The Truth

The Seryys Chronicles #2.5

by Joseph Nicholson

A young, ambitious Fleet Commander learns the truth of his people’s ancestry. However, this information comes at a price—a high price—when he is asked to give up his command and leave his home at Colony One to lead a group of separatists. Unbeknownst to him, an organization known as the Black Gate Society has been trying to cover the truth for a century and they will stop at nothing to keep that truth hidden.

Reviews

[Precious Sullivan]

The Truth offers an intriguing premise built around ancestry, loyalty, and a secret powerful enough to threaten an entire society. I liked the idea of following a young Fleet Commander whose discovery of his people’s past forces him to make an enormous personal sacrifice and step into a much larger conflict. The presence of the Black Gate Society adds another layer of mystery and danger, especially as they work to keep the truth hidden. It’s an interesting setup for readers who enjoy science fiction involving secrets, political conflict, and characters caught between duty and what they have discovered.
