HECATE by Teemu Salminen

Hecate is a thrilling sci-fi story set on an alien planet. One of the leaders of an isolated colony needs to make difficult decisions about their future as the powerful Sol Empire approaches them...

Excerpt:

'The Sol Empire will never be able to take our colony', the First Founder said. 'If they try, we can simply repel them with 'it'.'

I could hardly believe his arrogance. Would this fool lead us to our deaths?

'If we start a war, we will surely be destroyed', I argued. 'Wouldn't it be better to aim for a favorable peace treaty while we still have something to negotiate with?'

The First Founder looked at me with a condemning expression.

'If you pursue this issue, Faron, I'll ask for you to be removed from the council. We will never submit to the Empire's rule.'
