>>12439390I wanted to write a book series back in high school based of sorts of the Expanse. Too bad my writing skills are shit.
Earth and Mars are locked in a Cold War, but neither side is really prepped for it. Mars gained its freedom a century ago but since then neither side made much effort to build up their navies. Meanwhile Titan also said was granted independence alongside Mars, and they ended up creating a monopoly on the export of Helium 3. Mars and Earth are different too. Earth is a cushy world where people don’t work a day in their lives and is effectively Weimar 2.0, while Mars is a neo-Fascist state run by its military.
Anyways I even drafted characters and shit. The book follows a new captain in the Martian navy who faces the decimation of said navy by Titan’s fleet in a sneak attack. Earth also faces this, and the Earth and Mars have to team up to take down Titan’s military. Anyways Titan loses its foothold in the Jovian system, their invasion of the Earth-territory of Mercury fails, and they are driven back into the Saturn system. Titan eventually falls, and the war ends. However remnants of Titan’s fleet continue the fight in the Kuiper belt, which eventually are destroyed too.
Anyways eventually the main ship is refit and five years after the end of the Titan Wars, pirates attempt to steal the refit Martian ship. They get BTFO’d.
The last book/part in the series sees a military coup on Mars. A civil war ensues and the protagonist and his crew are divided over what is right in human terms, or state terms. The series’ main ship is destroyed and crashes. The protagonist and what’s left of the characters team up with Earth-based special forces and undergo a suicide mission which detonates an antimatter bomb on Phobos, killing the coup leaders alongside the protagonist.
An epilogue takes place 75 years later and follows a young boy visiting the “MN_Mave DD-152” wreckage as part of a school trip.
