Choice of Alliance

Semi-Finalist – American Christian Fiction Writers, Genesis Contest, Speculative Category

Trapped between warring civilizations, which side do you choose with little knowledge of either?

A mission gone horribly wrong.

Geo-engineer, Lt. Keely Hollis, is stranded on an uncharted planet, caught in the crossfire of a fierce interplanetary war.

One side rules the system with ruthless technological supremacy wielding energy weapons and a cruelty bred into their code.

The mismatched resistance battles with swords, crossbows, and an unshakable creed that sustains them.

When Keely saves a resistance commander, a formidable but intriguing man, she expects to be met with gratitude. Instead, he brands her an enemy collaborator and threatens her to death.

Faced with an impossible decision, will Keely switch loyalties to save her one remaining crew member? Or will she sacrifice everything to start a life she never imagined?

The war demands a choice. Whatever she decides, there is no turning back.
