A method has been discovered to
infuse war machines with the spirits of the dead, forcing them to relive the most
painful memories of their past lives in an endless spiral as they are pulled
from the ether and used as energy for their mechanical purposes on the
battlefield for exterminating their master’s enemies. They are only partially
aware of the killing, living half in a dream, half in a state of rage. Though this
knowledge has resurfaced, there are those in power actively opposing its resurgence.
However, these Cherine Wars are only a relic,
a throwback to a time when technology, technology only one man could have conceived,
was brought into the knowledge of men. Then, light had gone out of the heavens
in the blink of an eye, so had the means for clustered intergalactic travel,
and in time people completely forgot they were once connected to the rest of
the universe. Religions cropped up over the millennia as a result, referencing
times immemorial when Reyes roamed The System. As eons passed, people forgot there
were once means for super-longevity, and as technology now begins again to gain a
foothold on the edge of human consciousness, only General Lancaster,
spearheading the Seventh Legion of the Outer System, can lead the impetus to
restoring order in The System out of a demigod’s reign of biorbital terror and
religious indoctrination on a system-wide scale. With a newly formed group of transcendental
warriors backed by the full force of Cherine Loyalists, he intends to free the
spirits of the damned, and take back the heavens that once belonged to them.
First time novelist Charles Harder
sets out to fuse his passion and interest of philosophy and beliefs from East
to West, with influences varying from western Sci-Fi and Fantasy literature and
Japanese RPGs from the golden days of the 16-bit and 32-bit era of masterful
storytelling that went completely under the radar. Cherine War is out today on Amazon.com
