Ambush: A Terran Empire vignette
Produced by Al Haines
"Ambush: A Terran Empire vignette" by Ann Wilson is a science fiction short story that appears to have been written in the early 1990s. The narrative is set in the far future, specifically in the year 2578 CE, within a universe defined by interstellar politics and espionage. The story revolves around themes of duty, legacy, and the complexities of personal relationships within a military and imperial context. In the plot, Nevan, a Sandeman warrior, embarks on a dangerous mission to find the identity of an anonymous field agent, Kiyoshi Owajima, who had previously saved his father’s life and whom Nevan has a personal commitment to honor after his father's death. Nevan's journey takes him across multiple planets as he navigates the complexities of intelligence operations and potential friendship with his target. The story unfolds with themes of loyalty and risk as Nevan struggles between the imperial obligations and his moral compass, revealing the intricate dance of pursuit, identity, and the nature of honor in a militarized universe, ultimately leading to an unexpected yet significant meeting with Owajima.
