Against the Rising Force(2014)

Nick Webb

40 years ago, the Corsican Empire invaded Earth, just in time for Emperor Justinian's Golden Jubilee.

Now, in 2675, the Resistance rises again, but the enemy strikes first, taking fighter pilot Lieutenant Jacob Mercer by surprise. As he flies out to meet the enemy, he learns of the existence of a secret that could change the course of the war.

A secret that might mean a quick end to the fighting, or a quick death for them all.


Against the Rising Force is a short story of approx. 5200 words, or about 25 pages, and is the first in the short story trilogy Prelude to Resistance, which paves the way for The Pax Humana Saga, a ten part series of novels set for release in March 2014.
