Overview

"In the labor pits of Earth, Jack Gael is a slave to the alien conquerors known as the Union--until the day he discovers a lost weapon of incalculable power, and becomes the Gladiator. Now Jack must forge his own Union and strike back against Earth's evil alien masters, if humanity is to be from alien domination. But can Jack's oddball team of resistance fighters-- a renegade scientist, a time-lost Roman Centurion, and a mysterious time-traveler --long survive against the aliens and their enforcers: the diabolical, robotic Kratons? And just who exactly is the strange man in blue who's pulling all their strings--the strange immortal known only as John Smith? The latest pulp adventure novel from the author of VALIDUS-V and the SENTINELS series, UNION draws its inspiration from great Valiant comics like X-O, Magnus and Doctor Solar; particularly those written by Jim Shooter and Bob Layton and masterfully illustrated by Barry Windsor-Smith, to whom the work is dedicated. ""A truly fast paced, action-adventure SF tale that owes it roots to the comics of the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties... Plexico (has) won lots of writing awards in the past. UNION may deliver him another."" --Ron Fortier, Pulp Fiction Reviews"
