In a distant future of interstellar travel, planetary colonization, and rampant strife, super-powered humans once known as Altered are forced to live their lives in secrecy under a cruel new regime, the New Human Sovereignty. Now called Remnants, they must try to survive in the face of overwhelming forces. But there is hope. Teth and Pyra, two teenage siblings and Remnants, are getting by. Their lives aren't easy, but they manage to make do with what they have. When a simple mistake drives them apart, Teth must do whatever it takes to get his sister back. Royce, a new recruit in the Hunter Guard Corps., a task force designed to hunt down Remnants, is assigned to his first post. When he finds himself in opposition to his former allies, he is forced to find a way to survive with no powers and some very unlikely new friends. Eve, a Remnant from the desert planet Thirst, sets out on a quest for revenge against one of the most powerful men in the galaxy. Too little too late, she realizes she's in way over her head. On an icy planet in the middle of nowhere, Madlyn "Mad" and Taps Cobb are soldiers in the United Revolution, a rebellious force that stands against the authoritarian New Human Sovereignty. When they are ambushed, Madlyn is forced to make decisions which will determine the fate of her squad and the fate of the Revolution itself. Together or alone, they must face whatever comes at them. For family, for friends, for country, for revenge, or for their very survival.


The Altered Revenge

Chaos reigned the streets of Washington, D.C. last night as members of the Human Movement capitalized on the demise of Co-Governor Drope, burning down several government buildings. Co-Governor Lewis remains under heavy guard in Moscow.

Rich switched off the radio without another word, taking the scout's report as fact. He'd asked another Revolutionary cell to keep an eye on the Sovereignty building while the rest of the team worked toward destroying it. Now that they had confirmation, the rest of the cells would act. Within the space of an hour, riots would break out all over the planet.


Mad let out a small sigh of relief. Whatever had happened at the government building, at least the rest of the squad had been successful. Now the Revolution's fleet would have a chance at survival when it arrived at nightfall.
