The Terran uprising against the Corsican Empire has gone far better than expected. But now, as the Resistance turns its sights on Mars, Lieutenant Jacob Mercer discovers a deadly battlestation in orbit around the red planet, preventing any approach by the Resistance cruisers. Jake and his fellow fighter pilots will have to assault the Imperial Strike force alone, without cruiser support, while under constant heavy fire from the gargantuan station. Darkness Defied is a short story of approx. 5200 words, or about 25 pages, and is the second in the short story trilogy Prelude to Resistance, which paves the way for The Pax Humana Saga, a ten part series of novels set for release in March 2014.
Author

At work, I think up ways to thwart terrorists with science. No, really. In my spare work time, I also pitch space missions to NASA. Somewhere in between all that and 2 cute little terrorists at home, I write fiction—mainly science fiction, especially the kind that goes "PEW PEW!" I started publishing my books 3 years ago, and was humbled and honored to appear recently on the USA Today Bestseller list. I was born in Seattle and bounced around between California, Argentina, Utah, and New Mexico before finally arriving here in Rocket City, Alabama. Visit me on Facebook and www.endiwebb.com.
