Join the Resistance!
The bad news: the alien Arat Kur are bringing the war to Earth’s doorstep—and they’re on their way now. The good news: though the Arat Kur are exceptionally advanced, every ship needs fuel, and the Arat Kur need deuterium for their fusion plants. In order to get it, they’ll have to make a pit stop at Jupiter. And it just so happens that the Russlavic Federation and the Americans are in orbit around Jupiter, waiting for them. But for Sergei Andreyev and the crew of the station Hephaestus, what is supposed to be a simple information gathering mission maybe soon turn out to be much, much more deadly. Read “Not for Ourselves Alone”, a new novella in the Tales of the Terran Empire series, from Charles E. Gannon, here. |
