The Acer Chronicles: Liberation's End
Cadet Nathaniel Brant thought he knew who the enemy was.
In a galaxy torn apart by war, Nathan trains to pilot massive Titan Frames for the UNSC, haunted by his brother Marcus who vanished during a classified mission. When a mysterious AI named Naomi crash-lands into his life during a routine peacekeeping operation, Nathan discovers she's carrying secrets that could change everything-including the truth about Phantom, the unstoppable killing machine that's been terrorizing UNSC forces.
But in this war, nothing is what it seems. The Liberation Front fighters Nathan was sent to protect may not be the heroes they claim to be, and the Artificer pirates everyone calls criminals might not be the real villains. As Nathan and his squad uncover a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of command, they're forced to choose between following orders and doing what's right.
When Nathan finally learns the horrifying truth about Phantom's identity, he'll have to make an impossible choice-one that will turn him and his team into fugitives and set them on a collision course with the very people they once called allies.
The Acer Chronicles: Liberation's End is a gritty military sci-fi thriller about brotherhood, betrayal, and the true cost of war in the depths of space.
The way the tension builds with the main character's decisions in this one had me hooked, those moments of quick thinking and the subtle hints at their inner struggle were super engaging. The dialogue felt snappy and real, especially during that intense exchange toward the middle. I also loved how the setting came alive with those vivid descriptions of the environment; it really pulled me into the scene. No spoilers, but that cliffhanger at the end? Brutal! Can't wait to see where this goes next. Great work, keep it up!
can't wait for more! I really like Boomer! he's such a funny character!
always manages to exceed my expectations with character development. this story is even better than his previous work "The Rat King" it feels like he can really let this story breath!
