Desperate Times (2020)

by John Walker
(#9 in Ether War)

A battle stands between the unification of two nations. The Morrigan may well be responsible for the fate of the human race. As they face off against a corrupt soldier using the military to plunder his own people, they are beset upon by internal struggles as well as without. Even with allies, they may not be a match for a dreadnaught with nothing to lose.

Meanwhile, the people of Gallik find themselves under siege. War has come to the settlement as a devastating force descends upon them with the intent to kill. A small force stands in their way, one without hope of reinforcements or aid. While a brutal confrontation takes place amongst the stars, those on the planet must fend for themselves or die trying.
