Nine Interwoven Stories. Ten different heroes. One common adversary.

As the people of Nardva spread across the sun-system, colonizing far-flung planets and moons, Endira Futura-Kaed grasps at more and more power through her ubiquitous corporations. Who will stop her?

*Hira, a blind nobody determined to escape disadvantage, prejudice and the Shamayin ring station to achieve her dreams.

*Sokranis, a math genius with a vision to create a cerebral interface that could restore sight to the woman he loves.

*Zaphron, a young post-doc assistant who is not prepared to compromise.

*Red Five, an emfibi splice clone conditioned to obey the Giver.

*Vikta, a young man torn between his duty, survival and compassion for the rejected.

*Kim, a cynical detective investigating a case at the behest of his political masters.

*Miranda, a scholarship student uncovering anomalies on a distant space base.

*Kenji, a young space cadet eager to sign up for the cause.

*Sonja, an agent for Freedom Dawn seeking to rectify the mistakes of her father.

*Dana, a kick-ass operative determined that her partner's living death will count towards a new and better future.

Nine interwoven stories that stretch from the seat of Nardvan power in Pelinor to the far reaches of the sun-system. Ten different and diverse people forced to face their own demons and overwhelming power, privilege and corruption. A growing band of rebels fighting against the might of Endira Corp.

Will their courage, choices and resolve save Nardva or will they die trying – or worse – be transformed into one of Endira's mindless cyborg slaves?

Find out in Rise of the Consortium, a thrilling collection of sci-fi short stories by Jeanette O'Hagan, set in the future of the world of Nardva.
