Deep in the Scroll of Sophia, that mystical goddess the Vegans hold dear, is a nearly forgotten prophecy of a time when the invader’s boot will tread on Vega 3; the prophecy says Sophia will send a sword—a sword of justice—and the invader will be torn asunder.
Is the prophecy real, or just a false hope? And if the prophecy is real, what…or who…is the “sword of Sophia”?
Three years after the last shot is fired and Vega 3 is conquered by the Sirian Confederacy, Erik Norgaard comes home from prisoner-of-war camp. Vega 3 has been overwhelmed by the Confederacy, its women raped, its society enslaved. Erik has to swallow a bitter pill, made worse by the fact that his baby brother has joined the invaders.
As Erik finds a job and renews old friendships, his girlfriend Valyn lands a job with the dreaded SE, a job that gives her access to confidential computer files. Valyn learns of atrocities that must not go unanswered, and Erik is compelled to take action. The Sirians call him a terrorist, but the Vegans give him another name…
The Sword of Sophia fills in the blanks between Oliver Lincoln’s war and the one fought by Johnny Lincoln. Visit the cold, dreary world of Vega 3 between the wars, during the time the Fighter Queen was born. Walk among the Sirians but don’t look them in the eye—it’s a dangerous planet out there.
