Red Nova

by Paul L. Centeno

The twenty-seventh century—also known as the Galactic Era—is a dark and crude epoch where humans question their purpose of existence more than ever before. Amidst the nihilistic condition that haunts humanity, a regiment of soldiers must rise up, confront their inner demons, and save their seemingly hopeless, crumbling universe from falling into utter destruction. This is not a story about one hero or heroine; it is a story about a whole crew, because only by working together can they defeat the menace that threatens them.
