Lost Signals of the Terran Republic

Lost Signals of the Terran Republic

Marc Miller
0/5 ( ratings)

Welcome to the 22nd century where humanity has just reached out to the stars and now finds itself challenged by contact by five very different alien species whose motivations are as unusual and arresting as their physical forms. Of course, planet Earth still has plenty of problems, injustice, and inequities of its own to deal with.

The novels of the Terran Republic series are a deep dive into the high-stakes exploration, statecraft, and warfare--both with other species and among ourselves--that churn and change our post-contact world. The title character--Caine Riordan--is part of a diverse cohort that has been tasked with juggling these rapidly shifting challenges, often at odds with their superiors as they bring fresh solutions to these novel situations.

However, no world is defined by a mere handful of experts and heroes. Rather, just as our own world is full of different people and perspectives, Lost Signals expands the universe of the Terran Republic by bringing together new voices and new stories in a unique format that intentionally blurs the line between fact and fiction.

The first part of Lost Signals is faux reportage: wire copy, features, and brief articles from the world of 2122 AD. But just as there is always the truth behind the news, the stories in the anthology then reveal what was really going on behind those sanitized accounts of Earth's most desperate hours.

The untold stories revealed in Lost Signals include:

* Delta Parvonis Three is home to primitive aliens, 20,000-year-old mosaics, and quasi-Greek ruins. Will a cultural archaeologist's work strengthen the link between Earth and this distant planet, or spark a destructive panic among her fellow humans?
* The crew of a lone frigate, having drawn the tedious job of picketing a nowhere system--just a way-point between here and there--laments the lack of action. Until an enemy shift carrier brings the war to them.
* When Indonesia’s corporate clone-soldiers are ordered to slaughter civilians, many of them resist--and rediscover an ancient truth: every slave rebellion gives rise to a Spartacus.
* When N’Erkversh, First Voice of the First Family, realizes that his invasion of Earth is crumbling, he does the only thing a noble Hkh’Rkh can do: fight to the death. But there are others, eager for him to live, who fight to ensure his safety.
* "Follow the money" takes on a whole new meaning for reporter Della Monroe when she decides to track down thirty-six missing Space Fleet sailors and Marines.
* On a contested world of scant resources, the Arat Kur stumble upon a gift to offer humanity, even though it may permanently upset the balance of power in the Accord. But only if humanity can cooperate in turn.
