Description
Laurence Jones, an ordinary soldier at Valour International Military Organisation, had expected to fight a war against some humans to defend others. He had never expected to go against a whole alien race to protect mankind. * * * This more comedic yet darker counterpart and spin-off of Voltaic tells the story of Larry, Enrique, and his newfound acquaintances, Jennifer, Veronica and Tara, as they fight to survive a horrifying indundation of extraterrestrials as they flood Chicago with their kind. Larry leads the group in ensuring that they will live to tell this story to others, although they don't know one thing-that he had known about the attack beforehand. Valour had reiterated it just before it had all happened, that a mass casualty event would occur in the city. They called it the "Calamity of Chicago". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Word Count: [[37,500-42,500 when complete]] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st Place in the Luna Awards 2023 - Mystery/Thriller/Action Genre 2nd Place in the Hibiscus Awards - Action Genre 2nd Place in the Rose Gold Awards 2023 - Adventure Genre 2nd Place in The Crown Awards - Adventure Genre 3rd Place in the Literary Book Awards - Adventure Genre 3rd Place in Dazzle - Below 500 Awards - Action/Adventure Genre 3rd Place in The Magic Book Awards - Best First Chapter Category
