Overview

The Ministry of Progress, under the iron fist of Minister Halric Dorne, has become a tyrannical force, silencing dissent and exploiting the populace with its chilling Iron Sentinels. But in the shadows, a spark of defiance ignites into a roaring flame. In Gears of Rebellion, Callen Vex and his diverse rebellion, armed with ingenuity and conviction, launch a full-scale uprising. They recruit disillusioned engineers, skilled arcanists, and hardened working-class citizens who refuse to live under the Ministry's automated boot. This book is a full-blown war, fought not just with bullets and steam, but with clever traps, strategic sabotage, and the re-activation of forgotten clockwork defenses hidden within Veridia's ancient infrastructure. Tessera Vale leads daring aerial assaults, Brother Gannon inspires the populace, and Callen unveils increasingly complex and powerful counter-automatons. Kerro's role becomes crucial as he might hold the key to understanding or even controlling the Iron Sentinels. The team uncovers the true nature of the ""Clockwork Heart"" - it's not just a power source, but a device that links to the very consciousness of the city, or perhaps its founder. The climax involves a massive, city-wide battle for control of Veridia's central power core, a desperate bid to reclaim the Clockwork Heart and prevent the Ministry's ultimate, irreversible mechanization of life itself.

Author Information

Gregory Parrott is more than a writer; he embodies the very stories he's always yearned to read. Since his restless teenage years, he has crafted worlds where futuristic starships meet World War II battlefields, and ancient dragons exist alongside modern drones. By blending science fiction, historical fiction, thrillers, military sagas, and fantasy, he provides readers a captivating escape through time, space, and the complexities of the human experience. Living in New England, Gregory's vibrant life in Massachusetts deeply influences his narratives. Growing up with rolling hills and rich history has shaped his creative sensibilities. Now, he balances his writing with family life, cheering for his kids at sporting events or brainstorming bedtime stories over a cluttered kitchen table filled with sketches of alien landscapes and battle maps. Outside, Gregory finds solace in the rhythm of the water. Twice a week, he joins a veterans' crew in a dragon boat on the Connecticut River. This disciplined teamwork enhances the realism of his action scenes. After paddling, he retreats to his gaming den, diving into RPGs and tactical shooters, treating these sessions as studies in pacing, character motivation, and world-building. Running also grounds him, especially in the vivid New England autumn. Every run clarifies his thoughts, with plot ideas emerging as his feet strike the pavement, creating a mental ledger of dialogue snippets, settings, and plot twists. Discipline and imagination fuel Gregory's storytelling. His early fantasies, scribbled during math class, echo the same passion that drives his current work. Years spent with veteran military strategists have refined his craft, marrying meticulous research with boundless creativity. Each chapter invites readers to explore universes where rogue AIs lead rebellions, medieval knights find portals to the future, and ordinary people become extraordinary heroes in war. His narratives resonate with the stories we all wish to hear, validating hidden dreams. With the precision of a seasoned tactician and the wonder of a child, Gregory offers a literary passport, transporting readers to extraordinary realms while reminding them that the magic of storytelling lies in the heart of the storyteller.
