Books Descriptions
It's been eight years since Colleen Cavenaugh's home world was conquered by the
Derichets. These aliens are bent on harvesting the planet's resources to fuel their
warships, no matter the cost to its human natives. Any defiance of the Derichets'
rule--the smallest step out of line--can get you beaten, sent to a work camp, or even
executed.Colleen's family is gone, killed in the war. She lives alone, far from the chaos
of the city, far from the alien overseers and the dangerous gangs. Her only friends are
the other humans who toil in the Derichet factory and, against all likelihood, a
Derichet overseer. Colleen knows the safest thing to do is comply with the Derichet
regime...until the day when the recklessly brave Jann and a violent gang of rebels
called the Chromatti invade her quiet rural home. Now Colleen must decide if it's
worth risking the survival of her newfound family to join the growing underground
revolution against the Derichets and help free her world.
