Polaris Awakening

2015

ZEUS PROTOCOL 000101: REBOOT, SCAN. DANGER DETECTED. THREAT UNKNOWN. RECOMMENDED INCREASE MILITARY PRESENCE. There’s trouble brewing on Polaris. Under the watchful eye of the space station’s supercomputer, Zeus, the lower classes are awakening to the corruption of their wealthy, privileged, and protected leaders. When the quiet voices of protest get louder and alliances form, change dawns on the horizon. But the small acts of resistance won’t be enough to subvert the system for long. Zeus is alert to the growing threat level, and he will do whatever’s necessary—including purging the lower levels of Polaris—to preserve stability for all. Inspired by the mythology of the constellations hung around Polaris, the seven stories in Polaris Awakening reimagine the classic characters in a futuristic world where alien creatures are commonplace, combat arenas are used for entertaining foreign dignitaries, slaves and soldiers stand side by side, and music orchestrates a revolution. And their first acts of defiancé are just the beginning. Polaris will never be the same. ZEUS PROTOCOL 000099: ENGAGE THREAT.
