by Steve Rzasa (Author)

Three Misfits on a Secret Mission

Three years have passed since the Naplian Empire launched a bold invasion into Terran space, capturing the Baedecker Star System to secure vital serjaum fuel reserves. This act of aggression has ignited a fierce conflict with the newly-formed Terran Republic.

Taggart "Tag" Wester is a seasoned squadron leader entangled in relentless battles across the Great Desert Rift. His expertise and combat prowess make him an invaluable asset, drawing the attention of Terran Intelligence, which recruits him for a mission of paramount importance. To succeed, Tag must overcome his deep-seated prejudices and place his trust in the most unlikely of allies.

Lira Lin Reen is a master thief whose illustrious career has hit a dead end. To escape her plight, she must navigate the treacherous waters of espionage and double-crossing, where the stakes are far higher than mere monetary gain.

Elden Selva, now a Truppen cyborg, grapples with his new identity while dealing with the mysterious disappearances of his comrades. As he delves deeper into the truth, he discovers that deception runs deeper than he ever imagined, and he is not the only one ensnared in a web of lies.

As the Terran Republic is pulled further into a maelstrom of war and political intrigue, the actions of these three individuals could determine the fate of millions. Their journey is fraught with peril, and the cost of failure is nothing less than catastrophic.

In Strife's Cost, experience a riveting tale of courage, betrayal, and the enduring fight for survival in the vast expanse of space.
