunt his powers, never to strike at the Trisz or the People—unless his life hangs by a thread. What kind of weapon is he if he can't fight? Torn between pride and humility, Kor stands at the edge of a desperate struggle, with only the faint promise of a noble sacrifice to save what's left of humanity from a doomed fate.

This gripping tale of superscience, psychic battles, and a hero's soul-searching is a must-read for fans of pulse-pounding sci-fi adventure!
