Jonas is lost, dazed and confused. His family are gone; his friends are gone and an army of invaders swarm across his planet. He watches in horror as vicious creatures fall from the skies, taking people in single leaps, and battalions of monsters ravage the cities of the place he used to call home. But then hope appears in the form of a wild man on the run. He doesn’t know if he can trust him, doesn’t know if he’ll protect him, but what choice does he have? Where else will he go?
They run and as they escape together, Jonas learns of a weapon that fills him with fear… not because it can stop the invasion… not because it can bring home his family… but because the weapon… is Jonas.
In a thrilling race against time, Jonas must overcome his own doubts, develop the confidence to become the hero of his own story, and find the courage to stand on his own, if he is to ever get back his family and home.
**A note from the author **: This book is a Space Opera. While the setting is obviously different from my other books, it follows the same theme…someone finds themselves in an impossible situation and we follow the personal journey they undertake in order to overcome the odds. I hope you enjoy the story. Feedback and let me know what your thoughts are. Thanks! Benjamin

“…I just finished Influx by Daniel Suarez and was thinking,”How is anything going to compete with that?” The Rule of Lorques kept me absolutely riveted. I read half the book the first night! Great characters, cool tech, and adventures in space. I can’t wait for the next book in this trilogy. Don’t pass this one up sci-fi fans!”

Fantastic! Sci-fi for non-sci-fi and sci-fi fans alike. Gripping!
This was a real surprise. It was recommended to me and when I realised the genre I nearly didn’t bother, given I usually avoid sci-fi if I can help it.
I was ‘there’ throughout the whole story, I believed it and cared what happened to the characters. Fantastic description of the physical environment, I could see it and feel it.
Unlike my previous experience of sci-fi stories, the author has the level of detail just right when describing the technical stuff: detailed enough to enhance the story but not too clever for its own good.
Gripped to the end, I cannot wait for Book Two…don’t keep us waiting too long!!!!

Looking forward to Book 2
Benjamin captures a world in turmoil, battling against subjugation of its own planet as well as the very galaxy, in an entertaining and new light. We watch as his young hero gains confidence in his own abilities and grows through out the story.
The story is paced well and keeps the reader interested. I am looking forward to Book 2.
