Contention

by Brodey Fobes

Brought together by a series of unfortunate events, a crippled naval captain, a tortured warrior,an Ex-Marine, and an engineering genius find themselves thrown together down a path from which there is no escape. Pressed into service or sworn to defend their planet, they are under orders from the United Nations Federation to traverse known space aboard the UNFS Manifest Destiny and face off with a sentient species of superior design. When the battle cannot be won and all that remains is annihilation, the crew must challenge their understanding of both time and space in order to escape. Out of power and crippled from their ordeal, they find themselves crash landed on a planet so vastly different yet similar to the home they left behind. With the enemy closing in from space and new battles to fight on the ground, the survivors must overcome their differences if they intend to beat the odds and make it out alive.
