GUARDIAN OF AQUARIUS (978-981-94-7891-0)
While stargazing, Grandpa Maniyan and his grandson Samar receive an urgent distress signal from Aquarius, a peaceful blue planet under attack by the ruthless Voltar Raiders.
Determined to help, they visit a secret Earth space base, where Maniyan takes command of a small fleet. His mission is clear: save Aquarius through intelligence and strategy, not violence.
Arriving at the beautiful planet, they confront powerful Voltar warships and swarms of deadly drones. Rather than fighting directly, Maniyan cleverly lures the drones into an ion storm, disabling them without bloodshed.
When the enemy threatens Aquarian cities, the Earth fleet uses giant mirrors to reflect sunlight, confusing the attackers' sensors. Dividing their spacecraft into three groups, they outmanoeuvre the Voltar forces.
Furious, the Voltar commander prepares a devastating planet-killing cannon. Maniyan and Samar quickly devise a plan, using nearby asteroids to block the weapon. The cannon explodes, disabling the enemy flagship.
Instead of seeking revenge, Maniyan opens communication and persuades the defeated Raiders to withdraw peacefully.
The grateful Aquarians celebrate their freedom, exchange advanced crystal technology with Earth and sign a historic friendship treaty.
Returning home, Maniyan and Samar quietly reunite with their family. That night, a distant blue star twinkles, reminding them of their new friends across the universe.
True strength is wisdom, not weapons.
