Vae Victis - a science fiction novella

The world as we know it is lost. The Týrs, combat trained clones, had taken over the world, and humans survive in small groups. The only way to stay alive is not to make the Týrs angry. Someone from Becky’s group failed to keep this simple rule and as the result Becky loses her home and her family. She is taken to the former Naval Air Base Pensacola, where lives another group of survivors. Is she going to be able to start a new life there? And what does the man, who saved her life, really think about her?

Characters:

Rebecca Nemoray (Becky) - a stubborn madman. When she wants something, a concrete wall isn’t enough to stop her and her own death might slow her down a little

Sgt. Finley Wallace (Finn) - an annoying soldier, hiding a lot of emotions. His favourite weapons are sarcasm and persistence.

Cpt. Raymond Collins (Ray) - Finn’s best friend, which means he’s very, very patient.

Professor William Lyttle - a mysterious persona. He knows much, but doesn’t tell anything.

Philip King (Phil) - Becky’s dead fiancé. Funny how things can turn out, right?

Cpl. Grant Kennedy - an expert in the area of explosives, overall a very cool and collected person.
