Rise of the Peacemakers #9
Unshackled
It’s an unbreakable defense versus an unstoppable assault!
Decades after Bull took control of the long-abandoned facility on the moon of Tambu, it has become a refuge, a weapons manufacturing facility, and a holding point for The Company’s varied assets. It has remained one of The Company’s closest-held secrets.
It is not a secret anymore.
With the fleet overwhelmed, casualties piling higher and higher, and the defenders all but eradicated, the Science Guild believes they have free reign. The Guild is wrong. They didn’t count on Ruxandra Roxtador, a mostly-retired Pushtal spy, a small cadre of living science experiments, a trio of fearless Flatar, and Lucille, the base’s synthetic intelligence.
They will hold the facility at all costs, or die fighting.

Who is there?
Your favourite invasion force!
The Rise of the Peacemakers series is slowly coming to an end. In this book, we discover what happens at the secret base Bull set in place to build up forces and rescue Snowman would he run into more trouble than he could handle!
The enemy knows there is a base and sends what it thinks is overwhelming force to take it...
They just didn't realize how tough the defenses were and to what ends desperation could drive people!
A seemingly unstoppable force against an unmovable object...
The best chance of the defenders? Lucille! But Lucille is a bit hobbled and need a friendly, helping hand, or paw, to reach her full potential, defeat the invaders and ensure Snowman has a chance!
Will she get it?
Only one way to find out! Read the Book!

You picked a fine time to save us Lucille:->
Our favorite Synthetic Intelligence (SI) Lucille is at it again up against the evil Science Guild and their cyber zombies. We also get unlikely heroes – literally Alvin & the Chipmunks (Flatar) who want to be TV dinners??? Also, who needs James Bond when you have Buff Orpington and his bevy of beauties! This is a fast paced, fun packed Four Horsemen Universe (4HU) story which is a real page turner. So put on your aluminum foil helmet, holster your customized XT-12 pistol and crawl into your assigned silo so you can binge read this one!

This is one of my favorite entries into the 4HU. I don't know why exactly, but everything just came together for this book to be an absolute page turner

Another excellent volume in a fascinating series. The authors show lots of imagination, creating believable heroes and heroines of a multitude of different species (including non-biological).

Another One!
Another brilliant book. Starts off prior to the evening of Book 8, runs parallel and then catches up. It's great to see the other characters and reminds you how massive thus universe is. There's plenty of action, drama, despair, tragedy and hope. And as usual, plenty of questions answered and needing answers.

Chipmunks Rule!
Starts out a bit slow, but it quickly builds to an amazing ending!
Still more questions about Minerva and her relatives now…
