Well, my second book is mainly based upon Freelancer. I couldn't help it, the game universe just carried me away.
The story in a nutshell:
In the future humans colonize Mars. Then in a big Mars-Earth war, the martians flee to another galaxy, and some other people fleing the war to another.
The ex martians became the Ruthelans(named from their leader), the refugees became the Chymerians(named from the galaxy they fleed to), and the old earthlings became Terrans. The war continued for long across the galaxies with huge casualties. In the middle of the biggest clash ever, a huge detonation came from nowhere and blew away the fighting ships in a flash, and the whole Omega solar system. Just after that, the two frightened sides signed the peace treaty, but the war continued with politics and spying and so on... The creator of the universe grew weary of the war and decided to wipe out the human race, unless they prove that the humans actually worthy of living. A "hunter" (something like a freelancer) is the chosen, he have to geather one of every faction of humans, and together they must prove human kind's wothiness through several challenges traveling across space on board of revolutionary ship...
The books universe is mainly based upon Freelancer, but I very much modified everything, so you wont even notice
If I'll ever have time, I'll translate it and show it to ya!

k:
(internet translation is not avalible in hungarian to english, and if it is my book will sound horrible and funny becouse the huge differences of the grammar...)
