Phoenix Rising: Book Two of the Icarus Trilogy

By Kevin Kauffmann

Phoenix Rising continues the story of Ryan Jenkins and his teammates from the Crows. They are slaves to a corporate system that uses death and resurrection as just another hidden fee; their pain the entertainment for the masses. Most people watch War World and just think it's the next best thing in sports.The Eris Freedom Initiative wants to change that.They have recruited doctors, undercover agents and soldiers, but the system in place is oppressive and far-reaching. Above all of them stands War World Entertainment, the company that owns Eris, a planet full of slave soldiers.These corporate masters have promoted Ryan Jenkins as a hero, but the man fighting and dying on those screens is not the same boy from New Chicago. He was behaviorally modified and is a symbol for the Trade Union's corruption. He is a sociopath who enjoys killing, a hero for all the wrong reasons. That's why The EFI is planning to bring the real Ryan Jenkins back.But can humanity rely on a man who killed himself?
