Fight or Die!
What could unite a Roman Legion and the Caledonian army they
are fighting?
Or a US Cavalry Company with the Native American tribes
arrayed against them?
How about a highly trained and motivated Special Forces unit
and the terrorists they have been sent to wipe out at all costs?
Yes…
What could such a diverse and mutually aggressive group
possibly have in common?
Arden – and the Horde, that’s what!
Arden, home to a culture that has existed for thousands of
years and which spans dozens of worlds. Regardless, their sophistication cannot
prevent calamity at the hands of an unstoppable nemesis. Known only as the
Horde, this enemy has proven relentless. They have not only stripped the outer
colonies bare, but now threaten the existence of the entire Ardenese way of
life.
Realizing there is nothing they can do to prevent the
inevitable march toward extinction, the Ardenese governing body comes to a
drastic decision. They gather together at their capital city, Rhomane, and
place their remaining genetic heritage in a vast underground ark, in the care
of an advanced AI construct called the Architect. Its
mission? To use Rhomane’s dwindling reserves and safeguard their race by reaching out across time and space toward
those who might be in a position to help reseed a
devastated world at some time in
the future.
That’s
how soldiers from varying eras and vastly different backgrounds find themselves
together. Snatched away from Earth at the moment of their passing they are
transported to the far side of the galaxy. Thinking they have been granted a
reprieve, their relief turns to horror when they discover they face a simple
but stark ultimatum:
Put
aside your former animosities and preconceptions in order to survive.
Yes…Fight or die!
How does this group of mismatched and antagonistic misfits
fare?
Do they survive?
Find out for yourselves, in The IX.
… And remember…
Sometimes, death is only the beginning of the adventure!
