4	''[[http://www.sparkoftyranny.com/2011/11/part-0.html SPARK of Tyranny]]'' is an online serial novel, updated Saturdays. In the future, Humanity has spread to space. But Earth has been brought under the control of the [[HumanoidAliens Kilon]] [[TheEmpire Federation]]. Other human civilizations, including the Martian Confederacy, stand by, held back by fear or apathy, and tolerate the humiliation of Humanity's [[VichyEarth homeworld]]. Will Earth remain under the control of the alien Kilons? Will Mars rise to liberate it, or supplant it? Will [[TheCaptain Alex]] and his [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits crew]] find their way in an unrelenting galaxy?
