Vestibules: False Axis

By Victor Ajwang

To be or not to be. For Senator Mbayo and 11 billion Areans, the question is literal. When a single warship annihilates the International Space Station in minutes, the balance of power across the Helion system collapses overnight. At its centre stands General Shade, a brilliant, ruthless commander leading the breakaway Proximian Navy, and a man driven as much by vengeance as by ideology. As Tellus scrambles to respond, Mbayo finds herself caught between a collapsing Union, moral compromise and a future she did not bargain for. Nes Vilsak, heir to the Union's political machinery, is forced to choose between loyalty and conscience when the cost of inaction becomes impossible to ignore. What begins as a territorial conflict rapidly spirals into something far more dangerous: a reckoning with the Union's past, its abuses of power, and the crimes buried beneath its veneer of stability. Spanning planetary invasions, covert negotiations and the intimate consequences of political violence, Vestibules: False Axis is an epic science fiction novel about empire, inheritance and the dangers of blind vengeance.
