Insubordinate - Talos Book Two

Obedience or Insubordination?

After the disastrous end to the Culling, Talos demands Alexander’s absolute loyalty as penance for his attempt at rebellion.  If he continues to fight back against Talos’ control, the Naharaim Valley will die.  But if he gives in and helps Talos keep his stranglehold on Persepolis and its Champions, the carnage in the Coliseum will never end.

Without a friend left in the Village, and with Samuel and his underground rebellion nowhere to be found, Alexander is alone under Talos watchful eye, trapped in an impossible game where each day of indecision ends in more bodies.  As Talos presses Alexander to produce evidence of the insurgency afoot in the shadows of Persepolis – an insurgency Alexander hopes will save him – time isn’t on his side.

Will he submit to Talos, biding his time and hoping for Samuel’s return while more Champions face the bloodsport of the Coliseum?  Or will he recruit a new team of Champions to help him subvert Talos’ control, even if it risks destruction of the clans of the Naharaim Valley?

Obedience or insubordination?  Either way, he’s screwed.

Champion - Talos Book One

Ambition Changes Everything

Modern society has fallen, but the people of the Naharaim Valley have learned to survive…barely. The Harvesters, peddling the promise of provision and supplies for the families of their chosen Champions, visit periodically through a Gate connecting Naharaim to a far more advanced society on the other side.

Alexander has always been a survivor, solitary and able to take care of himself and his family. He had no interest in the Champion contest and the promises from beyond the Gate, but his mother, having fallen severely ill with a simple cold, sets him on a new path.

Reluctant, Alexander begins his training, where pride and ambition soon take over. The rival clans are bigger, faster and more experienced, but Alexander fears failure far more than superior opponents.

As the start of the Champion contest approaches, something doesn’t add up. Why do the high-tech Harvesters need the help of simple warriors to fight their far away war? Are the other clans the enemy or does the true threat exist on the other side of the Gate?
