About Planet of the Angry Giants: The Ultimatum at Sunrise

The Terran colony on Dunhill V exists by permission rather than force. Its human population is small, temporary, and vastly outmatched by the planet’s native inhabitants—giant humanoids whose physical presence alone makes violence unthinkable. For months, coexistence has held, supported by patience, careful diplomacy, and a shared silence that passes for peace. That silence is broken not by the giants, but by humans who arrive believing distance excuses exploitation. What follows is a chain of decisions made quickly, quietly, and without consent. As the consequences surface, Commander Laurence Burke finds himself responsible for holding back a reckoning he may no longer be able to stop. Planet of the Angry Giants builds tension without spectacle. The threat is not a weapon, but time. Drums carry messages across the hills. Empty spaces speak louder than accusations. The question is no longer whether the giants are dangerous, but whether anyone can convince them they were not betrayed. There is no clean solution here. Every response risks making things worse. Burke must decide what duty actually means when law protects the wrong people and honor offers no escape.
