Empire of Isolation

Fractured armistice is the first epic length military science fiction novel in the Empire of Isolation series from Steven Beck.

On an unforgiving planet, a fragile ceasefire between the vast Unysean and Feran Empires was brokered by the stasis-imprisonment of one man. A criminal named Malefactor—the human symbol of an atrocity laden war that left both sides scarred and bitter. Now, decades later, the war has become more myth than fact.

Captain Leo Bastion of the Mauslar City Guard has finally found peace from the ravages of the corrupt, untamed Feran empire, and memories of barbaric civil wars. When his jungle city is attacked, and the fences and towers that kept them all safe fail, his soul can't bear to witness another genocide at the hands of the Infected, and their new monstrous allies. Despite his second in command and best friend Lieutenant Aaron Corsario urging him to abandon the city, Bastion refuses, placing all his hope in a final desperate ploy....

In the catacombs below his city lies Malefactor. A man that powerful is exactly what Bastion needs to rescue his beloved city, but will he help? And has his mind survived the eons of tortured nightmares of his stasis? The results of Captain Bastion's decision spark a short fuse to a new global war that could purge the Empire clean of life. Bastion must fight his way through the savage feral lands, get his friends to safety, and if at all possible—survive the coming apocalypse.

Listen for the deadly action, suspense, the epic battles, exotic weapons, frightening enemies, and for grim world deep with mystery and brutality, but most of all, listen to follow Bastion and his allies on the journey of a lifetime.
