The Effect - Growing Up

On Friday the 13th in April 2029, the asteroid named 99942 Apophis, also known as 2004 MN4 came so close to the earth that it actually was closer to the surface of our planet than some satellites. The incredible disaster that followed is documented in the first book of this series. The initial survival of the members of this colony was documented in the second. This is the third part of our story - told after the 'colony' was formed and the world has begun to mature under this new reality. People in this new world are forming families, communities, alliances, and even nations. The world is evolving into a place where the human again has risen to supremacy, but is it the same world that they ruled before? Perhaps the better question is - will we really survive the challenges of this new world and will there be more stories to tell?
