Redemption Trail

by Marcus Malone

It has been 100 years since World War V, the bloodiest conflict in human history, and 100 years since war, war machines, and armies have been outlawed across the entire Human Realm. It is a sweet time of peace when humankind's problems are limited to its dwindling criminal population.

Salvage enrapture (Krey) and con artist/genius (Cassie) are exiled from the solar system for minor crimes. After a reckless exodus through the time barrier in a crumbling war relic, they look for nothing more than supplies, repairs, and to go their separate ways. Instead, they find the frontier planets devastated by an alien invasion with an agenda to exterminate the human race.

They must now survive in their rotting wreck infested with carnivorous robotic insects and alien warriors as they dog the advancing armada of alien warships -- searching for an advantage against them.
