The Remembrance War Book 1

Eight hundred years ago, the Zhen Empire discovered a broken human colony ship drifting in the fringes of their space. The Zhen gave the humans a place to live and folded them into their Empire as a client state. But it hasnt been easy. Not all Zhen were eager to welcome another species into their Empire, and humans have faced persecution. For hundreds of years, human languages and history were outlawed subjects, as the Zhen tried to mold humans into their image. Earth and the cultures it nourished for millennia are forgotten, little more than legends.

One of the first humans to be allowed to serve in the Zhen military, Tajen Hunt became a war hero at the Battle of Elkari, the only human to be named an official Hero of the Empire. He was given command of a task force, and sent to do the Empires bidding in their war with the enigmatic Tabrans. But when he failed in a crucial mission, causing the deaths of millions of people, he resigned in disgrace and faded into life on the fringes as a lone independent pilot. 

When Tajen discovers his brother, Daav, has been killed by agents of the Empire, he, his niece, and their newly-hired crew set out to finish his brothers quest: to find Earth, the legendary homeworld of humanity. What they discover will shatter 800 years of peace in the Empire, and start a war that could be the end of the human race.

About Michael R. Johnston

Born in the San Francisco bay area and raised in Napa California Michael R. Johnston grew up steeped in everything Science Fiction and Fantasy from Asimov to Zelazny as well as endless terrible SF TV shows he still has a slightly embarrassed fondness for. Faced with the choice between moving back in with his parents and continuing school or paying his rent he took a year off from college. He spent time as a court process server a retail sales associate a sandwich maker and a data entry tech before finding himself in a management role.  A decade later burnt out from his job in political research and facing 30 he decided hed had enough and returned to college graduating with honors from California State University Sacramento. In fall 2006 he became a high school English teacher a job he likens to herding a swarm of angry bees. Its the best job hes ever had. In 2013 he attended the 17th Viable Paradise Science Fiction Writing Workshop. The experience of having his story critiqued by other writers some of them professionals hed been reading for years helped him realize he could write professionally and introduced him to some of his best friends.  He currently lives in Sacramento California with his wife and daughter surrounded by a circle of incredibly geeky and amazing people. When hes not writing or teaching he spends time with his family plays video games and tabletop RPGs and reads.  He blogs at MJohnstonBooks.com and can be found on Twitter @MREJohnston.
