Scorched Earth: (The Human Chronicles Saga Book #16) - Plot & Excerpts
Synnoc li Qriss was one of them. He was a Master-Overlord at the time—number three in the Juirean military hierarchy—and had just been appointed a junior member of the general Council. At a time of war, the composition of the of the governing body changed, taking in more military officers than Admins. However, with his lowly status, most of Synnoc’s duties took place outside Juir City, supervising the evacuation on the far side of the planet. As a consequence, he missed the last shuttle off the planet before the Kracori launched their air, space and ground attack. Two weeks later—when it became evident the Humans were on their way to Juir—the Kracori dropped their asteroid. It landed a hundred miles off the coast of Juir City. Most of the immediate damage was isolated to that area, sparing many of the remaining Juireans still on the planet, including Synnoc. But then the skies clouded, and remained so for two long years. The full effects of the nuclear winter took hold, and nearly ninety percent of the survivors died from either cold or starvation.
