The Weapon


Mission: Sabotage a Planet, Survival Not Guaranteed . . .
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, no way to keep hiding, 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.
