Rise and Fall

By J P Robertson

In a world where there are few functioning societies left the New City of Sydney stands above them all, but it has secrets. The people that control the city are not politicians, or bankers, they are Alphas. They are elite, untouchable, and control everything from the shadows.

Rise and Fall is the explosive sequel to Two Delta India Echo. Following the story from Two Delta, Jack and the team are making their way into the mega-corporation know as MDC.

Jack, an alcoholic, disgraced military soldier is forging a road to redemption. His visual enhancements, military training, and drive to make good on his life push him to take a stand, but he can't do it alone. Thankfully the elite have no shortage of enemies, and none more-so than the tech wizard Cindy. With her family taken from her by a corrupt government while she was still a child, Cindy has spent her life throwing the biggest spanners she can find into the works of any Government in power.

Between them they have a small window of opportunity to get into MDC and show the world what is happening before them. The only question that remains, is if a pair of renegade individuals can hold it together long enough to achieve their goal.

Based on character from the Red Shift novel, dig yourself deep into a world where fiction meets fact.

I am a Science Fiction writer, releasing my first novel in 2014.Although I am an adult, I am a kid at heart, often reliving my youth vicariously through my children. I love everything about SciFi, from futurist concepts, to high-tech weapons and gadgets, and pure escapism.My writing is aimed at adults, and young people that can handle a bit of violence and foul language. Although neither attributes are foundations of my writing, I do not shy away from using the common colloquialism you would expect to find with the types of characters I develop.If you like futurism, action, espionage, and colorful characters, you'll like what I make.

Sydney. It was a city in trouble, there was no doubt. Even though the city was the hub of the remaining research into Climate Management. Even though it was one of two remaining metropolitan areas in the world. Even though most of the world’s history was stored there in the art, literature, and cultural antiquities. It was in trouble, and people needed to know.

Cindy was feeling the fire begin to burn again. The desire to make a change, to stand up and be counted, and to show the elite Alpha’s that they may have the Government hoodwinked, but she wasn’t going to stand for any of that crap. And she owed it all to Jack. Sure, he had his faults, a shopping list full of them, but once he had his mission set, no-one was going to stop him.

These thoughts rumbling through her head were starting to pound so hard she thought her head would explode. It was time to kick the mission off, she knew it and so did Jack. The only thing holding them back was Kobeur.

You there Jack. You’re quiet. What is the go, we on?
