Sara King’s tale of Comander Zero’s Return ( ebook from Parasite Publications which I bought) has him facing Earth’s apocalypse.  The Congress that governs the galaxy has only a few rules. Genetic modifications of intelligent species is not allowed. Earth being a minor, and unwilling member decides to challenge that rule with secret labs that cull the bad results.  When discovered , Congress acts by destroying all power generators, military installations, and anything else that can contribute to civilization. Then they drop Kreenit monsters to kill most of the pupulation. Finally they shut the planet from civilization for seven centuries. Of course they return all troops drafted in to the Congressional Army. Zero finds himself trying to protect escaped laboratory specimens including one brainwashed to think she is a fearsome Jreet with powerful telekenic abilities, a women who can created food out of sand, and a telepath that can kill with a thought and hates killing. The group also hates wearing clothes. Alas this is only the first half of the tale. Absorbing and impossible-to-put down. Review printed by the Philadelphia Weekly Press.
