[edit]
| “ | Though the Word of Blake controls Terra, in name and in fact, there have been those who resisted against their rule. But the incoming ComStar invasion caught them offguard. Now the resistance has to play catchup, doing their best to take advantage of the confusion and to help the Com Guards in the fight against the Word. | ” |
Plot Summary[edit]
Farmer's wife Eli Alexander from rural Montana, North America, Terra, is actually on TerraSec's most-wanted list ever since Edelle Kearny had been shot out of her Avatar ten years ago. She escaped captivity after weeks of questioning and started a family.
Falling stars—debris from the space battle—prompt her to activate her resistance cell. When they determine from intercepted radio traffic that the ComStar attackers have established something of a bridgehead at Riga, Eli returns to her BattleMech which was hidden in a lake and activates it to join the fight against the Word of Blake.
