Messenger Corps
(2024)(The first book in the Messenger Corps series)
A novel by J N Chaney, Terry Maggert and D Glenn Seguin
After centuries of peace, the Cygnus Realm has changed.
And not in a good way.
Dash Sawyer, the original Messenger and humanity's champion in two brutal, star-spanning wars, is long gone. So are his most trusted colleagues, and with them, their noble and storied mechs, ancient, towering war-machines of unmatched power. They have long since been replaced by newer, flashier weapons under the control of officers who call themselves the Superba--genetically enhanced humans who arrogantly consider themselves the next step in humanity's evolution.
Obsessed with power, and pageantry, and the appearance of warriors, the Superba—led by Darius Spann—will stop at nothing to gain total control over the systems living under the Realm banner.
But on a backwater world covered with fields of grain, a young man makes a discovery that will change the universe forever—for he is no ordinary youth.
He is a direct descendant of The Messenger.
Lawson Oddsmaker awakens an ancient weapon, long hidden by the very people who built the Realm, and that weapon has a simple request of him.
Prepare for war. Rally the people.
And above all else, turn the Realm back into a place of true justice, and real peace.
Can Lawson heed the call?
Only the stars know. But soon,the Cygnus Realm will know as well, as the new Messenger begins his ascent to continue the wishes of noble people from the depths of time.
Prepare for war.
Lawson has one answer to that request.
Challenge accepted.
Genre: Science Fiction
