Uprising: The Alliance Chronicles Book 2

Author's note: This is my first attempt at writing since publishing my original book on Amazon back in 2013 (I took a hiatus for reasons I won't bore you all with). I won't link it here without clearance from the moderators to do so, but you should be able to find it easily enough by searching for the series name.
Once I've finished the book here, I will publish it in eBook format on the same platform, and make plans for book 3.
Opinions and comments are welcomed. A full synopsis is pending.
