Retribution
by Louis Roquain

---

Having faced near-extinction at the hands of the N’davalites—a technologically advanced society who consider humans nothing more than a natural resource to be harvested—Earth’s remaining forces are put to the test in the face of superior powers. As the battle for justice reaches the N’davalite home-world, and facing obliteration once more, Earth’s forces must put their faith in the strategic preparation and armaments provided by Elex—cyborg, friend of humanity, and former N’davalite operative. When that faith could mean the difference between vindication and the utter annihilation of mankind, it begs the question: Does one have to be born to humanity, or is it something that can be reached for and achieved? In a journey that reaches beyond the Terran solar system, and threatens to change the way we look at humanity and mortality, it is man’s understanding that stands to take the largest leap forward, in Retribution—the much anticipated sequel to Louis Roquain’s The Harvest.

Louis Roquain, a retired educator who resides in Windsor, Ontario, began writing short stories as examples for his young students. The Harvest and Retribution are both products of Roquain’s interest in the science fiction genre and his daughter’s encouragement to continue what was originally to be a much shorter story. Some other unpublished works include: Planet of the Olympians (a story based upon the TV series, Star Gate), Confessions of an Acrophobe, Star Truck: the Only Generation, and The Border Horse.
