Two soldiers in a war that had just begun, both understanding the horrors that had already happened and were yet to come.
Because this was only the beginning, and neither of them could quit. Not now.
The Written History of the Great Insurrection
When we read history, we often hear about the heroes. Their great deeds. Their happy victories.
That's why we honor them.
That's not what history is. It certainly isn't what this history is.
You've reached the end of the beginning. Through luck, daring, and brute strength, Prometheus beat back the Commonwealth. He recruited his new-age knights who would serve him until their death. He saved me.
He'd escaped his death, but his wife was still a universe away, and an empire still ruled.
We had our warlord, a being more powerful than any who ever existed before, and now it was time to assemble our army.
War was coming to Earth.
Prometheus Wakes
The story continues with Prometheus Wakes, coming July 13, 2021 to Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.

Author Notes - David Beers

The third book is done, and there’s only six more left to go.
This is the longest story I’ve ever written, and while I’m enjoying it immensely, the term epic does continually come to mind.
I’ve always wanted to write an epic, something that spans long periods of time and space. I think a lot of writers probably have that dream in mind.
I just experienced someone close to me die this past weekend, so I don’t have a lot to say right now—my mind is elsewhere and still thinking about all that needs to be done before she’s laid to rest. So, forgive me, and this short author’s note. Life comes at you fast, and right now I’m just trying to keep my head above water.
Thank you, as always for reading. I hope to see you in the fourth book. I know that I certainly need a break from life, and Alistair Kane is ready to give it to me.

Thank you for reading both this story and our author notes!
Sometimes, we need a story where the action is stellar – related to stars not quality – just so we can escape from the confinement of our city, our neighborhood… hell, our own house.
I’m reminded that I’m often in my imagination so much that I can’t tell the difference sometimes between what I’ve thought about and what is a real memory of my own. The more stories I do or are a part of creating, the more the problem exists. It might be due to getting older, but I’m not ready to admit that possibility.
I’m sure lawyers would @#@#^ hate me. I swear I would suck with details if called as a witness.
Thank God I’m not an engineer.
Or a plane mechanic. If I was, this would be my story in a nutshell:
“Yo!” the pilot looked down at me from the hatch as I was closing up the housing on the jet engine.
I looked up, “Yes?”
“We good to go?”
I wave him off, “Make it happen, buddy!”
Walking off, I put my hand idly in my pocket and feel four nuts and bolts. I pull them out and wonder where they came from.
Turning around, I see the plane taxiing off. “Oh… crap.”
So, I have been singularly created as an amazing vessel to create stories where the only thing I have to worry about is the story at the moment, in the moment. Which is why between books, I lose continuity on the story and have to go back to my notes about the bigger picture.
And the character names.
While I realize that the author John Ringo will never read these author notes, I’d like to apologize for that time (while reading something like book 06 or so in his Ghost series) when I might have had a few unpleasant comments about forgetting what he did in book 02.
I’m sorry, and paybacks – or karma – has been a bitch to me.
I hope you have a STELLAR week! (Amazing, not related to stars.)
Ad Aeternitatem,
Michael Anderle
