The Alliance

Being orphaned on Mars puts Rion Istlegaard on a collision course with the malicious Planetary Alliance.

When his father abandons him in a bustling Mars spaceport at age five, Rion is forced to use his wits to survive by any means necessary. At least he’s not alone. It isn’t uncommon for children to be left behind thanks to the callous rules of the planet’s overseers. But Rion is determined to rise above the squalor and get back at those who took everything away from him. With the help of a legendary spaceship, he just might do it.

The Alliance is a stand-alone novel of approximately 97,500 words.
