About

What will you do if you inherit a powerful alien technology? When rumors of an alien ship spread online, Anton “Tony” Segerstrom thinks it is all a prank…until it appears above his college campus. Tony is selected to inherit the aliens’ Forerunner technology and its homicidal robot guardian. With the power to create almost anything he imagines, Tony becomes the most dangerous man on Earth--Prized. Adulated. Feared. Hated. The only catch: Pledge allegiance to Earth’s secret benefactors and join them against a more sinister threat beyond the stars. Refuse, and humanity will face the galactic war alone and defenseless. But the galaxy is a grueling and deadly place, and to stay alive, Tony must inherit a dangerous throne and build a legacy to protect his home and everyone he loves. Set on modern-day Earth, Imperium Rising  is a slow-burn, empire-building, sci-fi adventure. This is not isekai or litRPG. What to expect: Our MC builds his nation from the ground up, fighting (and managing) other factions/governments from within Earth and across the galaxy and learn to become a powerful sovereign. There's political intrigue, action set-pieces, space exploration, and slice-of-life drama. Fair Warning: The male MC is gay. I wanted to write a male lead who is queer in a sweeping space opera epic. I notice there aren't a lot of MCs like that, so enjoy!
