Rebel’s Ultimatum by J.N. Chaney, Scott Moon (Homeworld Lost Series #8)
English | 2024 | Science Fiction
With the Tyton alliance firmly established, everyone is ready to defend the Obsidian Gate and face down the Taliz Dwellers. Noah will lead the leviathan element of this effort, naturally, but is captured and whisked away before the first major battle.
Can he resist brainwashing by the most feared interrogator of the Dweller swarm? He’s been through a lot, but never expected an alliance as unlikely pineapple breakfast pizza.
During his first escape attempt, Noah shows mercy to a guard he could have killed, and the ruthless interrogator, Voc’ti, not only takes notice, but vouches for his ability to express empathy —which is something the Taliz Dwellers doubted other galactic races could understand.
This act turns Voc’ti into an outcast and gets them both tossed into labor camps where an outsider’s lifespan is measured in hours. They fight to survive, and Noah learns more about his enemies than he thought possible. All he needs is a dramatic Kayan’s crew rescue, which could happen they haven’t gotten tired of his adventure seeking antics.
