The Weapon

Kenneth Chinran was a disaffected youth who joined the

military and was recruited for an elite deep cover unit, surviving training and

exercises so tough that several of the recruits did not survive. At the peak of

his career, he was sent by his star nation to infiltrate a fascistic,

militaristic planet--Earth.

He lived in deep

cover for years, marrying and having a daughter. Then the Earth forces attacked

his home system, and he and his team came out of hiding, attacking and

destroying the infrastructure of the crowded planet, disabling transportation

and communications and creating terror in city after

city.

As a result of his attacks, billions died

for lack of the food, water and power which the ravaged system could no longer

supply. His sabotage was successful, but the deaths of so many weighed heavily

on his mind, making him wonder if he was still sane. Then the secret police

discovered his identity. With his daughter, the only thing in his life that had

so far kept him human, he was on the run, while the resources of a planetwide

police state were tracking him down. He could see no way to escape from the

planet and if he and his daughter were caught, death was the very least that

they could expect.

But Chinran is a warrior in

his soul, and even if he loses this last battle, he won't go down without a

fight that his pursuers--the ones who survive--will never

forget.
