This is a story of conflict, in a world where lawless action runs rampant; a world much like our own. While the United States, a shadow of its former self, moves from an isolationist policy to a new activist government, despite its many years of struggling with a domestic terrorist group known as the Cadre. The spectre of the Cadre, already spread across North America, begins to loom over Europe and the rest of the world. China''s space-based economic empire continues to grow, while the European Union continues to struggle for king of the hill in the world community, despite internal tensions. Meanwhile, power plays in the various world councils and alliances bring diplomatic tensions to the breaking point. Unity focuses around key players in this political upheaval, the people that have the power to change the present, and who will set the stage for the future. J.R.

Circumstances always work against him at every turn; but somehow, some way, he always manages to get by.

Excuse the dramatic license. Here''s the web page for Unity; http://x0r.us It took me a while to work up the courage to post here; but if you have the time, and the patience, give the site a good look-over and you should have a good idea of what this is all about. Also, I''m looking for a search tool to embed in my site so it''s easier to find things. If anyone knows of anything that''d be great.
