Boots of Oppression
by M.J. Konkel
Triton did not choose to be a soldier for the oppressive Spitnik regime. He was forced into it. Then he is given the options of killing innocent civilians or be sent to a camp which he would not survive. Just when all hope appears lost, the situation dramatically changes, and he finds himself on the other side. The Spitniks are determined to bring the desert moon Bahram under control. A rare element there would greatly accelerate their plans of conquest of other worlds. The Bahramians are determined not to let the Spitniks have it. Triton could help. But only if he can win their trust. He must hurry since it is not just the freedom of the Bahramians at stake. It is the freedom of all people in known space.

Long Description
I am a soldier forced to fight for the oppressive Spitnik, and I was given an order I just can't bring myself to obey. Failure may cost me my life.M.J. Konkel delivers in this stunning new hard-core space opera bold characters, vividly described worlds, and imaginative action scenes. Set in a distant future on colony worlds that long ago had lost contact with Earth. One of those worlds, Spitnik, is now out to forge an empire by conquering all other colonized worlds. In their sights is Bahram, a largely desert moon of a ringed gas giant. But unlike earlier worlds conquered by the Spitnik, the Bahramians have no intention of simply rolling over.
