He explains this as being due to his visor once blacking out in the middle of a fight and him nearly shooting his commanding officer. He also is mindful of the equipment the soldiers use something else uncommon for ranking officers. He has an informal style of command, treating all as equals. Captain Gaylan McKay Under Klyber, he had been given access to high-profile assignments, color guards, and generally bypassed many other officers despite his rank. He is very self-sacrificing as an officer, and indeed, his last command was to try to save as many of his unit as possible, at cost of his own life.
He is presumably killed on Hubble in a type of cave in, trying to flush separatist enemies out. He is described physically as tall, thin and wiry, with steep shoulders, fine white hair and sunburned. Tabor Shannon One of the last Liberator-class clones, Shannon is standoffish on duty, (being described as gruff, ruthless and profane by Harris) but is considerably more relaxed off duty. He is described by Harris as being intimidating and having intensity radiate from him, and also has intimate knowledge of UA standard equipment. Normally has an oversized particle beam pistol, a low yield grenade (described as only having the power to take out a few buildings) and a grenade launcher. He wears pitted and scratched up body armor over coveralls, made of stiff bulletproof canvas. He also has in his possession various types of robots and at least two ships, all heavily armored and armed. His physical strength is roughly the strongest in the series, only potentially being matched by the Seal-class clones, though their fighting style relies less on brute strength and more on speed. A humorless mercenary, Ray sometimes goes to extremes to get the knowledge he wants. In a time when race normally doesn't exist anymore, Ray really stands out. Ray Freeman A massive, tall, black, bald freelancer. He ends up finding a way to suppress the death reflex by heavily abusing medications, and starts a small band of similarly realized clones. He is an avid bodybuilder and hates other clones. He originally transfers Harris to the Kamehameha via shuttle, which is where they become friends. Vince Lee A clone who has partial realization that he is a clone, or at least enough doubts to make him worry that he will activate the gene that would kill him for that knowledge. Like all Liberator-class clones, he is engineered to be ambidextrous, but has a preference to be right handed. He was created at Unified Authority Orphanage #553. He originally thinks he's the only human at the orphanage he came from, but it is later revealed he is a newly minted Liberator-class clone.
Shortly thereafter, a fleet of separatist ships carrying the deserters from Ezer Kri flees from the planet before anyone can react.Ĭharacters Wayson Harris The protagonist of the book, born the (novel) year 2490, Wayson has better than average tactical skills and responds fast to orders for a human (though not fast enough to avoid some mild reprimands). Freeman sends another soldier back with Harris's helmet on, then leads Harris to the hotel across the street where they ambush Kline, a man they'd dealt with in Gobi, wielding a rifle that has been set to track Harris's helmet signal.ĭuring his interrogation, Kline is revealed to be a Morgan Atkins separatist (an influential terrorist group). The Kamehameha deploys to the planet Ezer Kri, which is attempting to leave the Unified Authority and establish a nonstandard culture (namely, a Japanese one).Īfter a platoon is killed by locals (they ignite a fuel pumping station), marines are ordered to occupy the largest town on the planet, where Harris runs into Freeman. After Harris and a mercenary named Ray Freeman prevent an ex-general from killing all the marines and raiding the armory, Harris is promoted and transferred to the flagship Kamehameha. His first official posting, a desert planet named Gobi, seems like a punishment as there are problems with it such as poor discipline and contaminated drinking water. In a galactic military largely consisting of clones raised to be unquestioning soldiers, Wayson Harris initially has difficulty as he seemingly isn't a clone and he does not follow orders as quickly.
