An unknown entity seeds a pocket galaxy with colony fleets from multiple alien races. Without their consent.

Not sure what to think about this. I released the same idea 9 months ago. I guess it's a case of "great minds think alike??"
Not that hard to check before doing something that's been done already. Sigh

The great Tom Edwards' design roughs for Book 3 of Sandbox (on the right) versus the final magnificent result. Man is a genius. And captures the tone of the book perfectly.
