Valor's Uprising: A Young Adult Military Space Opera Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798873718597)

"We fight not for ourselves, but for future generations, though we may not live to see it." -Izhak Katznelson

Jiden Armstrong has fought and bled for her homeworld of Century, now she has to put it all on the line. The UN Star Guard, the self-appointed rulers of humanity, have decided that the Centurions are a threat to their control of human space.

The Guard have detained all the refugees from Century for use as hostages. They plan to force the Centurions into the front lines of the fight against the alien Culmor Empire, there to fight and die until none remain.

Before they act, Jiden has a narrow window to save her people. It will require extreme risk and a no-fail mission, and that's only the beginning. Because the Star Guard have run roughshod across many worlds and the only way for the Centurions to save their people is to ignite an uprising in the heart of one of the Guard's strongholds.

Jiden is taking on the most powerful military in human space. She and her teams have no allies, no support, and no reinforcements. If she fails, then her people and even her newborn children, will pay the price. Because the Guard realize they are losing control and they will kill entire planets if that's what they have to do to remain in power.

Valor must carry the uprising because the alternative is the destruction of all that Jiden knows and loves.
