In A Certain Type of Conflict: Humanity's Rise, the fragile balance of power in a galaxy torn by war and political intrigue is tested as the Dawson family navigates the complexities of empire, alliance and personal ambition. John Dawson, the eldest son of Lord Carmine, returns home to the Darius system after years serving the Alliance, only to find tensions simmering within his family and the empire. As he reconnects with his brothers Derek and Malik, long-buried rivalries and secrets threaten to surface. Meanwhile, in the Xena system, young Sinead Jones begins her career in the Federation's political intelligence division, unaware of the web of manipulation she is stepping into. With the war between the Federation and the Marshall systems escalating, alliances shift, loyalties are tested and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. This gripping tale of duty, betrayal and the cost of power explores what it means to rise, and what it takes to survive.

Connor Cooke
Connor Cooke is an Irish writer, born and raised in the countryside of Meath. Although he has always been a creative person with a passion for storytelling, his interest in the formation of governments in the distant future stems from his academic background in international relations, particularly his master’s degree in conflict studies. Inspired by iconic science fiction franchises such as Star Trek, Star Wars, and Battlestar Galactica, Cooke often felt that these stories lacked a deeper exploration of the inherent political struggles faced by spacefaring societies as they strive to expand their civilisations in size and power. This fascination serves as the foundation for his book.
