Republic Shattered - Brooks Michael J.

Guardian Randal Scott faces the grim reality that his friend and former comrade, Jarius Ford, may be enduring brutal torture or may have already met a tragic fate.

Randy's heart aches to secure Jarius' freedom or mete out justice in his name. However, he finds himself in a moral quandary. The perpetrators responsible for Jarius' abduction are products of the Commonwealth Defense Force's (CDF) sins, scarred souls seeking retribution. Their leader, Zataldra, carries her own traumatic past as a survivor of heinous atrocities committed by the CDF. The thought of destroying this new enemy troubles Randy's conscience, yet with an impending bloodbath looming, he may have no alternative.

Complicating Randy's already stressful life is the return of his onetime lover, Private Akane Sugimori. Her presence strains his rekindled relationship with Stacie Spencer and forces him to question where his affections lie. Which woman truly holds his heart? It's something he must figure out while also contending with the pressures of serving in the CDF.

As the Commonwealth teeters on the brink of annihilation at the hands of its newest foe, emotions reach a fever pitch, bonds are tested, and the fate of countless lives hangs in the balance.
