Rebellion Michael Brachman

Rebellion (Book 2 of The Rome's Revolution Saga) opens with Rome and Rei finally arriving at Deucado only to discover that their new home world is a prison planet. They crash land and find themselves embroiled in a civil war which can only have one outcome: genocide. Rome's Revolution is a three-part interstellar adventure featuring a man from the 21st century and a woman from the 35th century who band together to fight forces dedicated to the extinction of mankind. Cinematic in scope, Rome's Revolution offers romance, comedy, heart-pounding thrills, suspense, "legal" time travel, and meticulously researched hard science. It is a love story and a culture clash. The entire Rome's Revolution Saga has everything you love about hard science fiction: robots, aliens, computers, genetic manipulation, spaceships that travel faster than light and some that travel a lot slower. After a year-long journey towing Rei's Ark II with the frozen colonists aboard, Rebellion (Book 2 of The Rome's Revolution Saga) opens with Rome and Rei finally arriving at Deucado only to discover that their new home world is actually a prison planet. They are immediately attacked and must crash land to escape. Once they are down on the surface, they find themselves embroiled in a civil war which can only end in genocide. Rome must rejoin the Vuduri mass-mind and fight a battle of wits with the Overmind of Deucado, the all-powerful but twisted ruling intellect that holds the planet in an iron grip. Meanwhile, Rei must find a way to quell his bloody-thirsty comrades who want to enter the fray within 24 hours of being reanimated. Unbeknownst to our intrepid couple, lurking in the shadows is yet another group, living beneath Deucado for half of a millennium, who also want the planet all to themselves. Rome and Rei's only ally is MINIMCOM, a deadly hybrid computer/starship who has arisen from the ashes of their crash landing. Together, the two humans and one spaceship must find a way to stop a war before it starts.
