NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- Marcus, a.k.a “w1n5t0n,” is only seventeen years old, but he figures he already knows how the system works–and how to work the system. Smart, fast, and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school’s intrusive but clumsy surveillance systems. But his whole world changes when he and his friends find themselves caught in the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and his crew are apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison where they’re mercilessly interrogated for days. When the DHS finally releases them, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police state where every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him only one option: to take down the DHS himself.

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

This story takes place before the great war of the geth and quarians on Rannoch. Whereas the quarians could rome without enviro-suits or helmets. All fans of the gaming franchise, Mass Effect, know well the loyal and trustworthy (except kinda near the end of Mass Effect 3's take back Rannoch scenario) geth companion, Legion. For he is the main Protagonist of this fan-fiction. For those who have not heard of the series, there is some insight I put up on my profile if you are interested in what actually going on here in the setting. (Spoiler Alert for new Mass Effect 1-3 Players) Play the video for good back up music during the chapter. TOC: Chapter 1 - Beginning of a Catastrophe (1 page long) Chapter 2 - Thinking of War (2 pages long) Chapter 3 - An Explanation (1 page long) Chapter 4 - We Cannot All Just Get Along (1 page long)

Order 66 has been long passed. The Jedi, for the most part, have been exterminated, and the Empire has stretched over vast areas of the galaxy. Yet the Empire has not completely obliterated the Jedi. Kemberli Wan-Oba, a young human girl, has been brought up on Aetheria, a small planet in the Outer Rim, by a surviving Jedi Knight known as Yurlon Batado. For over a decade they have escaped detection. This peace cannot last, however, and Darth Vader himself arrives to destroy the only world Kemberli has ever known. He kills Master Batada and leaves Kemberli alive with the ominous choice of "die, or join the dark side." Alone, unsure, desperate, Kemberli falls to the dark side.... And begins a life she never imagined as the apprentice of Darth Vader. But the dark side is full of mystery, and while it gives Kemberli power she has never dreamed of, it begins to show her shadows of the past she has never known...
