Bedina's War — Evelyn Rainey

Bedina's War follows three generations interwoven by the War for Unification. The Alliance, Commonwealth, and Space Lab Nations have now become one, but it is a universal truth that the wages of war are paid by the generations to come. For each faction, this war was no different. Captured Space Lab Nationals suffer severe dementia followed by death, a medical condition for which there is no cure. Salvation comes when a Commonwealth ship's engineer discovers the harmonics of the engines slows the dementia. The discovery leads to the invention of Songboxes. Thirty years later, many families remain splintered and separated. Sixty years after Bedina's War, a new battle arises that could devastate the union of nations. Soldiers are dying from a mysterious illness. The Songbox is the key to the cure, but can lives of the servicemen be saved in time?"
