GUARDIANS OF HUMANITY: The Director’s Cut (2026 Edition)

Earth was supposed to be the sanctuary. It was supposed to be the cure. It isn’t.

Elevator Pitch

A war-hardened commander, fueled by revenge, leads a desperate mission to a distant planet to find a life-saving cure, only to discover that the “sanctuary” he seeks is the most dangerous place in the universe.

The Story

The Sirian homeworld isn’t just dying; it is rotting. A virus is liquefying its people from the inside out, turning the greatest civilization in the galaxy into a hospice ward.

Commander Cardin isn’t leading a noble “Exodus.” He is running from a morgue, looking for anywhere that doesn’t smell like death. The navigation computer points to a blue marble called Earth.

But when the Guardians arrive, they don’t find a cure. They find a trap.

Ancient ruins hint at a forgotten history, and a rival faction known as the Jotunns is already hunting in the shadows. Cardin must battle his own addiction, a fracturing crew, and a planet that seems to want them dead.

This is not a mission of peace. It is a war for survival.

Why Read the “Director’s Cut”?

For the 2026 re-release, I have gone back to the original manuscript to restore the gritty, unfiltered vision of the Guardians universe. This is the definitive edition—sharper, darker, and more intense than ever before.
