Leek Lanzia, who many believe is "the Liberator" mentioned in
the Prophecy, is given command of the remnants of the mutant
army after it is decimated by the TGA’s seemingly invincible
hovertanks. He must reorganize and rebuild the army if there is
going to be any chance of stopping the TGA from marching all
the way to Rigomol and overrunning the capital city. After losing
a bid to becoming chancellor, Lorin aligns herself with Leek in
order to preserve the organization she and her father have so
painstakingly built and to save the Nanomites from Videl Lai’s
ordered genocide. While rebuilding the Loyalist’s 3rd Army, Leek
proves himself a capable leader and quickly gains the support
and admiration of his soldiers and the people of Tarizon. But as
the war drags on Leek yearns to rescue his mate, Lucinda, held
captive by Videl Lai in the capital city of Shisk.

Seventeen year old Leek Lanzia has found life on Tarizon
dangerous yet rewarding after being exiled from his birth planet
earth. He is the orb’s savior if one can believe an ancient
prophecy. In that role, Lanzia leads the mutant Loyalists and their
allies against the superior forces of the Tarizon Global Army
especially their hovertanks.
However, various races who have been divided in the past and
encouraged to remain split by the ruling elite have rallied around
the savior. Soon the Loyalist side has air power that almost
matches their foe. Meanwhile still a teen at heart and in other
parts of his anatomy Leek tries to rescue his mate, Lucinda.
The sequel to THE LIBERATOR continues the unlikely but
entertaining and satirical adventures of the exiled Leek on
Tarizon. He now leads a growing force of mutants and other
species n a civil war, but still has issues with raging hormones
(though I would like to see more of his raging hormones
interfering with his duties and responsibilities) that call for a time
out so he can rescue his girlfriend. Once again the underlying
message of this fun young adult military science fiction remains
at a minimum tolerance for all while the preferable choice would
be consensus.
