Power only changes its name, never the hands that hold it. The Martian Independence War is nearing its end, and the Children of Shaka, a legendary elite force of the Confederation of Regents, stand on the front lines, securing victory for their Regent. However, in the web of power that is Tech Feudalism, nothing is ever what it seems. A mission that could end the war spirals into a deadly web of conspiracies, betrayals, and power struggles among the Tech-Feudal elite. The lives of soldiers and civilians become just another variable in a much larger conflict. Experience the war through the eyes of Sergeant "Fatboy," a scout in the Children of Shaka. Genetically engineered super-soldiers, the unit is feared and viewed as little more than freaks by the very forces they fight alongside. Through Fatboy's deeply human perspective, the realities of war emerge in all their complexity: violence, loss, loyalty, fear, friendship, and survival. Amid the chaos of battle and the ambitions of the powerful, ordinary people are left to bear the cost. Farewell, Children of Shaka is a raw, intimate, and unflinching exploration of war, power, and humanity in a cyberpunk future where technology has changed everything except human nature. What to expect: This is a sci-fi novel grounded in the realistic experiences of someone who has lived through war firsthand. Although it is hard sci-fi, don't expect unrealistic or romanticized portrayals of warfare. This is an intimate and visceral account of conflict that, despite being action-packed, is seen and experienced through the eyes of human beings and their dilemmas, hardships, dreams, and fears.
