The First Expeditionary Marines of the Colonies of Ghara scratched out a foothold on the wild planet of Selva five years ago, with only a tenth of the expedition surviving the onslaught of monsters the planet offered.
But they destroyed the entire colony of mutating, horrifying insects, and now, husband and wife Master Sergeant Dustin Cline, and Captain Melody Cline have their son on the world, as do hundreds of other colonists, safe on islands, or at the top of massive trees the insects cannot climb.
Mines have been built, and trains now run between the major settlements.
But sedition grows. Miners forced to work long hours for unfair wages are striking out in rebellion, declaring themselves free from the yoke of the government that sent out the expedition.
But why now? Why would regular colonists see sense in fighting against the population of four moons, protected by thousands of trained marines on a planet filled with monsters lurking in the dark jungles in every direction?
Because those same miners have found something buried deep. Something terrible.
Something worse than the fear of authority, and if they don't act fast, they'll lose any chance at freedom they would ever have.
Dustin Cline and his rebuilt fire team are sent out to the mine at New Falun to discover just what exactly is going on, and what they find will change the future of humanity.
Rebellion is the least of Dustin's problems.
Colony of Lies is the first episode of Season One of The Ghara Chronicles. To enjoy the story of the colonies, please read Colony Lost before starting this book.
