Some People Won't Be Driving Home For Christmas
Spare a thought for those who are serving humanity somewhere far, far away...
And pray you never end up in their shoes.
*********
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!
What will YOU be reading this Christmas?
