Spectra Arise Trilogy

Read Spectra Arise Trilogy Storyline:

In a few hundred years, the Algol system becomes humanity’s new home. The question is: Is it a better one?Contract
of Defiance, Contract of Betrayal, and Contract of War follow former
Corpsmember Aly Erikson and her crew of anti-Admin smugglers through
ever-escalating life-and-death adventures and the trials of a living on
the side of liberty and freedom—whether they agree with the law or not.
Most are no strangers to fighting and dissent, but more than anything,
they want to spend their lives flying under the radar without control or
interference from the system’s central government, The Political and
Capital Administration of the Advanced Worlds, aka, the Admin. But the
Admin's greed-drenched dualism of power and corruption has other plans,
and throughout the series, Aly and her crew are reminded of one lesson
time and again: when all other options run out, never let go of your
gun.CONTRACT OF DEFIANCEWhen a crew of arms smugglers
botches their latest job, Corps-deserter and crewmember, Aly Erikson, is
separated from her brother, the only person she can trust, and left
behind to fight for her life. In the aftermath, as she tries to piece
together what happened, a crew of roughneck settlers pressgang her into a
dangerous mission in the heart of Corps territory. Time is running out
to get back everything she’s lost: her crew, her brother, her options.
But no one is taking her gun.CONTRACT OF BETRAYALIn a bid to
free the settlers of Agate Beach from their dependence on picking at
Admin scraps, Corps-deserter Aly Erikson’s crew is willing to make a few
deals, even with the devil. When Aly learns her friends have deceived
her, she has to decide which is stronger: her sense of having been
betrayed or her allegiance to the rebel cause. After an old ally offers
her a convenient escape to a new life, the decision should be easy. But
when the Corps threatens to wipe out everything that matters to her, the
only course of action left is the same one she’s taken for as long as
she can remember—fighting back.CONTRACT OF WARIn the
aftermath of a system-wide war between the Admin and Corp Loyalists and
the non-citizen population of the Algols, everything once resembling
order has been leveled. Scattered enclaves of survivors dot the worlds,
living, however they can, in snarled lawlessness. Aly Erikson and her
crew have carved out a niche of relative peace, doing their best to go
on with their lives through salvaging, scavenging, and stealing. But
with no force left to keep the lid on the pot, the pressures of chaos
and discord soon cause conflicts to boil over. As enemies close in from
all directions, even, sometimes, from within, the crew once again must
fight—not just for survival, not just for their way of life, but this
time for a future that can finally lay to rest the system’s bloody and
savage past.
