🚨 STATUS: MACHINAtions of Freedom is 100% complete with the sequel in the outline phase! Chapters will release reliably with no delays or hiatuses. The United Nations turns conquered aliens into fuel and weapons. The Global Emancipation Republic strikes from the shadows. Modeggar Syed just wants to survive. Two centuries after an alien war ravaged the planet, Modeggar scraps by in the Burntlands—a wasteland reserved for U.N. dissidents, all marked as traitors. A widower who has already lost his own child, his bitter worldview is narrowed down to a single goal: keeping his pregnant sister alive. Safe inside the colony of Crises’ Fissure, Modeggar has spent his life avoiding the century-old war raging outside. But when depleting resources put his sister’s childbirth at risk, desperation forces his hand. He unearths an abandoned war machine powered by an imprisoned alien known as a Pelonion. He doesn’t see a weapon; he sees an energy source. But activating the giant machine alerts the regime’s butchers. Dragged into the crossfire of a war he wanted no part of, Modeggar is forced into the pilot’s seat of the very technology used to oppress his world. To save his family, the man who wanted to be left alone must survive the battlefield and fight for the freedom of two worlds. 📅 Release Schedule:• Weekly chapters every Tuesday morning @ 8:06 AM EST• 🚀 Patreon: Want to stay ahead?
