    About this ebook

    Me'ryn is a mess. The planet has been under the control of an old Governatore for decades, but on the edge of the galaxy, supplies are limited. The Governatore has sequestered many precious resources for himself, and the elite ruling class on the planet. They have food, drink, vehicles, parties, and a life of extravagant luxury, the envy of the rest of the planet. But the rest of the planet resents this. They have very little. Taxes keep going up, security enforcement keeps rising, and it is getting harder and harder to survive. More and more bodies can be found on the streets, and no one can spare the effort to clear them away.

    The time has come for this to stop. A rebel activist, going by the name 'Zal', has had enough. He and the other rebel leaders have been quietly working on a resistance movement, and over the years many thousands, perhaps millions, of the planet's citizens have joined the movement. In secret, they have been organising protests, and staging rallies. All are quickly put down by security forces, but awareness amongst the population is building. Tensions are as high as they've ever been, and the Governatore rules with as harsh a regime as he always has. The time is finally coming for a cataclysmic clash.

    The only question remains, will the rebels be able to overthrow the entrenched rulers? And will they be able to do this without attracting notice of a most terrible and powerful sort?

    Author

    Alex T. Kolter

    Alex T. Kolter, who very rarely writes about himself in third person, but will make just this one exception, is an author. But not just any author, he's... actually, he's just any old author. But he's not too shabby, according to many and more people, some of whom aren't even related to him. He grew up in the fabled land of England, got his nose stuck in a book from a very young age, and hasn't been able to tear it away since (superglue may have been involved). As a result, he grew up loving stories, from The Chronicles of Narnia, to, yes, Harry Potter. Then he discovered science fiction, and writers like Asimov, and decided to embark upon writing a literary masterpiece himself. And then he wrote the first On Galaxy's Edge novel. Now he wanders the barren wastes of the internet, hoping to persuade someone to read his book, so that he can continue to produce astounding, breathtaking, mind-blowing, overwhelming, wondrous, spectacular, staggering, legendary, phenomenal, remarkable, groovy, awesome (yes, I did just use a thesaurus) works of fiction.
