Tides of the Continuum 1: Making History
“He watched as his dome shaped viewer showed the swarm’s approach. He hated them, all of them. The entire human race, those still living on and around Earth had earned a special place in his heart as his most bitter enemies. As a young officer, he’d heard the old stories of Earth ostracizing his predecessors. He’d read the reports concerning power struggles written by Alexei Romanov. He'd forged his own way to the top in spite of James Benton.
That name was gone now. That man died a few years ag...o in an accident, but from the ashes of that weak and feeble creature, arose Gracchus in a flaming rebirth. He enjoyed comparing his own life with that of the mythical Phoenix.

The life Benton once knew snuffed out in a glorious conflagration, but Gracchus, the child emerged young, and new, and powerful.
