About the Book

Augmented Humans have been used, as slaves and as 'cannon fodder', in the Darinx Empire's war, against the Verm Empire. The Augmented Human Rebellion began some 30 years ago, when some Augmented Human soldiers were forced to desert the Darinx Army, or to die a useless death. That company of Darinx Army soldiers was able to capture some Verm Navy vessels, and then they used those warships to escape the wrath of the Darinx Emperor. As they 'ran for their lives', they became stronger in size and in purpose. This wasn't the first rebellion by the 'augmented humans', but it was the first one, with a chance for success. That small group of soldiers grew into a small navy, by capturing Verm warships. And they became even larger, as they sold their services as mercenaries, in the Frontier Sector of space. The Darinx Empire was forced to treat 'augmented humans' better, out of fear that there would be a wholesale desertion, by the Darinx 'augmented humans'. Now, 30 years later, the conditions for 'augmented humans' have improved, but there is still prejudice and grudging acceptance. The other factor that has caused the improved conditions, for 'augmented humans', is the fact that they are far superior, to any other Darinx fighters, in strength and in mental capabilities. The 'augmented human' soldiers/sailors have changed the trajectory of the war, in the favor of the Darinx Empire. And, the Augmented Human Rebellion has morphed into a more general rebellion, which includes other disadvantaged groups - such as Artificial Intelligences. At this point in time, Artificial Intelligences are now similar to humans - except without the bodies. But they are considered to be disposable property, with no representation or rights. At the beginning of this book, a young navy Ensign named Melissa Meyers has been severely damaged in battle. Her 'augmented' brain has been transplanted into a 'super-sized' clone body. She makes her way up the 'ladder' of success, and becomes the first ever 'Captain' of a Darinx Navy warship. This book is centered on her 'trials and tribulations' as she fights for her life, and for everyone's freedom.
About the Author: My background is in Engineering (BSEE), and Art (BFA in painting), and my work experience has ranged between the two Engineering has paid for the essentials of living, and art is the reason to live. You can see some of my artwork at www.terrylefler.com. You can contact me directly at terry@terrylefler.com. But there came a time, when I decided that I should try writing something other than technical literature. Science Fiction was a childhood love, and I especially liked military stories. So, it decided to write a science fiction book about a space war. It was my intention to write an 'action packed' story without too much of the character development, which I usually find boring - I usually skim those parts, and move on to the action. My first effort was 'Tipping Point in the Alliance War. After that, I decided to try a 'trilogy' about 'The Augmented Human Rebellion'. The first book was entitled 'The Inception', and the second book is entitled 'Retribution'. There is one more book to write for the 'Augmented Human Rebellion' series. I have enjoyed the process so much that I expect to write some more books. Hopefully, I will improve, from book to book. And I will probably stay with military science fiction, because I still haven't written the book that I want to produce in that genera. Thank you for your interest. Comments would be appreciated. Terry Lefler
