The Atlanteans of Proxima b: Introduction & Contents

But they were beaten to it. On Proxima b they found a population of humans speaking a strange language with strange customs and stranger gods. A polis who call themselves Atlanteans and claim to have sailed from Earth, or Gaia as they name her, thousands of years before. Yet, for all their claims not everything is as it seems…
A promising first contact turns sour as clashes of language, faith, and history rupture any hope of friendly relations. The new arrivals are forced to the western side of the continent where, for a year, a stalemate develops but soon thoughts turn to the ancient humans on the eastern edge and one man knows he must recontact them if they have any hope of survival…
