Time After Time, and it takes place about ten years afterwards.
When Belterra was populated long ago by a select group of humans sent
there by the ancients in the hope of saving the human race,
the indigenous race of bat-like creatures called the Batrach
were forced into the ocean and into underground sea caves
by a giant force field.
But now, the force field has now weakened.
The Batrach have emerged from their watery prison
and they want their planet back.
And they won't take NO for an answer.
In contrast to Belterra, where much of the book focuses on the love between Braedon, Lord of War, and Neeka, a pacifist. Belterra is an action adventure story about the rights to the planet of Belterra.
Who gets to live there? The first inhabitants, the indigenous race?
Or the invaders from another planet who came, pushed them into the ocean, and took over?
With people yelling these days "Go back to wherever you came from," does it bring up the question of who has the right to be here? And wouldn't be the first inhabitants and not the invaders?
And if that is true, then where is the respect for our indigenous people?
