Description:The Authority Wars: Banished is the opening novel in a science fiction action series with heart-pounding thrills and exciting adventure. Fans of Brandon Sanderson's immersive world building and engaging characters will love this novel.
For hundreds of years, the Authority closely guarded the secrets of their genetic modifications and enhancements. Over this time, the Authority created a galaxy of inhabitable planets to rule with complete control. Their reign was built upon the backs of the non-enhanced Citizen class. Any Citizens not conforming to the Authority's power would be banished to the brutal planet of Hades—a desert planet where technology doesn't work and survival is everything. Then, when all hope seemed to be lost, a group of Citizen soldiers took their fate in their own hands when they started the Authority Wars. Now, a new group of heroes will emerge and change the course of history from the least likely place in the galaxy—Hades.
Stanton was designed by his father to become the height of genetic modifications and human development. He was raised to one day lead the other Gen Mods of the Authority to a final victory in the war. When he disobeys a direct order that would have led to the destruction of the Outer Fleet, Stanton discovers the elites of the Authority are not only threatened by his extraordinary abilities, but this may be the excuse they need to destroy him.
Clara has lived on Hades since she was a child. She's fiercely held on to her deep faith despite the barbarity around her, but that faith will be tested when Authority-backed slavers steal her daughter. She only has an old horse, two bullets in her revolver, and knife—and Clara will stop at nothing to get her back before it's too late.
