A Quick Precis of the first book in the Arcadia Children Series,
Arcadia's Children: Samantha's Revenge revolves around two enemy groups:-
1) The Great Ones – An alien species that lives in the Fyfield Valley
2) The Minton Mining company which is mining Arden, Arcadia's main moon
Samantha is the deputy security director of the Minton Mining company. (She is also a deranged humanoid.) She is a truncated pyramid in shape two metres tall with a view panel for a face.)
After sending her mercenary troops into the Fyfield Valley, they are totally routed by the Great One's animal army.
The only survivor of the ill-fated invasion is Claire Hyndman and she is only clinging onto life because Samantha has put her in a suspension unit. Before going in with the mercenary forces, Claire Hyndman was an archaeologist. She had worked with a team of people trying to discover what had happened to the survivors of a wrecked First Empire starship.
When Samantha captures Zia Warmers (a terrorist), she discovers that Warmers is a shape changer. When Claire Hyndman dies, Samantha brainwashes Zia Warmers and forces her to become Claire Hyndman. She also puts implants into Claire's skull to make sure she obeys orders.
She then pairs the new Claire Hyndman up with Mick Tarmy (also brainwashed and implanted) and sends them to Arcadia to continue her war against the great ones.
