OverviewIt was the 4th of July in 2132 when the colony ship, SS Artemis, left our solar system to begin a journey across the galaxy to the Veritas Moon, a sphere thought capable of supporting human life. The 'first wave' colonists were seeking to create a utopian society free from the many problems of old Earth, but no one could have predicted the threat which awaited them. Decades later, a small group of settlers flee from the ravages of civil war and the repressive arm of a totalitarian state. This tiny community must attempt to put old grievances behind them as they struggle to survive the harsh realities of life on an isolated outpost, right on the edge of the fledgling human colony. When their settlement comes under attack by a resurgent indigenous enemy it appears the colonists' only hope rests in the actions of a mysterious stranger whose own motives remain unclear. This is a truly riveting Sci-Fi adventure from the author of the much acclaimed 'alternative history' thrillers THE WAR OF ZERO SUM and AMERICAN NEMESIS.

Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationMark Lynch, who has lived in Northern Ireland all his life, studied History & Politics at Queen's University Belfast and maintains a keen interest in both of these subjects. He currently works as an office administrator in Belfast city centre and enjoys reading both fiction and non-fiction, but is particularly keen on the science fiction genre and its sub genres, such as alternative history and space colonisation. He has been interested in Irish history for many years and has long held an ambition to write a novel about the situation in Northern Ireland, something different from the standard stories set during the Troubles, hence 'The War of Zero-Sum.' He has since published 'American Nemesis', set in the near future where America is on the brink of a new Civil War, and is currently working on 'Insurgent Town, ' the follow-up to 'The War of Zero Sum.'
