The Saturate Saga Episode 1 (Saturate) by Mark Wisdom

Imagine you are given the option to live in a mental paradise… You could live with lost loved ones, climb Mount Everest, be famous, score a World Cup winning goal… anything you desire. Would you do it? What if, in return, you had to completely sacrifice control of your body to an alien inhibitor. Would you still say yes? The Saturate Saga (TSS) follows the quest of five aliens desiring to live peacefully on Earth. The aliens, known as ‘Ereus’, can use the bodies of other species as hosts, and currently inhabit five elderly farmers. Using advanced technology, the Ereus have cloned their hosts to create ten younger “replacements”. These clones currently live in a secret forest society where they are being raised to worship the Ereus, to make them mentally ready to accept Ereus inhabitation. If the Ereus succeed, they plan to indoctrinate the rest of humanity to save their species from eventual death. However, there is a traitor within the Ereus ranks who sees Earth as nothing more than a place to harvest a vital resource known as Saturate through bloodthirsty war with humanity. Unfortunately, the rebellious alien is ready to act... It is left to young journalists, Ben and Lydia, to fight back against the apocalyptic threat to our planet, all whilst going through a difficult breakup.
