Resistance Movement
(2026)(The second book in the Wayland's Hammer series)
A novel by Terrance A Crow
What's "good choice" mean when all options lead to misery?
Gerhard Wimmer might have survived years of neglect as a prisoner. He might have survived a contrived attack by wild animals. But now, he faces a more cunning threat: a power play among the ruling elite. And he's the key.
The downside for Wimmer? As a political statement, he has more value dead than alive.
No one knew that more clearly than Lieutenant Colonel Moritz Lehner. He also found himself in the crosshairs of the same ambitious ruling elite and his supporters — at the highest levels of government. If he doesn't solve the mystery of the strange man in power armor, and solve it soon, he might discover his value as a political statement was the same as Wimmer's.
Light-years away, Owen Payne struggled to accept that he had failed to rescue Wimmer — and the rest of the prisoners. His window of opportunity had closed. Agitators among the colonies of Sirius began to pull down everything Payne's corporation had spent years building. All their ships and people were fully committed to holding it all together.
That means Payne, who used to work on an assembly line in Ohio, not only had to fix a political crisis that spanned multiple star systems. He then had to orchestrate an impossible rescue. Before the ruling elite on Wimmer's planet killed him.
And diplomacy is not among Payne's skills.
