Finn's War
Listing Details
If you had the power to genetically alter yourself, would you? Even if it meant others died under the knife for your pursuit of perfection?
Alien First Contact meets Adventure Sci-Fi as Finn, Zuri, Noah and Corporal Smith (deceased) face the most horrifying alien of all - humans.
After arriving on Togalaau Vai full of hope, they find a paradise accessing their planetary SeedShip, and on first look, maximising its knowledge for the good of all. However, scratching under the surface, they soon discover the true depths humankind will go to.
When Zuri is thrown into prison and forced to fight in the Tau Pit for the pleasure of the rich and powerful, Finn has to bide his time and wait for her release. After things go badly wrong, his inner demons are released, and the crew find themselves in Finn’s way as his fire rages across the planet.
With Noah and Yasuko developing space capable Battle Armour, Finn takes his rampage into orbit, where five powerful companies reside in their spectacular space stations. Faced with the dilemma of saving a whole people from the clutches of debt induced slavery, where the only way out is to sell your children for genetic research, or pursuing his own personal crusade, Finn calls upon the squad to climb into their armour and fight at his side.
As the team learn how far they are willing to go to help others, Yasuko, the ship's AI, continues her personal journey as she stands alongside her human crew. With the impact of their actions reverberating around Togalaau Vai, the companies make their stand, and the deaths pile up. In response, Yasuko produces the equalising weapons she promised the crew as they left Bathsen.
But will they be enough as the squad faces the might of human depravity and corruption? And will Smith finally get the chance to fight alongside his squad mates?
“If you want to wrap that up in some fancy ideology, go ahead - I’m right behind you with a big gun, powered armour and a bad attitude.”
It’s Finn’s War. You think you’re ready? Think again.
