Republic Under Siege: Threat from Within - Paperback

by Michael J. Brooks (Author), Xyana And Leilani Dewindt (Editor), Ida Jansson (Cover Design by)

In the second book of this adult science-fiction series, a defiant colony immigrant ostracized by planet Eden's rigid class system joins a clandestine resistance, and she sets out to recruit Randal Scott into their secret war against murderous extremists determined to preserve the status quo.

What is the journey of a lottery beneficiary, a colony immigrant, like? What happens when an immigrant is transplanted on Eden, the utopian motherworld of humanity's intergalactic republic, with hopes and dreams only to find themselves still marginalized by a class system? Akane Sugimori, a nineteen-year-old immigrant, found out, suffering through one tragedy after another.

Akane fortunately survived the hardships of Eden's class system and now attempts to recruit Randal Scott, one of the colonies' liberators, into a social-justice organization fighting for immigrant equality. Randy seems to be the perfect prospect, now finding himself a pariah among his brothers and sisters-in-arms since siding with the Coalition and taking part in the Battle of the Quad. But Randy discovers there's more to this organization than meets the eye, as he becomes entangled in a violent shadow war that may have a seismic impact on the New Humanity's future.
