On sale Oct 26, 2010 | 368 Pages | 9781101444603

Earth, 2516 A.D. The Unified Authority spread human colonies across the Milky Way, keeping strict order with a powerful military made up almost entirely of clones. But when an alien invasion proved too much even for the clones, they alone were blamed for the defeat.

Clone soldier Lt. Wayson Harris was born and bred to fight for the U.A. He also possesses a unique independence and love of battle. But after the debacle of the Avatari invasion, he and his brethren have been exiled to the far reaches of the galaxy where the U.A. intended to use them as targets for live-fire training exercises.
 
Unfortunately for the Unified Authority, the clones they created and trained to fight have founded their own empire. Now, Harris will unleash his rage against the might of the U.A. fleet, leading an army with everything to fight for--and one thing to die for: Revenge.
Steven L. Kent turned a lifelong joystick addiction into a fifteen-year gig writing for outlets like Microsoft News, Boys’ Life, USA Today, the Chicago Tribune, and The Japan Times. In addition to his two-volume account The Ultimate History of Video Games, Kent wrote The Making of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and The Making of Doom 3. Also a novelist, he authored the Clone Republic series and co-authored 100 Fathoms Below with Nicholas Kaufmann. He lives in Seattle, Washington. View titles by Steven L. Kent
