It is often the case that an author
creates so many problems and so much tension in a story that it is
nearly impossible to write a believable, satisfying resolution.
You've seen it happen before—the villains are about to triumph and
just when there is no possible way for the protagonist to recover,
some hero arrives unexpectedly out of nowhere, just in time to rescue
everyone. This kind of plot device is the type that will sour an
audience that might retaliate with bad reviews and complaints,
possibly even starting a petition demanding that things be rewritten!
Plot devices that cause the audience to lose their suspension of
disbelief should obviously be avoided, but not all plot devices are
bad. Some of these techniques are useful in conveying a side of the
story you might not otherwise be able to enjoy, and some create a
sense of mystery...
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
