Encounter with the Hemogeny Book II
End of the Pirate Oligarchy
By Joel Guttormsen
Humanity thrives across the galaxy centuries after escaping Earth thanks to revolutionary stellar and interstellar engines. One of man's peaceful explorations into unknown space collides with the insectoid Hemogeny, Earthman's worst childhood nightmare. Luckily, the research ship "Curious" escapes their initial attack to finally meet with an escort fleet of small destroyers to escort the Curious home.
Captain Teach must warn the Alliance in the Humanities capital but gets sidetracked by a pirate attack on a freighter just after the brilliant alien Jemma and the earth scientist develop an interstellar tachyon ship wake tracker.
Excited, the captains of the joint task force returning to Kirkland, the capital, decide to test the device when they answer an SOS of a freighter being attacked by Pirates. The small navy fleet unknowingly trailed the pirates to a massive hidden base with a terrifying weapon. Now, the Curious, armed with reinvented weapons and a squadron of eight human destroyers, choose to do their duty. This time, they have an unexpected ally: Jemma, an ex-Hemogeny enslaved person with her fight for freedom.
Can they survive the pirates and expose the weapon before it unleashes unimaginable destruction? This first contact is knowledgeable and resourceful, which she uses as she learns to exercise her new freedom. She seeks a plan to rescue her people and save two races from the Hemogeny, a race of intelligent, aggressive beings.
