About the Book
Former Alliance Navy pilot Maarkean Ocaitchi gave up everything—his career, his reputation, his comfortable life—to protect his politically active sister Saracasi. Now operating as a smuggler on the fringes of galactic society, he still believes the Alliance stands for freedom and democracy, despite Saracasi’s warnings that the system is rotten to its core.
When she’s arrested and condemned to death as a traitor, Maarkean faces an impossible choice: maintain his faith in the government he once served, or risk everything to save the only family he has left. Forced into an uneasy alliance with criminals and revolutionaries, he must navigate a galaxy where the distinction between patriot and traitor depends entirely on who’s in power.
In a universe populated by diverse alien species facing systematic discrimination, where peaceful protest is branded terrorism and democracy exists only as a facade, Maarkean discovers that sometimes the most loyal citizens must become outlaws to preserve the very ideals their government has abandoned.
Wayne Basta’s Revolutionary Right launches an epic space opera series that combines thrilling action with profound questions about justice, loyalty, and the price of freedom.
