Galactic Mandate: A Radical Cause
by
M.R. Richardson
Genre:
SciFi, Space Opera
The
galaxy is in turmoil. The two main powers, the Acolyte Empire and the
Clone Defense Force, vie for supremacy.
Caught
in between are the weaker Galactic Planetary League and independent
planets, pawns to be used and discarded in the greater game. The
peace of the galaxy rests on a powder keg…and the fuse is about to
be lit.
As
the son of the Acolyte Emperor God-Reign, Devante lives a life of
power and luxury that few can fathom.
Since
childhood, he has devoted his life to one thing: freeing the clone
slaves of the CDF and banning the practice of cloning throughout the
galaxy. But he is about to uncover a secret that goes to the heart of
the empire he loves and serves, one that will set him on a course of
vengeance and destruction that will shake the galaxy to its
core.
Against
this backdrop of war, treachery, and intrigue, Galactic Mandate tells
an epic saga of god-emperors and assassins, spies and queens,
princesses and slaves.
The
lives of all will be irrevocably changed as Devante embraces his
destiny—for when empires collide, no one is safe, and there is no
place in the galaxy to hide.
Prologue
A
clear, simulated sky covered the dome, its fake sun feeling just as
warm as any real one. Insects
buzzed around, birds chirped, and the tropical bio-dome was full of
life. Devante, a timid boy,
sat near his father, Reign, waiting for the hover car to arrive. It
wasn’t long before an immense
tank-like vehicle pulled up, loaded with all the hunting gear they
required. “Take
this shotgun,” Reign ordered. Looking down, he saw Devante’s eyes
raised with concern. “It
will get the job done quickly. Trust me. You don’t want this to
linger on.” Devante
stopped inspecting the gun and jumped aboard the hovering SUV. Then
they were off on
their journey to complete the hunt. About
forty-five minutes passed while they tracked broken branches,
searching for their prey. Frustrated
at not finding anything, the driver called out, “We can always call
it a day. There’ll be
plenty
of hunting to do tomorrow.” “Hell
no,” yelled Reign. “I paid good money for this. We get this done
or we stay out here.” Devante
felt his sense of relief fade away at his father’s words. Suddenly,
a bush shook, and the driver
fired at it. Laser fire scorched the air as he took two quick shots. The
entire party set out on foot, rushing after their quarry. Devante
quickly outpaced his father, following
close behind the driver, who was an expert tracker. Soon, they heard
a human voice up
ahead shouting, “Ahh!” This was followed by a thud. Suddenly, a
rock struck the driver’s face,
and he smacked against the ground with another thud. Devante
looked down, his eyes focused on the sight before him. His mouth
curled down in a frown,
and his eyes watered. The emotions flooding through him made his skin
crawl with horror.
An exact copy of himself stared back, equally shocked.
The
firm hands of his father came to rest on his shoulders. “Take the
shot, son.”
